help choosing tv

masseyno9

Hi, 1st time around these parts, just want a bit of help choosing a tv for the bedroom. 26" lcd hd ready was my goal and budget was €450ish. I'll be mainly using it to watch SD tv and play ps3 in HD. Both of these look to fit the bil and come in under budget. As its only for my room, I don't mind too much about it not being the top of the range tv. I will play with the idea of setting up surround sound off it as well. Here are the 2 models I've noticed.

The Acer seems to be a good deal with digital tuner and high contrast ratio, but Acer aren't exactly a big name in the tv world. The samsung seems to be a great price for the brand, but I'm wondering if its just the badge I'm paying for. Having said that, we have a 40" samsung downstairs and its amazing with a HD signal, and I'm afraid the acer might pale in comparison.

Anyone have any experience with acer tv sets or offer any advice?

Sorry if these questions pop up all the time

I am going to sound like a broken record or a covert RS salesman! I just got a Samsung 37" A656 from them priced 599stg and 20 stg delivery. I saved hundreds on the price compared to others. My advice is ring them in Belfast and ask their advice. You can also check out their UK website as they bring stock in from there.

I have no doubt you will save on two fronts 1) the inital price - as they are very competitive and if not they will usually price match, 2) the delivery - as it is often pricey for large items. Also, if you have an issue their on the same Island.

I would go with the Samsung. Great tv's.
They have really improved over the last few years, no its not just a name you're paying for. They are up there with Sony imo...only not as expensive!.
