What Tv to buy?

WoollyRedHat

Looking to get rid of the CRT, we've grown too far apart and it's time to upgrade to a sleeker and sexier tv. Wondering what is the best LED/LCD tv in the 40-42" range? If I posted a few televisions I've found on the various websites perhaps and you could advise me?

For LED, the flagship tv of the year would probably be the Samsung F8000

Heres some reviews:

Check out powercity mate

€370 40 inch LCD. Comes with Soarview and seemingly satellite recievers.

Lads, can someone enlighten me with some info please? I vaguely remember a stat for the distance you should sit from a certain size tv. For example, you should be x feet away from a 42 inch tv. It's something I think we are all way inside.
Can't find it on the wonderful world of Google!

Well I googled "at what distance should you sit from a tv"

and I found TV Viewing Distance Calculator and Television Size to Distance Relationship.

In fact there were about 37,400,000 results

THanks but is Walker a good brand? Haven't heard of it before.

Few of the tvs I found on Powercity and Currys that have caught my eye:

How big is the difference between 50hz and 100.. don't really understand what it means.

Moved from the Television Forum - the OP may get more help here.

I can hold off on buying this until the price drops to something more like 1,500... everywhere seems to have it for around 2,150 at the moment.

What is the sort of timescale for these to depreciate by 25%? Around 6 months?

46inch F8000 . was available in Power City Tallaght, last week on a special for €1550 (AFAICR).
You may be able to twist their arm to offer same deal....
Nice set....
