Best VFM 32" Digital HD Ready TV (with/without Freeview)

I am in the hunt for an LCD 32" HD ready Digital TV, with or without Freeview built-in, but can't decide whether or not to take the plunge now or wait until the January sales.

The best deal I can find at the moment is a cracker with eBuyer (especially as it includes free delivery) http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131916 but is it worth hanging on until after Christmas to see if the January sales bear any juicier fruit???

Can anyone find a better deal than the eBuyer one or do you think it is worth hanging on?

Cheers

    Oh god. That's dire. Contrast ratio is all in a panel and anything under 5000:1 will look washed out.

    Do you want value as in cheap or value as in good quality but low price? Another £100 opens up a range of decent brand models including some last generation Samsungs.

    BTW, just because it says it's a Samsung panel, it doesn't mean it's a good one. There are only 5 LCD panel manufacturers and Samsung make the full range from dirt cheap bargain basement such as the dross you find in Woolies to top end.

    Just because a tvs 'cheap' doesnt mean its 'good value'. The cheapie units have ALL sorts of problems (And the specs say NOTHING about the inherant problems like 'movement smear' etc)
    Id recommend a SONY as my top choice.
    That or a samsung
    :idea:
