Best low price 1080p HD TV
« on: 19 February 2009, 13:36:03 »
I know this has been discussed before, but search let me down, and technology moves on, so here goes again.

I am looking at getting a 32" full HD (1080p) LCD TV.  Don't want to pay silly money, but equally don't want to buy crap!

Anyone recently got a good deal on one they are happy with?

Cheers

Dabs and Aria keep offering interesting deals.  Maybe worth keeping an eye on them.

If Sainsburys take the same approach as Tesco's on tv/hifi/etc, be careful as it maybe discontinued stock.....I checked out a few 'good offers' from tesco's a while ago....albiet was Sony TV's, checked Sonys website for specs etc and found them all discontinued!

Hence why the likes of Tesco's, maybe other supermarkets can sell them apparently cheaper....

Yeah but i believe regardless of if its discontinued its still got a usable life expectancy.....the actual wording escapes me but basically even after a year or two it breaks down the manufacturer is still liable.

Defo wouldn't go for 32 , minimum 37", Ideal is 40" for a medium size room.

I also disagree with the comment out samsung being unreliable etc.

I love my M87, And my old man just bought a new Sony Bravia with better spec than mine and I still think the samsung looks better quality!
