How to judge a tv
Daphne*
02-12-2007
I am looking to buy myself a new TV, a lcd one I wonder if there is some way of measuring if one tv is better than another or are they all essentially the same. Is it just price/colour/brand that I should be choosing by?

Also I dont know if this can be answered here, but I recently bought a pvr and I wonder if I got a tv with built in freeview (they all seem to come with this now) whether the two would conflict.

No, they aren't all the same, with cheap ones having really abysmal pictures - you need to go and see for yourself, and decide what YOU like.

Top brands to look at would include Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, Samsung, Toshiba.

No, it's exacty the same as now, with a VCR having a tuner just as your TV does - any decent make will include a digital tuner, as will most of the cheap makes now.
