        ok ended getting a tv stand for $39 from kmart. As the coffee table was out of stock. TV stand is 1Metre wide so just the right size for the tv.

    You're right, even some TVs are advertised as FullHD but they are actually up-scaled to 1080p. The resolution that windows recommends is its true resolution. I have tested some TVs around my house, this is not based on my assumption.

    Most people seem to be happy with it, whether or not it is full hd. If they can't tell the difference does it matter if it is not full hd?

  HN advertised it as 1920x1080, though which is unequivocal

  Not sure if we can ask for a refund if the TCL website also stated 1920x1080!! http://tclelectronics.com.au/product.asp?pid=85&cid=17

  Of course you can get a refund. Shit I think TCL should supply us all with true 1080 TVs. Still I'm not 100% sure yet. I've put up a test pic: http://pixelpics.com.au/stuff/test-hd.html

  its a pixel checkerboard. If the TV is displaying the output of the graphics card directly (as you'd expect on a true 1080p tv, then the background should look an even grey. If there are lines, or patches of light and dark, then its being remapped. The TCL shows these lines - but does so at both 1920 and 1366 resolutions. Also the top grey square should look roughly the same colour grey as the background (if you squint). If it looks a lot lighter then there is resampling happening.

  I still don't think its bad quality - but consumers have a right to get what they;re told they're getting.

  Any chance this would be back at this price?

  Finally got mine. Delayed arrival at my local HN (they oversold and I was too slow collecting it) and have put it up in the alfresco area. Visually, it is brilliant. I'm very impressed for 40" sub $300, full HD or not.

  The one issue I do have though is that USB audio playback won't go through my external speakers? Normal TV is fine, but playing files from USB only comes through the internal speakers. Had a look through the settings, etc and this doesn't seem to be an option. Not a deal breaker, but any ideas to sort this minor issue out would be great!

  Never mind, you just have to use the SPDIF as the audio output. Easy fix. :)
