    Don't know much about this brand of TV. Have seen Harvey Norman selling them, although didn't take much notice of their price.

    A great price for a 32" TV all the same, but I've noticed some people have posted about TVs they bought in Lidl or Aldi and were sorry they skimped on the cost of the TV, and were disapointed.

    Check out www.directtvs.co.uk. I've posted here on them, found them excellent. The prices are in sterling, but you should find something to suit you budget. They charge a 0.95% credit card fee on web orders, and shipping is 39.95 sterling.

    I bought the Sony KDL32D3000 off them this week and total cost was just over €1000 including shipping, credit card fee and conversion to Euro. Saved €300 on high street prices for same TV.

    Very pleased with it too, great service (arrived next day, and they say actually say 1-2 days delivery), and great high def pictures for the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles!

    True, probably should save up the shillings a bit longer and get a well known brand...

    That is the standard resolution for a 720p television.

    But why would a 19'' have more pixels than a 32''?

    Requirement and Cost.

    A 19" PC LCD is designed for using close up, so will have a low dot pitch, and a very high resolution to accomodate the windows gui, apps etc... Typically at 1280x1024 res or 1440x900 for widescreen, or if you have a laptop LCD you can get anything up to 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 even on 17" screen. Lots more pixels then a 32" TV then (which is typically 1366x768) though smaller viewing area.

    A TV however does not need this kind of res or dot pitch as people sit far back from a 32" LCD TV. Considering most stuff is still SD (640x480) , 720p sets (natively 1366x768) get the job done just fine, and now only with the advent of SKYHD TV/BD/HDDVD/PS3 etc.. are we seeing 1080p sets becoming more common. It is however questionable how much benefit people get out of 1080P sets, as many people believe at normal viewing distances you need a screen of 40"+ to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p HD content.

    The 2nd reason is cost. The dot pich or res of the 720p or 1080p TV will never be as good as a PC LCD of comparible size. Hence why a Dell 30" 3007HC LCD (2500x1600), costs twice the price of any well known 30" LCD 720P or 1080P TV. Can you imagine the cost if every 32" TV was capable of 2500x1600!!

    Personally I use a Sharp Aquos 37" 1080p set for my PC :) For close up work the res is way too low, but I get by. Games are great though.
