Well, my old 28" Matsui widescreen has finally bitten the dust after about 10 years good service. So we need a replacement, and a bigger one too - we've got a much larger living room these days.
We reckon 37" to 42" is about right - 42" might be a bit big, but there's a lot of choice at that size.
Requirements are actually quite low. It doesn't need to have a DVB tuner at all and in theory it doesn't need to be HD Ready - it won't have an HD source until my TiVo explodes and I'm forced to move to Sky HD.
LCD slightly preferred over plasma, but not by enough to make a difference if the price was right!
I see Argos are currently doing a Wharfedale 42" LCD for £699 (LCD42720HDF) - that's pretty much the kind of price range we'd like, but it does seem a little too good to be true... anyone seen one in the flesh?
Anyone got any advice? What brands should I be looking at, and where can the bargains be found? And is it worth hanging on until the January sales start?
