    What size, functions and price limit have you got?

    Are there any makes you want or don't want?

          You got it in one Shaun m8, its a class shop m8, they had a Panasonic and a Samsung 50 " for ?800 each.

          you still get your full warranty my, 12 months.

          Have a look in mate you will get a surprise at how cheap the Electrical stuff is.

          i mounted mine on the wall in the bedroom, see pic. I just need a piece of trunking to tidy the wires up , and i will paint the trunking same colour as the walls.

                            I got a DGM LTV-3203, or something to that effect i'd have to check on the back of it , 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 )

                              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.
