Desperate advice on choosing a TV please

Marty_J

Given the choice between Hitachi, Ferguson, Samsung and Matsui, I would go with Samsung every time. They make excellent TVs.

I wouldnt touch a ferguson or an hitachi, so has to be samsung 'from that list'
Other makes id seriously consider are Sony and Panasonic. For the money your spending on a 26" you could get a very good 32" if you shopped elsewhere

My sharp 26" was better than my Samsung 40".

My Samsung doesn't have an on/off switch, screen is plastic where Sharp was glass, Samsung is ok but feels / looks much cheaper than my ole Sharp.

26" flatscreen is not big for a bedroom TV - I used to have a 28" CRT TV

The Samsung gets a 5/5 review from What Hifi

And is £290 at Dixons

I have found good deals on TVs after Christmas - splitting the saving between the buyer and the receiver. Just make sure you don't get caught by the VAT rise.

I wouldnt go smaller than 26" for playing ps3 on personally. go for a samsung good bang for buck

might be worth going for 32" as they are the most populaar screen size so not much more than the 26"

Thank you that's really kind of you to take so much trouble. The Dixons price for the Samsung is far cheaper than Comets even with the 15% discount!
The Samsung has really good reviews..... I think she might be better off waiting to see what TV's are in the sale in M&S and John Lewis so she can get the 5 yrs warrantee

Thanks again

A Sharp LCD has a glass screen?

Hi, we have just bought a new 32" 1080p tv so that we can use our playstation 3 on a better quality screen, you really can tell the difference if it's not full HD believe me! Anyway for ours (Samsung) it was £250 from Richer Sounds clearence section, I really would have a look there, they're well known for their decent customer service and I'm pretty pleased with my new telly!

i like this one.. im sure it'll go down by boxing day either way?

I'd also go with the Samsung out of those. But I will add, that despite my fears, the Matsui/Evotel 32" TVs have been surprisingly reliable. I don't recall myself having seen one come back.
