Xantheus Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Any English people here who read the Independent newspaper may remember a competition a while back in which you have to solve 3 out of 5 puzzles for a chance to win a Phillips 32" LCD HDTV. Well last week my parents got a phone call saying we had won!!! i couldnt actually believe it. The annoying thing was that it would get delivered on saturday but i was leaving for Italy for a week on the friday, and since i have only just got back i can see the TV and its sooooo goooooood. Its huge! Anyways heres the specs: Clicky And here is the actual TV: I still actually cant believe this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AoM_Scott Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Found the DVI cable, now to figure out what to do with it..... Plug it into your video card at the back of your computer. If you don't have one that it will fit into you may need an adapter so you can use it asa n analog cable (usually a blue connector). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
