head for a sony centre ull get the top of the range sony 32" for under 2k and a v good sound sytem without dvd for €529 and if you need a dvd player aswell they start at €169. The one on O'Connell Street (dublin) seem to by v good

elexes

thx for the rec. but are sony that good from what ive read they can be overpriced for what they give out ?

I would also recommend Sony equipment. Have a Sony widescreen TV (getting another one soon) and Sony Home Cinema system. Never had any problems with them and the pic quality on the TV is excellent.

When getting the DVD player do your best to get a multi region one. Munster Sounds in Cork will usually be able to supply a modified one.

Definitly go for Sony, I'd be lost without mine. My whole kit is Sony & I've never had a problem

I wouldn't advise going to a Sony Centre , they generally charge a lot more than some other shops for the same TV or home cinema system.

Best bet would probably be to try DID Electrical.

Like ShaneOC said, try and get a multi-region dvd player.
Most (if not all) Sony dvd players have to be chipped, there is no remote hack for them.
