The TPU UK Clubhouse

[Fourstaff]

yes, or in my opinion the best non-anime movie in the world

One of the more memorable ones, but certainly not among the best in my books.

well, what do you consider the best then?

I have not seen anything which warrants "best", Lord of the Rings comes close though

only watched the first one, problem is their so long i will lose interest and do something else towards the end

i think fight club was quite good, watched kick-ass yesterday and that wasn't bad, bit of a long introduction before anything interesting happens though

Dead Man's Shoes. My favourite film. Paddy Considine at his finest.
Paddy stars in some films and you wouldn't even know it's him. Man of a thousand faces and all that. I'd say he's my favourite actor.

Crackin' film and I can understand why you like him. Obviously you know but he's in Hot Fuzz.



Did you watch The Suspicions of Mr Whicher?

havn't even heard of that, i'll have to look it up at some point

I must say i've heard many people on TPU say TV's are not as high quality as monitors, and iin my opionion they must have had a pretty crap set up, as right here, right now, browsing TPU, i can honestly say i did not expect TPU to be this clear on a 1366x768 32" LCD, however it's actually pretty good, tommorow i might end up connecting up my 1080P plasma (42") and see what the picture looks like on that, cause with all those extra pixels i'm guessing it's going to be awesome.

I haven't seen that one, no. Just googled it, sounds dark. Might have to buy it. I didn't spot him in 24 Hour Party People until like 3/4 through! The other thing I like about most of his parts is the "freestyle" thing. No script, just a plot; and he pulls it off really well.

I don't know why people say that either. They must be either set up wrong or using S-Video I use a 42" TV at 1920x1080 on my big rig, and it's absolutely gorgeous having so much space to work with. And for games it's just pure sex - I installed Crysis 2 (finally lol) and played it on DX11 with the new texture packs earlier, everything on Ultra. B-E-A-utiful.

Actually yea, I remember having a few problems when setting my TV up with my new GTX470 the other day - it was fuzzy until I changed a setting - can't remember what setting it was tho

 

[cheesy999]

Only problems i have seen is when people try to use HDMi and they use the wrong setting, that said, their are certain TV's i have tried to use HDMI (a 22" i own) where for some reason they will only do 720P or 1080I through thier HDMI, this wouldn't of been a problem for me if it were not for the fact that the native res was 1440x900, and as such the TV would only accept it's native res at 30HZ, so that didn't end well

Overall, TV's usualy have the same, or sometimes better image quality then monitors, the only problem is when you try to use HDMi to do the link as this seems to cause some problems for some very specific TV's which have limits on the refresh rate at their Native res

On most TV's (especially those with a VGA or DVI port, the image quality wil be brilliant though

 

[scaminatrix]

Aah, yes that's it, you've just reminded me - I had to force the refersh rate to 60Hz. On Auto and 59Hz it looked proper gammy. My TV's also got a VGA input, and it was fine through that.

There was a guy here last week who rejected a 32" 1080P IPS panel play.com had on sale that week around the £140-150 mark, as 'it was a TV', i tihnk we can all agree he lost a lot by doing that

 

[MilkyWay]

Ive got a 37inch LG LCD, its okay does freeview decently and the xbox 360 looks great on it. Hooked up via HDMI and i love how ATI cards do the sound, 1080p of course. Id rather sit at a desk when using a pc so i just limit the tv to iplayer, movies, ch4OD ect.

A few of my favourite movies are Grave of the Fireflies (its an oldish anime), Full Metal Jacket, Young Frankenstien, Apocalypse Now and yeah i loved the Lord of the Rings movies those where a good spin of the books. District 13 was pretty good too, just so many films to choose from i even like those lulzy old movies like Short Circuit.


TVs dont make good monitor displays due to the response times among other things. Theres plenty of IPS 23" panels for £150 but they are all LED and 16:9.

Keiren, i will post my repsonse to all of those points in the morning, currently milldly irritated as i'm now posting from my PS3 and the 'Shift-Back-space' key combo deletes all of my post that i tried to respond to your post with, and there is no undo button, this is the third time i've tried to post this, as whenever i make a mistake on a capital letter, i end up pressing 'Shift-back-space' and delete all of the 4 paragraph post i've been trying to make

I wonder who does his typing on a PS3 controller >.>

Fix'd!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

[scaminatrix]

Portability's for people who leave the house
