I thought this was quite a good deal, can't afford it myself but it may help some others. There are also a few discount codes floating around for Woolworths although I think the Wannadoo one has finished.

I've been debating whether to get this for weeks now.
The 3 year swap out guarantee makes it an even better deal.
Thanks for the reminder.

I've been looking for a true HD ready TV for a while now too, but this one doesn't have the HDMI connector on the back which is what will be required for the new HD Sky boxes, as far as I am aware.

Some reviews on this LCD, might not be 100% future proof but it looks good for the money, they also have a 32" black LCD £799 looks good.

My mate bought a similar set from Dell, and to be honest, he would've been better going for a branded model like panasonic or pioneer who make top notch sets.

As with all expensive purchases, go and see them working and then decide - don't let the price alone drive you to buy... and this one isn't truly HD ready as stated above as it's won't be fully compatiable with Sky.

As said this isnt HD ready, the only way that I can see that this plays HDTV is through a PC connected to it.

The Samsung LCD TV like the LE26R41BDX are true HDTV and has been given good reviews by many on avforums.

I am thinking of buying this one from Amazon can anyone tell me If this is a good buy at £700 and will it be any good??
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000B5XLT6/026-0092354-7903644 click on 4 new and used and it shows it at £700..looks a bargain but not sure on these things. Help appreciated

Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole - the person has no ratings and is selling a good tv at a substantially discounted price - why, is what I'd be asking myself...

The £700 one must have been sold the new seller is asking £830
