oh mr insurance man if your reading this im lying,it blew up cost me 3000

[shortyball]

hannspree alot places have them.

i think a new one is out now ebuer normally have them but if you shop around.
i think the new on is 37in ?350 ish but they are great tv's. plenty ports etc for all your stuff, 2xhdmi which is console good.

[MONKey]

I got a DGM LTV-3203, or something to that effect i'd have to check on the back of it lol, as a cheap High Def screen for my 360 about a year ago now.

Cost me ?350 back then so should be able to get one much cheaper than that now, with built in free-view as the model I got didn't have it built in (My DreamBox fills that slot anyways so would of been useless to me lol)

:)

[babycakes]

I recommend always buying a big established brand such as Panasonic, Sony or Toshiba.

With LCD, you really do get what you pay for, so be prepared to pay a little more than to get better picture quality.

[MONKey]

Absolutley no probs with mine m8 ;)

Bought it as a cheap screen but well impressed with it. It even does 1080P!

My mate paid a fortune for a Samsung one at the time and even he said the picture quality was far better than his.

Came with 3 - 5 years warranty too, can't remember which though lol

[Tizzer22]

I have a LG 32" in the bedroom and a 50" plasma in the living room, i like my LG's. lol

[hammered]

Hi if you have access to a Makro card 37 " sony ?400.00 + vat with free view etc worth a go:0

Bought a 32 inch hanspree off ebuyer for 299 plus free delivery,decent enough tv for the cash but the picture can be very dark at times maybe not the best choice as a main room tv.

Hi guys,

Im planning to buy a new lcd tv...

Find interesting article at http://www.testfreaks.co.uk/tvs/ about which TV should you buy:

Even though the basic purpose of a TV set is entertainment, a lot depends on the quality and features you desire. Hence, you should be sure about the same before choosing a particular one. In the past 10 years or so, the TV sets have seen rapid development and today?s TV comes with a wide screen that is flat as well. The picture quality may be HD or even Full HD. The TV sets can even be combined with the music systems to provide you with a complete entertainment. The wide variety of technical choices available often tends to be confusing to the common man. There is a choice between the projector and back projector sets as well.

Among the screen types there are the LCD and the Plasma ones. Due to rapid development in the LCD type, both offer quite similar picture quality. But, in case you intend to buy a very large screen indeed such as the one greater than 40 inches or so, a Plasma screen is often preferable. The choice between HD and Full HD sets becomes clearer when factors such as the viewing distance and point are taken into account. For example, a Full HD is required in case you intend to view a very large screen from a comparatively small distance. But if the viewing distance is large enough, such specifications cease to matter. A Full HD offers better quality in case you desire to connect the TV set with a gaming console or computer etc.

The performance of the TV set in daylight always remains in doubt and the same should be checked thoroughly when opting for a particular set. Some TV sets nowadays come with light sensors that adjust the brightness and contrast depending on the ambient light. This proves to be important in a room that has frequent light variations.

The TV sets can be roughly classified into the following categories:

? The TV set with standard features. It often has the HD functionality are generally worth the price you pay for them. But, they often lack the latest technologies and hence may not be compatible with the other latest devices.
? The movie or home theatres that offer you the experience of a movie hall while sitting at home. They can be connected to a variety of devices such as a recorder, or a DVD player.
? The various components are even available separately for those desiring to construct their own TV set. They may support different modes such as projectors and screens. They can even be connected to the computer and be used in place of the regular monitor.

Thus, once your needs are decided, you should review all the models of your choice carefully and only then decide which one to opt for. The most important consideration of course being the picture quality that the set offers. If you face problems such as lack of space etc. flat screens are the solution for you as they even offer a great manoeuvrability.

bosse, or toshiba, or sony and others, but i think bose&toshiba are the best
