Default New TV Recommendations Please!

My bloody tv just blew up, it's seen a few years service so I'm not too upset.

It is a 32" JVC flat screen crt thing, still not the end of the world I have our old Beko £99 21" TV.

Just plugged it in and it feels like I need binoculars to view it, has now control and no manual tune, so sky can't be tuned so it is just channels 1-5.

Therefore I need a new tv, any ideas?

With Xmas and my little boys birthday coming keeping cost down would be good, but it want it to last!!

Also 0% finance would be great!

Try the LG 32PG6000. 32" plasma screen for a bargain price (can be had for £450 though I got mine for £550 with a tilting wall mount and a 5 year guarantee from Richer Sounds). Both myself and Viney have one and I've not got a bad word for mine!!

Regards

Might find this useful if you are interested http://www.cnet.com/1990-7874_1-5137915-1.html

However what I would say - which the article agrees with - is just get something with HD ability in one form or another, and you'll be fine.

£350 seems quite good, we just paid £450 for a 32" from Sonex in Debenhams' Oxford Street store. I think they keep the latest models though, £350 for a Sony sounds like a slightly older model (which means nothing, really!).

Another good one is the Sony 32W4000 from Richer Sounds. Cheap but does the biz if a wanted an LCD instead.

Richer sounds have a few decent ones around the £350 mark too, not sure I really am that worried about full hd 1080p really. Not sure they are ready to release Ben10 or Peppa Pig in HD for now anyway.

Muffles - can't put my own bike on there, it is too shiny for the camera to take a picture of!!!

That's why you had to cover it up in those pictures of your driveway, right?

They're lying barstewards in the description of the Sony, "The BRAVIA KDL-46V4000 includes 1080p HD resolution". No it doesn't. It's 720p.

I don't like Sony TVs anyway. I've got a brand new Bravia here at work and am not very impressed.
