Bravia? Is that Sony Bravia?

 

[Adamhodg]

Samsung LCD's are Nice.
My Gparents have a 37" LCD its cool!

Sony Bravia, must of seen the recent adverts.

Colored balls rolling down a San Fransisco street, colored paint exploding against a tower block?

This one (but not bought from Sony !)
LCD product of the year, according to 4 mags its the only 40" LCD thats as good as a Plasma
Supports 1080p input as well

When you say 'not bought from Sony'... where did you buy it if I may ask you?

 

[M1TCH]

^ I'd prefer the X series model though... Sony KDL-40X2000 40" LCD

nice glass surround, makes it look bigger than it is, and with HD source it looks great!!

GR7 - really depends on their budget, if they have one.

^ sorry, haven't got one but helped a family member get one (am looking after xmas for myself), think they got it from either digitaldirect or prcdirect approx £1500 inc vat, however with 5yrs warranty and a nice glass stand your looking at circa £2k all in

The Toshiba 42WLT66 is also a good set and cramptonandmoore in sheffield are selling Toshiba LCDs with free genuine matching stand and there 5yr warranty is a damn good price, not sure if Tosh does 1080p though

£1470 inc stand, 5yr warranty all inc vat

so you recommend being an early adopter of 1080p but not of HD-DVD then...........

 

[rich[182]]

1080p is tried and tested and proven to give absolute best picture, personally I think 720p is better than 1080i so if your spending over a grand on a new LCD you plan to keep for 4-5 years etc then can't see point in getting one that wont do 1080p, only my opinion though, progressive better than interlaced every time

 

[M1TCH]

heres the bravia I've seen running sky hd.

paid £2k for the tv and stand I think. the media centre is another £1k and the amp receiver think 3-400.

 

[BenWall]

amp 3k lol i want i want

 

[GR7]

The TV we have at the moment is a Sony and as it's less than two years old and nothing wrong with it, I don't know why we need another! :S Loads of surround sound speakers too so wouldn't need to buy any more of those.. and thanks for your help people.

I've got a Sony KDL32U2000U 32inch LCD TV coming tomorrow, got it for £659.00
