TVs, which to buy?

Hi All,

I'm looking at either a 37" or 32" TV. I'll be sitting between 5ft and 8ft from the TV, so I'm thinking probably the 32" will be the better viewing size?

I've found a Samsung B450 32" TV for only £309.99 (delivered). Does anyone know of any better deals or better deals within this price range?

Thanks!
Amnesia

    My son had a 26" technika (however you spell it) bought last xmas from Tesco with his xmas money, that went wrong the week before last-luckily was just in warranty and got a full refund and looked elsewhere.(Seen some bad reports about them after his went wrong-and especially if warranty had run out)
    With a stroke of luck someone we know who works for another electrical retailer spotted us looking for a new TV just as we were about to leave the shop and offered us the very one you are on about for £280 (32")-£70 off as it was missing the screws to fit it on the stand.-We waited 2 days and replacement screws arrived and were fitted by them and with the full 12 month guarantee.(Cheers Comet)

    When we were looking the 32" was £349.99 in Argos and the 26" still at £399.99 for some strange reason.

    My lad is absolutely chuffed to bits with the TV-so for that price I would say you are getting yourself a good deal- With the money he had refunded,he was either looking to downsize the size of screen from the tecnicka for a smaller screen but better brand, or pay about £350-£400 for a 26" or 32" on a better brand

    Like I say he is chuffed to bits with his Samsung-we did look at an Alba and a Bush-but for the spec in that price range (he was looking between £250-£300) and a 32" I reckon you have a good deal especially over the Alba.
    Hope thats of some help.
    Best of luck with it.

    I've Just bought a 2nd tv for my house from electronicworldtv (Email me if you cant find it on google)

    It sells discontinued models at a discount rate.

    The model which i had bought previously for around £400 is on sale here for £260.

    Do you have a Richer Sounds store near you 32" start from £250 Hitatchi, £280 Samsung,
    £300 Toshiba and they have very reasonable prices for 5 year warranty.
    Have a look on their website
