Just some quick advice. I want to move up to a 42" HDTV. Now i'm faced with a few dilemmas.
I could get a no-name HDTV, 42" with 1080p support but only 4800:1 contrast ratio. It's LCD. For £450.
Or I could get a brand name one about £500, non-1080p, but with 15,000:1 contrast ratio. What sounds like the better bet?

£30 more than the Samsung.
Full 1080p HD, 24fps and it's a Sony. Plus .... free 5 year guarantee as it's from John Lewis .... which would cost you far more than £30 extra.
The Samsung is OK. I also woulnd't touch the Mirai with a shitty stick ..... the Sony is an excellent deal from an excellent retailer.

Hope i've made the right decision.
