TV wanted.

I am looking to buy a new TV in time for the world cup. I am baffled by the technology! I want a 32" LCD TV which will only be used for watching TV (no games etc). Do I need it to be HD ready or fully HD? This terminology means nothing to me! I also dont want to pay silly money for it. Can anyone recommend a TV please.

You won't find a LCD TV that isn't at least HD Ready nowadays.
The HD Ready tag just means that it's capable of showing HD content, either from Blu-ray, PS3, Xbox, Sky HD, etc.
How are you getting your TV channels just now; Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Virgin?
Freeview HD is just starting to broadcast, but if you wanted the HD channels (BBC HD, ITV HD & 4HD) you'd need a Freeview HD Set Top Box or one of the newer TV's that has Freeview HD built in. You're probably looking at over £500 for one of these TV's.
You'll also have to check when your region will get Freeview HD transmissions. You can check here.
A 32" TV with just normal Freeview can be had for around £250+.Dave. :wave:0
