High Def LCD TV - Advice Wanted

Jim_UK_2

Hi,

I am looking at mid-priced (upto £1000) 32 inch HD compatible LCD TV's and wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

I currently have a shortlist of two, they are:

Favourite: Sony Bravia KLV-32A10

and

Cheaper But Pretty Impressive Looking: Toshiba 32WL56

If anyone has either of these or a 32 inch LCD HD compatible tellies or any other model they are very happy with, please can they let me know if it is any good.

I am currently only using Freeview (PVR) and a standard DVD player (am going to get an upscaler once I get the telly).

Thanks

Before rushing out to buy an HDTV, here are a couple of points to consider.
Firstly, make sure it has more than one HDMI input sockets, there will be after market socket multipliers, but for convience you want a couple in the back of the TV.
Secondly, you really want a TV that will display at 1080p. Lots of HDTVs will only display at 720p so you will not be getting the real big picture.
It is not worth buying a HDTV unless you are going to upgrade to Sky HD (£300 for the box + £10 a month extra). The cost of these TVs are dropping and I'm sure the Sky box will come down once more people take it up.

I like the look of panasonics but I have to admit I haven't looked into it much. I still think the picture I get on my analoge Sony CRT is much better than some boxy artifact-full image from freeview.

Whichever you choose, it may well be worth a look at the Freemans 30% off voucher on Discounts board, as they have some good makes. I just bought a Samsung 26inch LCD with freeview for £399 (£599 less 30% off and 5% via quidco).

A Sony Bravia tv got slated on the Gadget show a couple of weeks ago and came bottom of the list in a hi-def tv test. Don't know if it was the same model you are after but if you go to the gadget show website you should be able to find information regarding the Hi-Def LCD test
