    Size does matter. The TV we have now is a 52 or 55 " sony which we acquired used for a bargain price. The original impact of its size has somewhat waned and i now wouldnt want anything smaller...err...ohhhh...Matron !
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    See I wouldn't want anything bigger than a 32". Maybe cos I have quite a small room and don't want the TV dominating it. I've been in houses where people have great big tellies and it just seems to swamp the room. Maybe I feel like that cos I don't watch a lot of telly though? Still think the best thing you can do is go and have a look at some of them :)

    I seem to recall a Samsung 43" Plasma being £318 on eBay from ebuyer, but was on Amazon for £299. If you were not to bother about it being manufacturer refurbished, you could get it for £250.

    The only downside to this tv, was that its on Full HD (its 768? pixels). We've never noticed, as we dont watch that many HD channels/movies.

    I think £400 will see you pick up a 50".. :)

    Yes,,i know what you mean. I have my 55 incher (or is it 52 ?) in a spare bedroom which is a combined movie theatre room and causal lounge where we can slob about. The extra benefit is that its a heck of a lot warmer in winter and the lounger stays prestine. (no kids)

    Och don't get me wrong, maybe if I watched more telly or movies I might be tempted, fair play to you for having what you want ;) I'm sat here tonight and the telly's on, but it's just on for the sake of some background noise lol
