lexa34 - Not full HD so won't get the absolute best out of Sky HD, but still looks good value. A plasma is also generally better at doing SD stuff than LCDs.0

SD = Standard Definition
HD = High Definition
Full HD = Even Higher Definition, lol
For someone with poor eyesight, anything will do, size is probably more important than resolution.0 -
I’ve recently purchased two Technika 32" HD Ready LCD TV with built-in Freeview & DVD player 32-601, I brought one for my sister's birthday and was so impressed I brought one for myself and it’s likely Christmas time will bring one for my mum too! Its back in stock again and available for £349.97 + Quidco +double clubcard points +a free delivery code (the latter two deals end tomorrow I think).

I've just got myself a bit of a bargain me thinks. I was looking to buy a 40" full HD plus an upscaling DVD player
Bought a 40" Samsung HD LCD for £479 from Comet. Asked for a deal but they said no as it was already on offer and head office had starting to complain about too many stores giving discounts on items that were already on deal.
I was also looking to buy an upscaling DVD player for about £60 but saw an upscaling surround sound cinema system for around £150 so asked if they'd do a deal if I bought it with the telly. Still not really interested.
Then I followed Martin's advice about offering to buy one of their warranties. The guy went away and came back saying that he'd normally do me 10% off the cinema system if I bought the warranty but as the system I wanted was the last one he do me 50% off if I too the warranty!!! Result!
So I've got the TV for full price but full surrond sound system (with DVD player) for £75, free delivery and a 5-year for the price of 3-year warranty (if I want to keep it) or I can cancel within 45 days so no cost.
Happy days!0
