    tesco and sainsburys have some good deals at the moment also I noticed today
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
  • We have the same Samsung 43" 3D plasma as spike (I think!), it has a great normal picture. Have not tried it on 3D yet, mainly because we have not got around to getting the glasses yet, but it is worth bearing in mind that it is an upscaler, meaning you can play normal TV in 3D.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
  • wow how to put some one off 3D.... The op only asked the best time to buy not for 100 reasons not to get a TV. Like some people on here have said I think LED is the way to go.

    A great tv is the LG42LW450. Its passive so the glasses are cheap and the picture is great. you will get some one complain that its not full HD but who cares. the picture is still amazing. The 3D effects are great and it coverts from 2D to 3D. At the moment its £699 in curry's and I am sure you will get it cheaper online. Im sure there will be a Jan sale some where and it will be cheaper. So my advice, wait till the sales... If after reading the above your not sure on 3D pop in to curry's or down to a sky tv stand and ask to have a look.

    I completely second this - I have the LG 32LW450 and it is fantastic. Plus, if you want Smart TV, and many more fun things, look for the LW650 - they're even better!
