HD ready LCD T.V's

[Bluebeard]

Im absolutely cluless when it come to this sort of this thing.

I want a 37 inch TV for my living room, HD ready LCD type thing, don't really want to spend any more than about £600.

Ideally i'd want a swivelling wall mount bracket aswell but i have an extra budget for this.

Any ideas? or webistes?? What sort of stuff should i avoid?

Thanks.

Samsung are good, as are Panisonic. Id avoid LG.

Have a look in a local Currys/Comet or something, make a note of the model number and then find it online cheaper!

AVForums are a good place for reviews etc, although they are extremely anal about it all and pick up the tiniest fault.

I bought from this company http://www.soundandvisiononline.com...&pcid=62,77,131,135,136,137,138,230&sizeid=37

Prices and offers were good, even offered 12 months interest free if ordered by phone.

Samsung LE37R87BDX available for £623.90

I think I just bought the 32" version of that Samsung. I had a 26" before that I paid £550 for 2 years ago and just bought the 32" one off of Amazon for £499 (think you could get it £20 cheaper elsewhere but I trust them) and I have to say it is brilliant for a budget LCD. A noticeable improvement over my old 26" so long as you turn off the Movie Plus thing that messes up the picture.

If the 37" is the same only bigger then go for it. I am not into how the TV looks as a piece of furniture but I have to admit it does look nice...although a pain with dust.

Complete opposite to me then. I'm only buying it to look nice in the front room. I probably watch about 2 hours TV a week, tops and i'm not into films at all.

''Movie plus thing'' that messes up the picture? care to Elaborate??

I got the smaller version model of that samsung one , its the dogs danglies!

Your buying it as a piece of furniture?!?! Why not just get a decent fish tank instead?!?!?!?:rasp: Well anyway it does the job as a good piece of furniture as it is a glossy black and all curved etc.

I had movie plus on a Philips CRT a few years back. It smooths out the frame rate of video footage. It is hard to explain it but it is quite amazing when it works properly. You can see footage on TV from the trenches in WW1 for example and instead of being all jerky it looks like it was filmed yesterday. Very good for movies in particular as they seem to be a lower frame rate than normal TV footage.

Unfortunately on the Samsung LCD it doesn't work as well and you get the screen kind of tearing and jaggies etc. So just turn it off. Most people have never seen it working properly on a CRT so they won't miss it.

My mrs choice, not mine. I'd rather spend the dough on something else. Hell, i was happy with the 14" tv/vcr combo in the spare room!!

T.Vs just dont interest me at all!

Samsung might be what your after then. Nice modern frames and share many components with the Sony range...

Rear projection are pretty pants...

We have a 40" Sony LCD and doesn't look too big, and our lounge isn't that large. Because they are so slim you can have them flush against the wall almost so less imposing than cathode TVs.

The 40" Samsung LE40R74BDX is available from www.rgbdirect.co.uk for £629[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]

i'm looking at this not really heard anything about the make though

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=125720

but £400 for a 37" tv is rather good

 

[KyleB]

ive got the 32" version of that hannspree 37" television and its great for my xbox 360 in my bedroom.

havent run anything else through it, eg Sky, so cant comment on that.

 

[BooSH]

This is also cheap, i've got the 27" version, and it's spot on for the price

Avoid LG why exactly?
