In the Market for a new tele! - Page 2

oo great. this saves me making a thread!

my mum was on about getting a new tv (and sky HD) in January.

how common is FreeSat HD nowadays? i've not looked at any TVs in a long time but if we're looking to go HD properly, might as well look at the freesat HD options i guess :/
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-TX...9287249&sr=1-4 looks pretty good

hows freesat HD work btw? is it worth bothering with if you've got sky as it obviously needs a dish, and we'd only have the sky dish?

however... just found this;

seems like a ridiculously cheap deal

The LG is cheap because it has input lag issues and is a 2008 screen.

It is actually the same screen as the 37LG5000 which you should find more info on.

Personally I wouldn't pay £380 on a 2008 screen.

ohh now a samsung LED tele looks amazing... but £700 for 32" is pretty steep for me

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've heard a few bad reviews on the LG screens too. I'm waiting for everyone to bring out their LED backlit models as grey blacks on TV is a real pet hate.

Was I the only one who opening this thread and was expecting it to be about guitars

leowyatt · 01-12-2009, 10:02

I'd say yes Chuckles, I didn't even know there was a brand/model of guitar called tele

Modern LG screens are actually pretty good, especially the HD ones - I have a 2009 model one, full 1080 and 3 HDMI inputs as well as RGB inputs, and I think SPW would agree it's pretty damn good. Even colour balance, no patchy or dark areas, black contrast ratio is good.

Other TVs worth looking at are Samsung and Panasonic. Avoid Sony as they're way over priced.
