It's all pretty much been said but to try and simplify it - If you're buying a 32", HD ready is fine. Unless you're using the TV as a PC monitor as well then you'll struggle to tell the difference. Any larger than that and Full HD 1080p is the way to go.

I'd also second BluePete's advice about AV forums. The tech debates can get a bit anal on there but lots of good info otherwise.

Buy a screen size that fits the room. If you go too big, you end up with a poor picture. All Pannels have an optimum viewing distance and this MUST be taken into account.

Im still not convinced with HD. Its still not really taken off imho, not as big as people would like and not everything is actually filmed in HD, therefore its digitaly enhanced! So, yes, by all means get a HD pannel (Hard not to nowadays) but dont worry about all the HD services yet. (Thats a personal opinion)

I just bought an LG Plasma. Its only a baby 32" and i bought a new Sony upscaling DVD player and to be honest, its all you really need depending on what you are going to watch. Just dont get a huge screen if you have a small room. Most modern houses need no bigger than a 37" screen imho.

I thought you was off to Oz Shell, no time to be buying big telly and stuff - have you changed your mind?

Re: Television advice
 

Tesco's are doing a 37" for £349.99, and the 42" for £399.99. I don't know about the resolutions on them, but what a bargain either way!

On the subject of good telly, Sainsburys have a 40" Sony 1080P telly for £599.99 at the moment, which has the best screen of any TV I have ever seen. Blue Ray on it looks insanely good.

Not got time to read all the preview posts in this thread (cos im at work) but do bare in mind that the bigger the TV the better the HD signals (e.g. XBOX360, SkyHD, Bluray players) will look, BUT also the bigger the TV, the worse the standard definition will look.

Before somebody posts a reply to say that im wrong - the above rule only applies up to a certain size TV approx 50-60"
