POSSETTE

Hi never been in this section before so im presuming you are all clever on here!!
we want to upsize to a 40inch lcd,presume HD will be on it regardless,we are not bothered if its there or not,just use it for Wii and watching tv.Not bothered about brand name either, i have been told that 720p is adequate and there is no need to pay for 1080p coz that is only needed on a blu-ray or psp unit.
any ideas folks..ps cheapest deals are obviously the best for me! i have done loads of comparisons but think i would prefer what you lot have to say about tvs to be honest!:beer:

I have just got one of the 42LG7000 sets from Currys, and it looks and performs very well.
Might be worth a look at.

Seem to be completely sold out

I originally ordered one from Dixons which was cancelled to to stock problems, then ordered one from Currys for delivery in approx 14 days as all branches within a 50 mile radius were showing as no stock.
Went into local branch of Currys Digital (which showed no stock on web) and they had 5 in stock.
Chap in shop assisted me to cancel web order and took set home yesterday.
It might be worth checking branches physical stock rather than relying on web.

I've just bought a 40" Sony KDL40W4000 and it's extremely good. It does do 1080, but I consider that future-proofing. After much auditioning the only obvious other contender was a Samsung which looked very good but just not quite up to the Sony's standard.

Hope that's some help.

any particular reason you specifed LCD or is that just a sort of generic term for flat screen - there are other options.

Would recommend you consider one of the PX80 panasonics available in 37" and 42" - generally considered the best value for money, with brilliant PQ, black levels, natural colours etc - its a plasma not LCD, and 720p is fine for most people

try looking up some reviews on those - either 37PX80 or 42PX80

Whoever told you it must be a PSP should be shot though!

WOW Thanks for info .how much were all these tvs that you have bought/seen though, i do have a limit of 550 but hubbys budget is 650!!:rotfl:
i dont actually like tvs,so the bigger they get the more gaudy they are to me! we have 37" at mo on wall,so i dont want bigger than 40,although DH would fill the bloody wall with tv given chance!;)
i am informed that plasma use a lot of elec compared to lcd and the chap who told me 1080 is only needed if you have a Blu-ray or psp connected to tv, was from currys tv dept...is he not right?

erm. Why go from 37" to 40"??
What have you got now?
Maybe you missheard the currys guy. Did he not say a PS3? (A psp would look awful on a big screen). A plasma does use more electricity. Though theres generally not a hugh deal in them (And its more down to how much of the backlight is on the LCD its compared to). If say a LCD uses 200 Watts then the Plasma would be around 260 Watts (all dependent on manufacturer and model etc)
The Sony I posted is the best LCD your going to get for the price (And it was originally 900 quid as indicated in the review!!)
