    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)
    EGG are a bunch of complete bankers!
  • 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. :)

    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?
