Looking for a little advice from anyone out there who has some experience of the above topic
I am intending to get a new TV for using for the PS2. It will be used primarily for the PS2 and for viewing DVDs the rest of the time. My questions are whether to go for a FST screen over a normal one ( is there much of a difference )?, using a RGB scart with a normal / FST how much benefit is there? And finally is it better to go for a Nicam TV or is it better to get a standalone surround sound set with a mono TV.
PS anyone know whether the PS2 surround sound set on SR is any good or do you know any other decent makes around the fifty quid mark?
If any of you could help it would be much appreciated

Just to clarify
When connecting to a surround sound set does the output come from the PS2 or the TV before going into the surround sound set?
What I meant with the RGB scart is whether there is a notable benefit using this over a standard scart socket
My preferred budget is around £ 200 with £ 50 for the surround sound kit. The TV only needs to be 20 > 25 inches max. Would you recomend a dolby TV over a nicam with a cheapish surround sound set?
Thanks for the help mate

OK I'll try...
>My questions are whether to go for a FST screen over a normal one ( is there much of a difference )?
FST stands for Flat Screen television... which basically means it has a flat screen instead of a curved one. On cheap models you get some disortion in the corners on the picture but these days they tend to be OK.
>using a RGB scart with a normal / FST how much benefit is there?
None... SCART is a standard there is no difference between SCART on an expensive FST and SCART on your cheap 14" portable!!
>And finally is it better to go for a Nicam TV or is it better to get a standalone surround sound set with a mono TV.
Mono, means MONO!! sound from one channel!! Plugging it into a Surround Sound will make no difference!! Nicam is the best option... true stereo sound from your TV, plau this into a Surround Sound Stereo and hey presto - Surround sound!!
So what you should get ideally is an FST with Nicam... What's your budget? I know of a really good widescreen set for £349.00 with Dolby!!
Hope that helped
