New TV

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone here could recommend a good 40" Full HD TV, trying to find a good one and have no idea which are better than the others!

We are looking to hang the TV on the wall so a thin TV would be quite nice.

Thanks in advance

    Some of the best are Sony, LG, Panasonic, Samsung etc according to 'Which'

    Avoid the 'Supermarket cheapies' or the lesser known makes

    Picture not as good on some of them

    FWIW, if you're going to be viewing it any further than 6ft away, there is no advantage to full HD over 720p as the human eye doesn't have high enough resolution to be able to tell the difference at that range. Also unless you're playing Blu-Ray discs, pretty much all source material won't be full HD either.

    That means you can get a good quality 720p TV for less money than an average 1080p one.
  • I'm not good with what's the best but we have Sony in living room and bedroom and they're great. I also came across a new shopping web site which seems to have some good deals. Also has a game that you can play to win TVs etc at very low prices. Not tried it but I think it was deal2reveal.co.uk
  • I got a 32inch panasonic TX-L32E5B smart TV and it is fantastic, they do a 42 as well for under £500. It not 3d thou but 3D give me headache.
    Nothing to see here, move along.
