Three Televisions All Within My Price Range. But Which One?

kah22

The girlfriend has just moved into new accommodation and is still operating on an old tv with the aid of a Humax HD decoder. So I'm thinking of buying her a tv for Christmas. A local retailer here in Northern Ireland seems to be offering some good deals - beats Amazon - and I'm just wondering what's the difference, or are they all much of a muchness?

Toshiba 32HL933B 32" HD Ready LED TV with Freeview + Saorview £269

LG 32CS460 32" Full HD LCD TV with Freeview HD + Saorview £229

Nordmende NU323LD 32" Full HD LCD TV with Freeview HD and Saorview £219

My order of choice would be, LG, Toshiba a close second and then Nordemede simply because I know little about Nordemede.

The Toshiba is HD Ready while the LG is Full HD is that a big issue, it's the main reason I've put the LG as No 1 choice otherwise it would have been the Tosh and of course Tosh is LED while the others are LCD but I don't know the difference.

Would be interested in your thoughts,

Kevin

ps Saorview is Rep of Ireland's version Freeview

The LG does not have feeviewHD, but it is cheaper at Richer Sounds, I brought 4 of the 42inch version today.

I would personally go with a Samsung one:

Brilliant picture quality, never been disappointed.

It has everything you want - is LED rather than LCD and has freeview HD.

It doesn't have freeview HD, not sure what is wrong with armagh electrical but the specs are all wrong.

Good spot.

What's the difference between LCD and LED? Does it really make a difference or is it just two systems fighting it out to see which will become standard - a bit like to old video recorders?
