In the Market for a new tele!

Pickers · 26-11-2009, 21:39

Evening peeps,
Moving into a new flat soon, I'm in the market for a new tele. I dont have a huge sum of money devoted to this, but want something that is going to last...

I have seen this: http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/stor...&category_oid=
Which seems reasonable, and is also availble in 32" option at £375. What are people's opinion on toshiba?
Looking for full HD, reliable, good range of connections and (possibly) up to 37" as much as possible below £500. What advice can the good peeps of BD give me?
Muchos thanks in anticipations!
Moi.

Which I love - bit over what you are looking to spend though I think

A similar (but 40" screen) is £549 at Currys - Tempting!

Acutally, looking around, the LG 37LH3000 looks kinda tempting (tho it is LG which I know some people on here say to avoid)

I found it a lot of hard work finding a good LCD tv. The model numbers are absolutely key, just one letter difference in the tv name does make the difference between a good and crap screen.

I really like the Toshiba Regza range and managed to get a full 1080p 37" screen for £370 a few months back.

Do have a read around on avforums and have a good shifty in the threads with loads of replies, it's normally a sign for a tv to look out for.

If you are going to buy, get it done before Brown and chums whack another 2.5% on.

I've got a 37" LG HD tv with free view and HDMI connections - beautiful screen, got it for Around £400 6 months or so ago. But I managed to wangle a deal with the salesman who knocked off close to £100 off the price.
