Good luck I find it hard to recommend the sony bravias. The picture just isnt impressive for what they cost (£600 for a 26" ??). Get the Toshiba or a samsung R7 model. -Chris |

For the true quality your are expecting to get, I can only point you towards the SHARP XD1 (eg, LC-37XD1E). Its got "FullHD" technology, which includes the next step up in screen resolution of 1,920x1,080), as well as the ability to display the newer 1080p image format (output from BlueRay players and PS3). Also offers 2 HDMI input sockets, and extra technology to make SD pictures look as they can do.
I would still strongly recommend a HighDef box as well though, such as a SkyHD box or a Freetoair HighDef satellite decoder (eg, Humax). Dave |

Cheers Dave so a HD ready would be better than a full on HD set?

We just got a Sony Bravia 46" HD LCD and it's fantastic without even having HD. We love it.

The new generation of Sony Bravia LCD's are far superior to the previous generation so you might find different views on Sony LCDs depending on which models they are talking about.
I recently bought a 40" Bravia (KDL-40W2000) and it's great. This model was Which Hi-Fi's TV of the year in 2006. |

SD viewing
Following on from the above, I'd like a new TV to replace an old 32" CRT. Planning for 37" or 42" tops.
I have no plans to use any HD source in the foreseeable future (and when I do, the relevant TVs will have increased spec and lower prices, so no need to be future-proof). What would be the best flat screen for viewing SD pictures, given that SD on an HD TV can look sad? Should I go for LCD or plasma? Would a (much cheaper) non-HD TV be better than HD ready or full HD? Thanks, William |
