Is this telly any good Cambo?

Whats a HDMI socket and why are there two of them? Will it make me Wii games look half-decent? Will i be able to see every blade of grass on the footy?
Is there any point in having a hdtv if you havent got a blu-ray/hddvd/ps3/sky hd,blah blah blah????
Cheers
Aint bad at all, but I am suspicious of plasma in general, they are higher stress devices than ordinary lcd, therefor a bit more faily.
HDMI is the connector format for HD TV's, BlueRay shit etc.
You will need such a source to see much benefit. This TV has a dibber to up-res standard stuff to make it look better, but don't expect much.
Also, it is feckin HUGE so, even HD will look pixekated up close. Standard res will look pretty gash at anything less tha 6 ft I'd imagine.
However, you will be able to see the grass on the footy.
Personally, had I been in charge I'd have specified 50 or 60 frames a second too.
Try playing something back at double speed on a good computer. Pick either a video with nothing that gives speed away, racing cars are good as the camera is steady and the cars just look quicker, OR something that would be in slow motion at normal speed. See how much more vivid and lifelike things are?? (not withstanding anything that gives the game away by looking unatural, because we're cheating to get the framerate, this of course would not be the case were it shot at 50fps in the first place).

Cack power supply, I bet it's an internal one (you plug mains straight into telly).
Ta for the reply Cambo lad
I'm not bothered to be honest, it's me mum buyin it, an i get to have the old one in me bedroom
You are right though, it's fuckin huge, me mum wont like it, it'll be far too big for the living room.
What's the differnce between plasma tellys and lcd ones i.e. which are better, especially with a telly as big as that one????
