Looking for reasonable HD TV.

Havelock Vetinari · 08-04-2007, 16:11

I am looking to get a HD TV shortly as I have some inheritance coming to me. I have a budget of between £500 and £650.
MY OH would rather it was towards the lower end of the budget, but myself would rather try and push it to the higher end. Not bothered about builtin freeview as I have cable.

I have no idea when the cash will arrive, so special weekend deals are out of the question. I would just like some views on good HD TV's that are out there within the budget range, I realise it's not a pariculary good price range, but I don't want to blow everything on a TV.

Prefrably 28" upwards. I certainly don't want anything 26" or under.

32" then, you can get an awesome branded set for that!

Havelock Vetinari · 08-04-2007, 17:55

I'd like a 32" but will I get a semi-decent one for the budget?

iDan · 08-04-2007, 18:17

Easily, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG and Samsung are all worth considering and are available in your price range!

Cheers Telly Man. Now to do some googling to see what the reviews come out with.

Just doing a quick check on the comet site. What features should I be looking for the TV to have to make it worthwhile?

If I remember I think one is 1080 resolution, or am I off track with that?
It will be linked up to a 5.1 surround sound system.
