Calling all you experts - recommend a TV

    My sis lives in Dublin (on her own) and has asked me to help her choose a TV. This is a wee bit awkward as Im in Donegal :D so Im looking for a bit of help here. She doesn't really trust the sale people in the various shops and indeed I have to agree with her to an extent. That aside Id just like to point out that she would be happy enough with buying from the likes of Argos - doesn't have to be a shop specialising in TV sales.

    She is looking for something along the lines of a 37" - 40" to replace her 8 year old and 8 stone weight telly. Her only source of signal at the moment is from a Sky dish (she's a Sky subscriber) and I have been advising her to get an aerial up as back up if nothing else which I think she will do shortly.

    The basics will be 37 - 40", full HD, quality brand and hopefully something that will last a few years and cost less than €500. But with the introduction of Saorview she will need a telly that is compatible with that.

    Which are the best type - Plasma, LCD or LED? What sort of brands are recommended? What else should she be watching out for?

    If anyone can even post a link to something that would fit the bill would be much appreciated as would any and all advice.

    Yeah I was having a look at their site but tbh anything that comes close to a decent spec is fairly pricey.

    In saying that I do need a bit of advice about the saorview/saorsat end of things and what tv's have it and dont have it. I'll see if anyone else has any advice on a good telly and if needs be I can copy and past the post above on their forum.

    Thanks for the reply.
