Thanks everyone

I think overall on balance it will have to be an LCD. I want to spend less than a £1000 and I want it to be 40-50" any bigger won't fit in the room.

So which model in the LCD range can you recommend?

Thanks Dusty

this is interesting - me and the missus nearly bought a 42" Samsung HD plasma the other day - £500


Now - I know its not FULL HD (1080), and I've heard a lot about "screen burn" on plasmas

but its £500!!!! with a free 5yr warranty!!!

and tbh would you notice the difference between Full HD and Hd ready?

Yes, you notice the difference as the contrast is not so good.

Its very hard to make true HD plasma sets at below 50inch and hence they are harder to find.

aaah okey doke - i'm always a bit wary of buying cutting edge tech - maybe i'll buy the £500 samsung and wait for full HD to come down in price in a few years - then stick the 42" in the "games room"

To be honest, you would be better placed getting a 40 inch true HD LCD........

Price up a KDL40W4000 - well worth auditioning

[theolodian]

I have been lusting after the new Samsung series 6.  It is about 800 for a 40".  I don't have room though, can only fit a 37".

That's cheap - normally just over 1000

I have seen SVW and X all fed same source and S & V were not as good as W & X, and X is a lot more money

I notice Beyond Television are on that list as one of the cheapest.  Avoid them like the plague.
