HD LCD TV HELP!

[RickyP]

I am looking at getting a HD for my bedroom to set my 360 up on it. Any suggestions what ones to go for. I am on a budget on £300-£500 and would like it to be no bigger than 26 inch.
Cheers.

£500 is a VERY good budget for a "mere" 26" LCD these days..

Cheers for that. Yeah I dont really want anything bigger in my bedroom but my mate managed to pick up a 32inch 1080p LG for £500 the other day. Isn't 32inch the smallest size they make the 1080p hd tv's in?

You have to remember that 1080P (1920*1080 pixels) is a hell of a lot of pixels overall and in anything less that a 37" screen you'll be very hard pushed to spot any significant difference over 720P.

I'd go for a compromise and get the best 32" screen you can for your budget. There's nothing worse than buying a screen and a few weeks later wishing you'd spent that little bit extra on something larger.

 

[RickyP]

So just off the top of your head before I look in detail tomorrow, you recommend 32 inch. What make would you suggest to look at?

Samsung - http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/conte...87BDX~dept~ctv~subdept~LCDTV~make~Samsung.htm

Toshiba - http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/conte...035DB~dept~ctv~subdept~LCDTV~make~Toshiba.htm

Ive just become the owner of a R88 Samsung 26" from Dixons online for a tidy sum of £440 delivered...Most of the screens out there only have 1 hdmi, were as this has 2. Crisp quality too, from my HD laptop and PS3.

I've got that samsung from empire direct and its really good.

It has the what hi-fi recommendation as well....

so if 1900*1080 is HD. Does that mean my 1900*1200 laptop is better than HD?

 

[dunganick]

panasonic lxd70

or

sony d3000

unfortunatly both the above tv's are at least £700+

So the sony 32s3000 would stilll be fine or the panasonic lmd70


The samsung's sound isnt amazing but the toshiba is nice.

Money no object deffinatly the sony 32"d3000, i believe on amazon you can pick them up for £620

I forgot to add, those Xbox/Playstation stands in stores like PC World, use the Samsung 23/26 screen

i bought my samsung 40 in hd lcd for 607 quid delivered last week .....bargain .

google the model you require for the cheapest deals around .

or what ever else they feel like using

the samsung is a nice screen, still have gripes about sound quality though, but for 23" i dont think it can be beaten.

26" is the panasonic lxd70

32" the sony 32"d3000

37" panasonic (forget model number, but the plasma 70 series, or 700 is money allows)

40" the sony w3000

above this, panasonic or pionner all the way.
