    I dont think I would get a Sony or a Panasonic for £350. It would be nice to buy the "TOP" brands ---- BUT MY BUDGET IS £350 max !!!!!
    Thanks

    Its quite a small bedroom so a 32" would be the maximum size for the wall. we have measured out the size of the actual tv. would it be worth ringing richer sounds. They have a lot on their website but any time i have gone into Belfast they dont actually have any in stock in the shop.....any ideas ?

    Dont ever buy a tv without being able to see the pic quality, they vary considerably. so the national supermarkets arent a good place to start. Try Currys, I got a 32" Samsung with exceptional pic quality. make sure the contrast ratio is 15000:1 or better. Look for good whites & blacks and sharp edges in the picture! You can get a good one within your budget!
