Quick and simple question, does anyone think that this TV is a good choice to make? We want to go and buy it now but I wanted to ask on here first for opinions on it.
It will be in a bright room, watching movies, TV and using the PS3.

Here's the link to the TV >> Bush TV Argos

Thanks!

    Is it any good? I've no idea, but I doubt it. Unless you can see it working it is impossible to tell.
    Can you get to a Richer Sounds branch. They have some in the same price region and screen size and they will be on display so that you can see the picture before buying.

    We bought a Bush about 3 years ago and the screen is now shadowed and ww will have to replace the TV soon. This seems to be a problem with Bush TVs according to t'interweb.

    Bush use cheap components and are budget appliances, always have been. You get what you pay for as they say.

    I wouldn't go for it if I were you. We bought the 32" version of that TV not long back for an elderly relative in a care home. It's fine for him as he only has it on for maybe half an hour a day and uses it more for the radio than anything else. The quality is not up to much and not something I'd want for my own TV.
