LCD TV's - can anyone help??

Options
Hey techies!

I've just moved into a new place and need to upgrade/buy lots of new appliances and equipment (great time for moving with the Jan sales in full swing!).

I want to get a new TV for the bedroom, nothing too swanky but I'm thinking an LCD TV as they're small and seem to be the way to go. I don't really mind on size and am not brand conscious so any ideas would be gratefully received.

Can anyone help me with suggestions of where to get a real MSE bargain?

Cheers-
Catherine

  • Depending on the size you want and if you want it to have Freeview built in - this makes it a little future proof.

    Heres what I am considering for my Bedroom - 17 inch widescreen.

    Toshiba 17inch - £449
    Humax 17inch - £399 - 5 Year Guarantee

    Wharfdale 20 inch - £379.99

    The Humax is available in currys but without the 5 year guarantee. All these TV's have built in freeview.
  • Hi
    Also consider High Defination TV, thats the new one to look out for when buying.

    Hope this helps

    The problem with HD is that the standards have not been set in stone yet for the UK -- I'd be very hesitant to spend too much just yet on an "HD-ready" set.

    It's only a small set for the bedroom anyway. Plenty of 17" and 20" TVs available for about £200. Personally I wouldn't spend any more than that, you can get a freeview box for £25 that'll sit snugly beside or even under the TV.
