    I am looking for a LCD TV for my bedroom, was wondering if anyone knew of any good deals out there.

    Basically looking for say between 21" and 26" HD Ready and Digital Ready with possibly 1 scart lead incase I decide to add Sky Multiroom at a later date.

    I prefer Samsung TV's, but any suggestions would be great...oh my budget isn't huge, so maybe I am onto plums here.lol

    Thanx in advance for any help folks :)

    Some good prices here but beware the cheapest Samsung is not Freeview.....

    I think plasmas have better pictures, from my personal experience anyway.

    Plasmas have always been noted for superior picture quality, but only came in larger screen sizes; LCDs were behind on display standards and screen sizes were smaller but have lower power consumption.

    Now LCD screen sizes are a match for plasma models and the display qualities of a top brand, top of the range set can equal that of plasma.

    There's a 32" LG Digital TV (HD Ready with built-in Freeview) on the T J Hughes Website at the moment for only £349.99 if anyone's interested. There we're only 7 left when I checked, so its whilst stocks last! Would love to post a link, but new user rules :confused:

    It's £10 cheaper from Dixons or Currys plus they give free delivery while your company charges £10 so that makes it £20 cheaper overall.

    I've just bought the Toshiba 32" from Dixons for £299 with a 1/2 price stand so total cost £348.99 delivered.

    It's not for me it's for MIL and will keep her happy. We bought Toshiba because we have 3 of them at home so we know how to talk her through the menus/remote when she rings us with queries :)

  • Does anyone know of any HD TVs with built-in freeview plus, not just freeview?

    Is it an option to use a tv as a monitor or are there any drawbacks/problems?

    Together we can make a difference.
  • Ben I use mine as a Pc monitor it also has PIP function so I can still watch TV/DVD`s as well no drawbacks for me.

    I'm thinking about getting the LG 32LH3000 32" 1080p FULL HD - However I am moving to Australia in Jan so does anyone know if it will be compatible with the system there. According to the manual it seems that it is compatible with PAL B/G, but not absolutly clear.
    I have emailed LG about 3 times in the last 2 weeks but no reply...

    joelwoods - I'm sure I've seen a Freeview+ TV (ie one that's a PVR, recorder, not just viewer) but they're pretty obscure. I've always stuck by having the TV as a screen, and have boxes for doing the other things, but I understand that some people can find this messy! You'll have better luck getting a TV you like and a seperate Freeview+ set top box.
    Unless you want to wait for FreeviewHD equipment...
