What type of plasma's have you bee looking at??? My plasma is wall mounted and weighs 25kg - it's only mounted on some plasterboard! Also they don't get any hotter than any other electrical device.

Buy a cheap LCD by any means, but buying something without seeing it and having a play with it is something I wouldn't do for something such as a TV, which is important when it comes to picture quality. And buying with an eye on the bottom line is often a way to get yourself caught up with a crappy product and all the problems that go with it.

What plasma have you got? Mine is 65kg! (Panasonic 42PHD7)

This might be a really dumb question, but is the TV tuner on this one analogue or digital?

The Dell site describes the tuner as: "PAL/SECAM tuner, SDTV & HDTV Ready"
I thought the UK standard is DVB or is SDTV the same thing.

Bottom line, would I need a freeview box?!

Thanks!

To watch digital yes you will, normal analogue then no.

Good old Woolies to the rescue. seems they are now doing a 32" Crown LCD tv that is HD ready for 1/2 price :j £599.95 at the moment. Cannot comment on pictue quality but if you just want it for games would go for a decent projector as most already take 1080 line signals and can offer a wall filling picture to beat any big screen tv.
:money:

I bought this tv it is also branded a goodmans and a Akura (from makro) and had to return it, due to a problem with the switching on and off with the remote, the picture was not bad except when there was a lot of colours on screen and movement when it went a bit blurry, (sound was really good though) and i think you may find that it is not HD ready. Wollys are doing a evesham 30inch lcd that is but the crown is not.

These really aren't very good TVs - you can get an equivalent Sony or Panasonic for the same price and it'll outperform the Dell by miles...

Chris, where can you get the Sony for £315?
