I think you are right..

Even the 1080s have dropped quite considerably recently. I have my eye on the Philips which is around £900 at the moment from John Lewis, who give a 5 year warrantee for free.

I wa looking at the LG the other day in currys. I'm a bit confussed why it says WS option - No???

LG 1080

edit - link fixed

you need to fix the link huddy, it's got an extra http://www at the front.

I think the WS option says no becuase it is WS and will only display stuff in widescreen??

Not if you've already got a receiver - besides it gives you more flexibility this way

Well we plan to have;

V+ box => HDMI
360 => Component - might stick this on the spare HDMI
DVD Recorder => Scart - might use component for this

Wii => Scart/S-Video
iBook => VGA
