Which LCD?

Ashok_2

Hey,

I'm trying to decide between the Sony KDL-26S2010U (Widescreen) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-KDL-26S2010U-Widescreen-Bravia-Freeview/dp/B000F5UJTM

and the SONY KDL26S2030 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Bravia-KDL26S2030U-Ready-LCD/dp/B000IBA2EU/sr=1-1/qid=1171816589/ref=sr_1_1/202-8273959-6362208?ie=UTF8&s=electronics

They both seem the same to me, apart form one is widescreen and the other isn't...

Any advice on which I should go for?

I would like to use it for playing 360 on, and also as a monitor for my computer.

I think you will find they are both widescreen and the s series is a little better spec than the U series although they are both good models, if you are near a large Tesco they have the 26 U on display.

According to the Sony website, both are identical except for the colour - see this side-by-side comparison. If you click on Hide similar specifications, all of the features are hidden except for the colour. Both are widescreen & cost the same (£695 on the site, so £599 must be very good) as well. Click on their pictures to view them individually.

If you go through Quidco (2% cashback) & purchase from Empire-Direct - Sony KDL26S2030U £579 + free del (or Sony KDL26S2010U £579 + £15 del) - you'll get it for slightly less. Use vouchers from here or here to reduce it even further.

Why not buy the 32" Bravia for £544 plus delivery.

Hubby also suggests out of the first two you looked at the 26S2030 is better (the other one is no longer being manufactured)....

Also looking at your links that is the one that is in stock

Thanks, that's the one I liked best anyway. Could you ask your hubby when the 26" with 2 HDMIs will be out?

I can recommend the following forum for all things AV !! http://www.avforums.com You will usually find posts from people who already have that LCD.
