Can I get a decent LCD TV for £ 650

spiritus

I don't think I will be subscribing to Sky HD but would like to watch other standard programmes on Sky and ITV/BBC etc inc sport.

Is a 100hz preferable ??

bob_a_builder

you've specified - SD and Sport that would normally suggest Plasma is more suitable rather than LCD
Not said what size you are after ?
but for that sort of money the panasonic 42px80 is well regarded - they also do a 37" version for less than 500

this was recently discussed HERE

You really need to let us know what kind of size you're looking for, or what size room it's going into.

You can get the Panasonic 42PX80 for 650 at Empire direct with a 5 year warranty:T

I would like to second that comment about the panasonic px80, it kills equivalently priced LCDs stone dead

Which one do you recommend is bought Torres? Theres 2 different 37" models in the uk and im really confused

you may struggle to get a 100hz lcd at that price, maybe not. plasmas seem to be coming down in price so perhaps get a plasma.
which gives the most benefit full hd or 100hz? i'm not sure but if you arent bothered about using any type of hd source then try and get a tv with 100hz for sure.

Richer Sounds are doing Panasonic 42PX80 for £599, it's a superb TV, I have one. Don't go for LCD, Plasma is much better no matter what you're told (I worked in the industry for eight years) Richer will try to sell you another screen instead as they're using this offer purely to entice you into the shop (they're actually selling it at a loss - this means that they're unlikely to keep one on display. No point asking for a demo though, as no one's going to take the time to demo something that's going to lose them money!) Insist on the Panasonic. They also do 5 yr warranty for 10% of the cost of the screen as well which is a bargain.

I once bought a toshiba dvd player off them for a loss. Defies belief really!
