Nah, from Noel Leeming but they have to get one couriered up from Dunedin as they are out of stock.
Pretty pleased too, I got $300 off retail and it has built in FreeView HD, plus it's 1080p.

Nice one M-O!
Does it have DLNA?
I'm holding out til DNLA is available for a reasonable price of until our current 29" CRT blows up...

Nah no DLNA as far as I know, but my PS3 has it anyway. My main reason for buying the TV is to have high definition graphics for gaming.
This is the Sony product page for the 40" version of what I got. But I got the 32" because 40" is too massive for my room!

Single Tuner PC Picture in Picture that allows you to enjoy TV in the corner of the screen while using your BRAVIA LCD TV as a computer monitor for the main screen.
Nice. Esato and Lost in widescreen HD at the same time...
You will remember to leave your room occasionally, you know, to eat and stuff. 
Edit: Using SE Bluetooth PC Remote or a Wifi Remote control App on the iPhone would work really well with this.

I was thinking of getting a bravia to use as a computer monitor, but I think instead I will get a laptop (most likely a vaio AW, but I'll see what dell can do)

Awesome, I gotta find myself a cable to use for that! And I should probably buy a mouse...

 Of course! The TV is just for my spare time. I have to go to work and get fresh air and so on...
Can't wait til it arrives though.

Your laptop uses vga right? cause you could just use an old vga cable from your pc to your monitor. Infact I have a spare one left over from when I upgraded to DVI

I see that your TV has a USB port on it too so I guess you'll be plugging in the C902 for some multimedia fun.
@yea g
Your C905 will get along REALLY well with a Vaio AW. My Vaio and my V640i (now my son's V640i) are best friends!

Nah my MacBook has a Mini DVI port. Looks like it's one of those stupid Apple only things that mean you have to buy an expensive accessory.

Oh damn, looks like you need an apple to dvi adapter and a dvi to hdmi adapter
And the adapter costs $40 and add in the $20 for the dvi to HDMI and than it starts to get expensive

Pass...
Why does everything have to be proprietary with Apple? It would be so much easier if all I needed was one cable that was freely available.

"A Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter is also available but not from Apple."
Probably the best idea is to get one of these and then use a standard HDMI cable. Still not cheap but then nothing involving HD has ever been cheap.

Actually I got an HDMI cable for $35 at EB games today. I didn't think that was overly expensive considering the prices Sony sells them for!
But thanks, that's definitely an option!
Also, my TV arrived this morning from Dunedin. I thought that was amazing considering I bought the TV late in the day yesterday! Unfortunately though, I didn't have time to set it up. I'm looking forward to doing that after I finish work at midnight! |
