Lots more features and info on the site. I think it is a lot better specs than the cheap TJHughes or Woolworths ones but correct me if I'm wrong - I went for it anyway.

Forgot to say... 4 left when I posted this but knowing Aria they have more stock just at the "normal" price of £499 instead of £458.

    They are all much of a muchness really. None of the cheap ones have been 'Full HD' (1080p - none of them have even been 1080i). Depends if you just want a cheap TV now and not bothered about "futureproofing".

    If 720p does what you need, then It will be grand.

  • 1080p sets are a niche market at the mo, so why are you even putting it in the same league?

    And just cause a panel is 720p, doesn't make it "grand" by any stretch of the imagination. Resolution doesn't matter a damn, if the panels internal processing amongest other factors is cr*p.

    Ever heard of the saying you can't polish a turd? That applies largely in the budget LCD/Plasma scene.
