any one got any suggestions or ideas for bargains?
I know naff all, any advice appreciated...!
Around the £500 mark!!

Wooders, Doug.ie?

wooders is main brain on this...{grim may know his stuff on this too}

i'll just add a little opinion...i have seen a good few lg tv's on my travels lately and have been impressed every time...i think they wont be as much as a panasonic / pioneer etc of the same spec...i really like the look of this one...although slightly over your budget...

everyone i've spoke to today has said Samsung or LG ...!!

How big?

Steve W

dont care really.. although the mrs would like a big one!!!

yeah..she told me that.

seriously though...you must have some idea of size bev ?.....i think 40-42 is a great size for an average living room...its a big screen, but i have seen 50" in average living rooms and they just look too big, in an average sized room i think you are too close to a screen that size....although down at 32" the picture will seem sharper....that right steve ?

ok, 40-42 will do, although i'd be happy with a 37 if it was a bargain..
its a mine field to me, whats with all the different stuff on them...
I want a TV, thats all to watch TV, perhaps the odd games system night when folk are round, I guess sky HD will follow later on, but not immediately. Not overly into movies, just the usual tv shite and sport !!
take these 2.. why the massive difference in price, would I notice the difference in picture?

samsung looks great for that price...

this is a good lg for 599 - 5293764

steve ??

but £200 more... would I notice the difference in the samsungs?

well...i have a smasung 42" plasma...but its kinda not worth my while talking to you about it...because its an older model now and wont be like what you'll buy.

yeah...samsungs i like...and like i say i have been very impressed with every lg i have seen recently...
i suppose its what you are seeing on it though...i mentioned a while back about being in a sony store in galway and they had a dvd playing through a coax cable, each telly looked shockingly bad, as you would expect....but i bet if they all had blue ray going through hdmi i may have been impressed with some of them.

its not so much what you want it for now...its what you'll potenially want it for in 3 years...get full hd, cause when blue rays are more commonplace than they are now...you dont want to be looking at your mates telly looking better than yours.....but that samsung is full hd anyway.

again....steve ??

aye, where is wooders...

not as if he's got much on of late is it!!!

I'd strongly recommend going for a plasma over an LCD.

Try this:

A bit more pricey than you wanted, but the biggest bargain on the market at the moment is the LG 50PS8000. It's a 50", Full HD plasma and you can pick it up for under a grand, which is astonishing. Sadly, I don't think they're doing a 42" version at the moment.

I don't know if this would be any good, but i got this booklet through today and it sells a few tv's. www.cpc.co.uk
They've got a LG 42" LCD HD ready with freeview for £465 and an Azuki 42" LCD HD ready with freeview and built in dvd player for £325 i haven't checked them out myself but i thought it might be worth you having a look.
