Hello.

Our old Hitachi w/s TV has given up after 7 years so time to look for a new one. Where to start? Budget will be under £500, would like 3 scarts but 2 would do at a push. Camcorder phonos & s-VHS type connector(?) also useful, and ideally with easy access - not round the back...
Already have Sky DSAT so no need for a digital or even analogue tuner - we don't have an aerial. Not worried either about surround sound / Dolby etc, as long as there are phono outs to the hi-fi for stereo.
Would prefer flat screen & the best picture possible for this sort of budget. All the bells, whistles and peripheral stuff is unnecessary and unwanted tho. Why pay for stuff we don't need?

So a good w/s picture, 28 - 32"" screen, with 3 scarts. And black, not silver if poss. Any suggestions gratefully received

I would fully recomend Sony. They are by Far the best quaility TV's i have used.

Quiet and quick turn on, and outstanding picture quailty.

For this Price you will only get a 28" which is fine.

The two models at currys are

Model - SONY KV28LS36U
Product Code - 940336 for £399

OR



Model - SONY KV28CS70U
Product Code - 733854 For £519.


Of course you may find them cheaper online, and these are "Currys online prices" But these are the tellys i think you should look at,.

You can save some £££££ by buying online, but u should go to currys or dixons etc so see the telly in real life, check it looks good to you, as it should be with you for a good few years

If you watch sport, don't go for a 100 Hz TV, as they players tend to ghost, a friend of mine had the misfortune of buying one. Stick with a standard 50 Hz.
