Which LED TV?

I've been looking for an LED TV for my new Xbox 360 slim. After doing research i have narrowed it down to these three models:

1) Samsung UE22D5000 - £220 at John Lewis, free 5 year guarantee
2) Samsung UE22D5003 - £179 at John Lewis, free 5 year guarantee, 100HZ
3) Samsung LE22D450 - £190
4) DGM ETV-2272WH - £140

All are 1080p HD which is what i want. I can't decide between all of them. The first two are virtually similar only one is £40 more. The 5 year free guarantee is awesome though and looks great.
The third one I've read reviews of and it seems great. It has better speakers than the two because it's not as thin.
The fourth is a cheap set I've thrown in.

Which one is the best? I'm at university and will use it after i graduate (I'm in my 2nd year) I want something that will last a long time and won't break easily. It will be used mostly for gaming but also watching TV too.

    Number 3 is not an LED, so that would rule that out if you want an LED. I'd go for number 2, as the Samsungs are pretty decent and it's a better refresh rate for £30 less!

    I suspect you will have confused the OP with this. :huh:

    Of the four televisions listed, the only two which differ in price by £30 are #1 and #3 ... :wall:

    Hi I've been reading online and i found that the new Samsungs have a lot of problems. The screen tends to just go black for no reason and the speakers are awful because the TV is so thin. Here is another TV i found:

    Sharp LC24LE210E.
    It has more or less the same features but it's 24 inches and costs £189.99
