Dumbledore did you actually buy this? All sounds good, but I wonder what their service was like...and the TV come to that!

Yes I bought it. The quality of the picture is excellent and I really can't fault the delivery service. It was delivered within 72 hours, I got a phonecall the day before to confirm delivery and again they rang about 15 mins before delivery. The two guys who delivered were obviously an independent delivery service but they unpacked the TV and got me to check the screen before they left.

I can't fault them. My OH's best friend is a TV geek and he is so impressed and jealous of our TV - he says that for the money we sepnt you really can't get better.

Can you confirm that this tv is now priced at £399 or was it a different tv?

Yes, I actually bought one on the weekend when they came back on at £399 but now gone back up and out of stock anywhere near me and not available for home delivery.

BTW not as impressed with pic as I thought I would be especially on older movies or programmes. There seems to be a lot of pixelisation (if there is such a word) especially on darker colours. Could this be that its only 50htz or cos I havent got Sky HD. Very disappointed with the pic from my Wii but that may change if I get a different lead maybe. (any suggestions??)

Just found 19" LG in Asda, Colne for £150..... model 19LG3000. I'm not sure if it's HD ready, not that we need that in the bedroom. It looks like a good buy to me.

I seriously wouldnt scrimp and try and save £50 by buying inferior makes like Hitachi etc......

I would rather stick with brands like Samsung, Sony, Panasonic etc which are quality.

I just had to answer to this one. Hitachi are head & shoulders above Samsung as a brand name of quality goods. I say this as the owner of a few Samsung products.

I'm looking to buy my first LCD TV around the £300 mark. I've decided that for my needs (general TV/DVD watching, no games consoles or cable services) that a 720p model will suffice. I am looking for something no bigger than 32".

My question is - does anyone know of any TVs that fit into this requirement that have a USB port to enable me to connect a memory stick & play DIVX/AVI files directly through my TV ?

I understand Samsung are introducing this to their newer models, but trying to identify which ones is a nightmare !

Any help/confirmation from owners would be helpful. As I watch quite a few TV shows this way , it would be a big bonus in buying a set that has this feature. Thanks.
