I'm soon to be in the market for a new TV - something in a 32" or larger with HDMI. We're on a budget, so looking at prices below £400 and from retailers that offer Interest Free Credit or Buy No, Pay Later schemes (which rules out most online stores).

I've compiled a list of possibles - anyone got any opinions on the following TVs?

Argos:
Philips 32PFL5522D - 529/2954 - £342.59
Samsung LE32R87BDX - 087/0443 - £342.59
Samsung LE32S86BDX/XEU - 529/2961 - £342.59
Toshiba 32AV504 - 087/0962 - £371.86

Currys:
TOSHIBA 32AV555AV - 400411 - £362.10
Samsung LE32A456C - 725233 - £390.50
TOSHIBA 37AV505D - 492076 - £391.46

Comet:
TOSHIBA 32AV555DB - 499676 - £362.12
SAMSUNG LE32A457C1DXXU - 446351 - £391.48

John Lewis:
Samsung LE32A457 - 82432013 - £390 (free 5 year guarantee, but may not do IFC)

Cheers!

I qualified for buy now pay 9 months later online finance when I upgraded my PC from Dabs, got about £800. Very simple online form, think they tell you instantly whether you have been accepted then send you a form to sign.

No interest and cheaper prices than the high street. They sell TV'S.

Dabs was an early choice - unfortunately they're currently only offering finance on purchases over £400, which is outside out budget...
I had considered eBuyer as well, but they charge £29 for the priviledge...

The Samsung A456/7 series seems to be highly rated over on AVforums and is better than the R8 or S8 models.

The Sony Bravia Sony KDL-32V4000 is also popular choice for around £400, available from Dixons for £395 if they have the finance options you're after/ can get local Currys to price match...
