"OK all I'm gonna give an in-depth review later today. But just to answer a couple of things. I bought the set from Komplett @ £905 including delivery - it took 3 days to arrive.

PQ - variable depending on source, especially tv. However DVD via component (prog scan) is superb and equivalent to the same on a CRT. DVD via scart (no prog scan) I'd say the CRT looks better. Hi-def trailers via DVI (720) takes the viewing experience to another level.

One very interesting feature of the set is the fact you can switch off the scaler which means 1:1 pixel mapping is very easy to do. My PC has an ATI based card so I've been able to get upto 1360 by 768 with 1:1 mapping. In my mind LCD tvs and HTPCs are a perfectly suited.

Main annoyance - the fan ... produces a significant hum but with the quality of the hi-def pics on offer I can certainly live with it. Remote is also just a bit too chunky for my liking.

Also please note a friend of mine spoke to a BenQ reseller about this tv and they knew nothing about it apparently the model is not to be released onto the UK market until this Christmas. This may explain why the BenQ UK website has no details of any of their LCD tvs. I did however have details of the UK operations listed in the warranty booklet as well as being supplied with a UK 3 pin plug.

How do I test that it is HDCP compatible?

Anyway my PC has TheaterTek and FFDSHOW so I'm gonna go away and set this up properly. I've also quickly tried Far Cry, Pro Evo Soccer, Star Wars Republic Commando and GTA:San Andreas and all looked great apart from GTA which I couldn't get to work at all - strange. I'm actually going to build a dedicated HTPC over the next week or so with a Freeview card for telly viewing.

OK thats it for now I will provide a more in-depth review this evening
