Hi again,
Pretty much identical bar a few feature differences. For a widescreen set on the cheap-you could do a lot worse.

Do they do auto format change (or what ever it is called - flip between 4:3 and 16:9 automatically when receiving TV signal)

I used to think widescreen was widescreen, but after seeing my mates Wharfedale, and my brothers something-or-other-from-comet I`m not so sure of cheap widescreen TV`s any more. They both were around the £280 mark. Compared with my Hitachi ( around £450 ) the widescreen picture is definitely ` funny `. Nothing wrong with the quality of the picture you understand. It must be something to do with the aspect ratio. Both their SKY systems are set to 16:9, and so are their TV`s, but compared to my TV both their SKY pictures are definitely ` squashed ` looking. I suppose you get what you pay for, but I personally think it`s worth spending the extra on a TV with an ` auto/panaromic/16:9 ` option. www.comet.uk are doing on line auctions of ` managers specials ` and they`ve got a Sony 28" widescreen with a current bid of only £240. It`s just an example of how you can get better for the same money.

This might help! Only a few of the channels on Sky are in widescreen, like BBC1and 2, Channel 4, BBC Choice, E4, Sky Premier Widescreen. Sky Sports 1,2 and 3 and a couple of others. But still, not all programmes on these channels are in 16:9 (Widescreen).
