    Hi Mudlan.

    Thanks for the post.

    It's been a while from I have seen rear projection TV's so I'm not really surprised at the costs involved in repairing them. It's probably lasted you quite well.

    As you are probably aware, there is a substantial range of screens available which varying features, costs etc.

    If I was going to make a suggestion based on the fact that your old TV was not smart, 3D etc etc, then I would look at the new Panasonic TXL50E6B.

    http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/panasonic/viera-txl50e6b/pana-txl50e6b

    This is priced at £849.95 and comes with a 5 year guarantee.

    Delivery would be £49.95.

    Alternatively, if you wanted something a little cheaper, then a 50" plasma is the way to go and in terms of value, the LG 660V is really good value for money

    http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/lg/50ph660v/lg-50ph660v

    5 Year warranty on the LG would be £59.95.

    Delivery would be the same. We do offer a pricebeat so if you can get the same TV's with a 5 year warranty for less then our price then we will beat it.

    Not sure what you make of these 2, but very different products with the LED being more energy efficient, slimmer a bit more stylish with the plasma being slightly better for motion handling.

    Let me know what you think of these or if there are any particular features that you would like and I am also making an assumption that you don't want to down-size !

    Many thanks for your reply!

    Ya the Sony KDF-50E2000 lasted me a good while so I cant complain and could do with upgrading! 

    The 2 tv's you have suggested look very impressive, though i might be more swayed towards the LG Plasma. Internet out where i live is poor so the benefits of getting a smart tv aren't really worth it and a 3d tv is more of a novelty for my parents who will be the main users of the tv.

    Have you other suggestions similar to the LG....similar size and price range?

    Thanks for your help!
