tv buying advice needed

[Welsh Dan]

they can tailor a tv to a market with a simple software change.. i bet french tellies start up in the correct language... if the makers know whats good for them, they will...
but they still over complicate them by making them capable of 30 odd languages when they only need 1 per tv.... and welsh isn't a real language, its just a way of annoying people from england

Da iawn.

On a side note, pixmania.co.uk are pretty good pricewise, and if you order delivery and setup its Currys that come out to do it (?). Our local Tesco had some Sony 32" 1080p ones on offer for £250 yesterday too.

I bought a 32" LG lcd tv last week on some special offer at my local argos because they had a refurb, only cost me 200 which is pretty good ( I think ) I, also like you, haven't the faintest clue when it comes to tvs

sony here, not had a problem in the 3 odd years ive had it

[Riggy]

although i have a 50" samsung , ill never have another, after it killing itself after 3 years and 1 day , (3 year warrenty )

i spoke to a lot of repair men , av forums etc etc each one has said that yes samsungs look the dogs bollocks etc , but they use the cheapest componants possible ,

ive been told the best one to buy is a panasonic , so i may look at them next after i get my current samsung fixed

Had a Sharp last time which lasted 4 years of heavy use. Now got a Samsung which is a cracking tele.

Dont buy cheap supermarket makes because the difference is very noticeable IMO.
I used to have a "asda" 32" lcd, and whilst it did the job fine and never broke down, side by side with my brothers Samsung just showed where the cuts were made to make it a cheap tv! The picture on mine was just lacking something, as was the sound (although that doesnt matter to me as i use a standalone amp), but its worth bearing in mind for most "normal" households.

Sony/Panasonic/Samsung is where to be looking.
RicherSounds are usually spot on, price wise.

Think I might have to go for a Samsung is it worth buying one from new to get the warranty or not can they be fixed easily, a quick look about shows they do look nice also is there any advantages/disadvantages between 32 or 34" or is other just a personal preference size wise


Cheers for all the comment so far guys its a big help

Never really heard of a 34" lcd.

Usually 32" or 36/37" are the available options in the 30-40" market.

Its personal preference/room size.

Had a Samsung lasted 3 year needed a new screen (no way) have a Sony now well smart.
Any way just go to your local pub I'm sure there are plenty of new in the box TV's to be had just now in England as most of the big retailers are low on stocks for the time being.
