wait untill after chrismas defo then have a look down the normal electrical stores: currys comet etc.

but you could get a nice Philips, Samsung or LG LCD for that price in about 32" or alternatively pay another couple of hundred and get a package like Curry's do that includes home entertainment kit (suroround sound), a glass stand and sometimes dvd player.

just have a snoop round after chrimbo or even before so you can get a feel for the prices mate

generally speaking £1.2k will get you an awesome system but be careful if you want an LCD wall mounted Curry's charge £300 for fitting inc. the mount!!!

Can be found for under £1000 more like around £890-940 ish! Awesome set and a good comprmise between 42 and 32"

Or for under a Grand you can get the Goodmans 1080P 42" Plasma like Mcbunny there is a thread on it!

He is going to be running a Naim system so I dont think a cheap Surround Sound is much point

Do you think prices will drop quite a bit after xmas? I am moving in Feb and want a HDTV for when I move in so would it be a lot cheaper to buy after xmas?

dumb q but do i go lcd or plasma?

its gonna be in the main lounge i have a s**t load of audio stuff in the loft waiting to be used i wont need a "package" my naim av amp is playing up so it needs to be fixed but looking at 400-800 quid i think (its worth about 6-7k so thats fairly cheap) and have some tag mclarren speakers... so just need to sort out the screen...

parents said if i choose one and pay half they will pay the rest and get sky hd etc so just need a good screen not sure weather to get lcd or plasma though...

More money than sense James

they reckon up to about32/37 to go for lcd, anything above that to go for plasma.

however i have a 46 inch bravia and its an lcd and the picture is spot on......

have a look in http://www.avforums.com/ for some info.

and i found www.digitaldirect.co.uk is probably one of the cheapest places to buy a tv even after paying for delivery.

you can get a nice pioneer plasma but they are 1.8k

Sony W series are excellent have 2 HDMI ports instead of the one in the V series. X series are gorgeous but too expensive.

Generally, they say that LCD does not match the colours of a plasma, however i dont agree with this.

LCD does not suffer from screen burn, so good for PC XBOX WII whatever.

Make sure it has a VGA input (pc input) you might want to hook it up sometime.

Really all depends on what you like the look off the most, buy what hi fi mag. its got everything there.
