http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx...1229,392020000

so basically want a 32" for no more that £500...

im heading towards the samsung as i have seen them and they are very good quality, but i know that philips are fairly good too.

the phillips is in asda because we have lots of asda vouchers, but id be quite happy to use them on groceries and put the cash to the samsung if its significantly better?

Cheers All

Its 37" for £375. Its an amazing TV for the money, Id deffo recomend one.

there is a 30" version, they seem to be otu of stock but when its in they usually sells for about £300, if you want to hold on and wait for that.

Kind of a shame everyone got so carried away with LCD, really, I got my big CRT for about half your budget and it's got a better picture than any LCD I've seen in this price range... There's no end of LCDs that are "HD" but still can't deal with black, so you get very hi-rez rubbish pictures.

Hannspree make good monitors, as do LG, the newer Samsung ones are pretty nice too- what works in monitors tends to work in TVs. Panasonic used to be great for CRT but I've not been very convinced by their LCDs.

Agreed I've still not seen an LCD / Plasma TV that has a better picture than my 28" JVC CRT that I bought a few years back.

The only ones that come close are the hideously expensive LCD ones.

Iv found this...

http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/...LAID=125731064

its a 32" version, I used to deal in bussiness with misco and i ordered 2 of the 37" hanaspree units for some care homes, they were good i have to say.

As for CRT i would but the size doesnt allow, and i cant find a supplier anymore.

If im honest i dont have a 360 or playstation 3 neither do i yet have HD tv.. so even if the picture isnt the best im not bothered i will have save £180!

cheers

Yep ive got a 42" philips plasma, not too happy with the blacks when there are complete dark scenes, but at least its equal around the screen unlike LCDs, aparently plasmas have to precharge the gasses in the cells and it apears as a dark grey. Mine is only 720p but will accept a 1080i input if needed, not as if i have a HD DVD or SKY HD or anything else HD, just simple freeview.

When watching during the day you dont notice it, only when the room is dark.

I did have someone see the picture and they thought it was HD signal, which it was not.

Plasma does not display the mpeg artifacts as much as LCDs do, the screen is realy bright and movment is realy realy quick without bluring.

I generaly think its better than most LCDs.

Only cost £650 from JL with delivery and 5yr warranty.
