Vistron???????????? new lcd tv

hi there,
I want a huge new tv, but want something that will last. Has anyone heard of vistron? I want lcd, 1080, HD ready with decent sound, at least 42" preferably 46 or 47". Are all tv's widescreen now?
Also i have a dvd player and sky+ so what if i get a tv with only one scart socket? Will i need one of those multi scart socket thingy's?
Last question, whats the best sound? dolby? nicam?????

What about these ones on ebuyer?

    don't - seriously don't. There's a reason you pay more for the likes of Sony Toshiba and Samsung and it isn't totally just for the name. Whilst the cheaper brands may use panels with the same spec or even the same panels there's more to it than that and the electronics that control and send the image to the screen count for ALOT and cheap tv's don't cut it in that department.

    Not if you connect them together properly, most large new TVs have at least 2 scart sockets anyway.
