LCD tv

mark07

Im after a 19/20 inch LCD tv for approx £200-300. However, im after as reputable a make as poss (sony, pana, jvc etc), and not just any old 'supermarket lot' make. I know I may be asking a bit much but has anyone got any good ideas/links? Thanks

PC World has 20" ones from Philips and LG for under £250 - go through Quidco and get cashback even if you reserve and collect in store - if you do that you get it for the web price - Toshiba is £349 instore but only £273 on the web - quite a saving for a few clicks

Thanks Gizmo. Is that for monitors though? Im after a TV LCD. Ive just had a look and the only one I can see is a Samsung 19" at 269.99. This is a pretty good deal in itself, but I want to see if theres anything else of value before diving in.

It's ok, I found the ones your talking about. It seems the 20" ones are of more value than the 19s!! Thanks again. Any one else have any good links? No harm shopping around hey!!

its the TV - I was looking for one myself - indeed I picked up the 19" AOC tonight LCD Monitor with TV for £179 - it does for what I need it for and TV quality is better than the LG one

How do you know that (the diff in pic quality) gizmos? Is there a comparison site on the web maybe?

screen resolution is what I looked at one of them was a lot better than the other (ie the higher the figures the better)

Any other thoughts/links anyone?

Have you tried Richer Sounds? They would be one of the first places I would look. Google for their web site and nearest store.

My local Tesco frequently has top name brands, though at a guess they might be feature light special production models. Worth a look maybe.

The AOC on PC World does look good value, item code 335720 , worth bearing in mind it should come with a 3yr warranty as its a PC monitor as well
