Elonex, the computer maker went bust some time ago. If the Elonex TV's are by the same company, what about after sales service or has someone rescued Elonex?

How will I be able to tell from the description if a TV will connect to my PC?

You might want to have a look at Martin's original article about consumer rights, which also mentions out-of-warranty goods: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/consumer-rights-refunds-exchan

I also posted some links in a related thread:

The only thing to worry about is whether Ebuyer go belly-up!

Thought I'd add another site which I find extremely competitively priced and currently have quite a range of cheap LCD HD TV's

www.aria.co.uk

Here's a Teco 37" Widescreen LCD HDTV which might be more preferential to the Elonex (as the company went bust) :

£399.44 inc. VAT (free delivery)

• 16:9 HD Ready TFT-LCD TV
• 37" Active Screen Size
• WXGA 1366x768 pixel
• Brightness: 500 (cd/m²)
• Contrast : 1000:1
• Response Time: 15/5, 8 ms (Tr/Tf)
• Viewing Angle: 178° / 178°
• Teletext Support (1000 pages)
• Support up to 8 OSD Languages
• Input: HDMIx2, SCARTx2, YPbPr,AV
• Audio Output: 10W+10W
• Green Power Saving
• Optional VESA wall mount kit
• Dimensions: 960(W) x 730(H) x 280(D) mm
• Weight: 31kgs

Technical Details:

Active screen size 37"
Aspect ratio 16:9
Brightness 500 Cd/sqm
Contrast ratio 1000:1
Hd ready 480i, 480p, 720p & 1080i
Resolution 1366x768
Scart sockets: 2
Viewing angle 178° / 178°
Weight 31KG/84Lbs

It has 2 HDMI inputs which I've found to be quite rare on these cheaper LCD's.

This is upto 1080i, so won't support 1080p, but as was said above, you will never be able to tell them apart unless you have a TV bigger than 50".

My company just purchased one of these TV's to use in the conference room as an alternative to a projector and it's absolutely fantastic.

I'm going to purchase one of these to go with the now newly reduced PS3's!!!

(They also have a 32" HDTV of the same brand for £340.69 inc. VAT)

If you look under connection types in the technical descriptions, you need to look for either a VGA or DVI connection.

I think that VGA is the most standard, but it depends on what type of graphics card you have on your pc - mine allows for both, but you can get graphics cards that only have VGA, or only have DVI

Another connection that would work is S-Video, but again you need to check whether your pc graphics card has this connection.

I very nearly purchased the LG 42LF5 from RicherSounds earlier last week for £899 full 1080 etc etc and the demo in the shop including the football (which has been known to be rubbish on LCD TV's because of the frame rate) was fantastic. RicherSounds customer service is outstanding, plus thir panel protection is also very very cheap. I tried to do a comparison and look for a technical review before handing over my cash and found that only a few places sell the 42LF65 including the LG website). I did find the 42LF66 (exactly the same except in has a NTSC tuner for use in the US, so it is a little heavier) with lots of very good reveiws. Richersounds wouldn't price match as the model number was different. I found the television for £732.00 (including delivery and free HTMI lead) at Digital-point.co.uk. I was a bit wary as I had never heard of them. I entered the order online Thursday and my TV arrived 11.00 Saturday. Long story short check the model number and then compare before spending your cash. I saved £167. :rotfl:

Best full HD 1080P set is the 50" Pioneer 'Kuro' sets. Be careful you get the right one as there are multiple sets with similar model numbers.

Forget buying any cheap LCD, they are rubbish.

At 42" go for the Pioneer or Panasonic, at 37" the panasonic.

Buy from John Lewis because they do a free 5 year warranty with all sets.
