    Well Guys,
    I am in need of a few suggestions ( and Bargains )
    As Below ....!!!!
    Looking to buy a 32" LCD soon >> HOW ABOUT THIS ?? <<
    I will also be buying a HD Freesat box >> POSSIBLY THIS <<
    and a HD streamer >> POSSIBLY THIS <<

    Xbox360 with HD drive will also be hooked up to it.
    My main worry is quality from sat as that will be on SD mainly,
    I also dont want to spend a fortune on the TV.
    somewhere around 5-600€ possibly.

    Cheers

    Please check following for much much more competitive prices. I am looking anything between 32"-40" LCD TV and my budget is 500-600euros.

    Those prices don't include VAT so add 21% to all those models for realistic price.

    What are the views of you guys on >> Toshiba REGZA 32" LCD-TV 32XV505D --Full HD, DVB-T--
    Or would I see much of a difference to this one>> Toshiba REGZA 32" LCD-TV 32AV505D --DVB-T-- :confused:

    Is it worth the extra going FULL HD ?
    Will be using it for the above. :cool:

    OK guys
    Was in the "Sound Store" today looking at these two
    Samsung HD Ready 32" @ around €650

    Or this
    Samsung FULL HD @ around €850

    Is it worth the extra €200 for full hd?

    I will be watching mainly HD movies ( MKV Files )
    and am getting a HD Fresat receiver ( Humax )

    Will i get the full Hd or the HD ready ? :confused:


    Need your views URGENTLY Please as I might be buying tomorow.. :cool:

    If you want a FullHD 32", I have to whole hearthly recommend the Panasonic 32LZ80L in Currys at the moment for €750. That really is a superb price and very very comparable to UK price on RicherSounds.
    Its same spec as the Samsung you listed for €850. My brother bought it a week ago and is very happy with it.

    DID are selling it for €1100

    Contrast on Panasonic = 10K : 1
    On Samsung i showed = 15k : 1

    Worth the difference or not?
    I dont know.
    But I will Pop into Currys in Mahon tomorow on my way to the Sound Store.
    Do they sell stands for them as well ?:confused:
    Cheers

    IMO its not worth the difference and most of the quoted contrast ratio by manufacturers are over-stated and exaggerated for LCDs and Plasma.

    Didnt get into Currys after all.
    Something else happened and i got sidetracked
    Anyhow
    as the story goes
    I called to my local electrical shop today and the salesperson informed me that the current Samsung LCD's can be problematic and an alarming amount of them are being returned for repair.. :eek:
    I dont want that happening

    Now i am steered towards this >> Sony KDL32W4000 Awesome looking TV but is it worth it or is this only all sales talk ?? :rolleyes:
