Me &new TV again

Jake'sGran

I was determined to buy my new TV today especially after being educated on here re HD. Am I right in thinking the following animal does not exist? Max 22", HD 1080, able to play prerecorded DVDs and with Freeview?

I doubt youll find one with 1080P AND plays dvds
My advice is forget about playing dvds as the quality of tvs with built in dvds tend to be cr*p
I also wouldnt bother whatsoever if the screen was 1080 or 768 as your almost certain not to be able to tell any difference on a screen that small

Jake'sGran,

With respect, there's little point in having 1080p on a 22" screen.

But LG sells a 22" to that spec.

You'd be far better off with a 24" Samsung, though, if you can accommodate it.

I was embarrassed after I posted as I had received so much help already. On the TV forum they too said the same especially as I will be buying a DVD recorder afterwards. So, I know where I 'm at now and will go buy my 22" TV. It's possible that if I can get one in white I can go to a bigger size e.g. 26" without it looking stark in a white bedroom.

Why do you need one with an integral DVD player when you are buying a DVD recorder anyway? It just limits you to cheap and nasty supermarket brands.
As pointed out by several people in your other post, you do not need Full HD on a 22in screen, it is pointless and a waste of money, as the extra cost is £15-£200. All you need is HD Ready.

Never be embarrassed to ask here. You always do so with such charm and courtesy that it's a pleasure to help you.

Sony makes a beautiful 26" television in white that you'd absolutely love :heartpuls . But it's expensive.

Their black one, if you could live with that, is much cheaper – say, £346 with free delivery. Well equipped: 3 HDMIs, 2 SCARTs, 1 USB and a magnificent picture.

If I find a white one cheaper, I'll post it here for you.

That is really nice of you Leopard especially after the horrible week I've had. Sony has a great reputation and this is being typed on a VA10 but since I got the separate mouse it's difficult to make sure I am in the right position for the next sentence. In my rather small bedroom 26" really is too big. There are some at 24" so I went off with my tape measure and found that too would look silly.

I think I will settle for the 22" JL own make - I asked who made them but they did not reply. It does have a 5 yr guarantee though. Methinks I do try too hard when all I want is a TV with Freeview and later, a DVD recorder. Have a great week, Di

I don't agree with Leopard on many things, but I agree with the post just made. Never feel shy about asking anything

I hope you find the perfect TV for what you want.

You have my deepest sympathy, robt: it must be terrible for you to be wrong about so many things.

Jl's tvs are made by Avtex, who also manufacture Linsar Tvs.

Avtex's own sets are ok, but are aimed more at the caravan/boating market and run off a 12V power supply and are pretty expensive.

The JL tvs aren't too bad, but I don't understand why they've made them with ridiculously spaced mounting holes in the back. The viewing angle isn't spectacular, but the auto tune button is a nice touch, should you not feel comfortable delving about in menus.
