Right, As most of you are aware Robb is in need of a new TV. Few people on here know their stuff so Im after some advice.

Im looking for a branded model. Something like Samsung or LG. Would love a Sony but they are mega bucks.

Size, really want a 50 inch. But would look at 47, maybe even 42.

As for quality, Im not tooo bothered. HD is a must, freeview is a bonus. I want the best quality possible, I think its a 1080i??

As for budget, looking to spend around £1,000. Maybe a bit more.

Will obviously rep kind folk for their help.

1080p os the best available.

Personally places like currys etc are a rip of imo!

Right what you want is a tv with good contrast ratio, so this shows more colours. Usually 10000:1 or greater is good.
In terms of branding, Sont get most of their parts from LG and rebrand them The only makes in the market that make their own parts are LG, Samsung,pioneer, panasonic.
Also the types of hd are 720 and 1080i and 1080p You cant really tell the difference between the 1080's, just one is alot more expensive!
Usually plasma is better for films etc and lcd for smaller screens.

Ive got this http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/stor...rmationSection

Its an amazing tv and in your budget.
Hope that helps

those 2 are quite smart.

does that sony have that 1080p?

big lcd with normal tv will be very pixelated mate, the quality will be crap unless the input is hd.

yep it should have mate.

i think the sony is 1080i...im guessing after seeing the pixles though so im not 100% sure.

this one is pretty good to:y: http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/stor...&category_oid=

the actual screen size for the sony is only 40"

bit over a grand though init?

robb say he is willing to go over a grand in the first post.

who was that directed at?

what do you mean?

300 quid is surely more than a bit...

it is a nice tv though tbf.

Aunite has a 50" samsung lcd, and she has normal freeview through scart, not even componenet and thats not pixleated, i ahve a projector with normal freeview and thats not pixleated either

btw my auntie got her 50" of an ebay shp, brand new with warrenty ect for around £900

I've been looking at this

£799.99
Plasma rather than LCD
50"
10,000:1 contrast
But its only 720p not 1080p :n:

This one
Is over the budget you wanted, but from what I know about tv's, the spec is amazing.
46"
15.000:1
Full 1080p
Freeview
3 x HDMI and about a million other connections

What i mean is the picture might come out a bit blocky and not as clear as plasma, It depends on the source aswel and also the quality if the cables. I always find that plasma comes out clearer from personal experience

is a bit much over a grand, got to agree is real nice looking tv, my mum bought one a year ago with all of it on plus stand, free dvd player, 42 inch samsung high definition, hdmi, 1080i high definition £1900, they have come down alot since then.

Make sure its LCD not Plasma,
serious.

The actual deal i got Robb was that tv in my link^, samsung dvd recorder, ps3 with 3 games, black serano stand for £1280 in the store

thats smart. only thing that puts me off is the review below on play.com.

samsung is the best in tv's for games. they have a chip in them that hightens the response time thus making gameplay almost flawless.

correct^

mainly due to the refresh rate on the games aswell though mate, but i agree samsung do always seam to come out top notch!

my Samsung rocks in Piano key gloss white.

i shud be getting a piano black one for xmas 32" with 8000 contrast :)

shud be mint for when i get a ps3 :)

i got the 37" samsung from currys for xmas....wanted bigger but im still happy enough with 37".

anything bigger than 32" in my room is stupid, so im just gonna get a mint 32" :D

will be hooking it up to my pc, 32" HD pc monitor ftw!!

i've got a 42inch in my living room perfect for gaming, and dvd's:y:

how much?

has it arrived yet?

make, model, price?

i think it was just under 800 quid.

bought it at the shop...dont get it untill xmas though so cant really give an opinion off it.

42inch samsung tv, have a look on here http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/t...tlcd/index.asp

What you doing with old smaller telly gaylord?

.......throwing it off a very large building.

What kind of telly is it though cheif? If its a decent 32inch flat screen come round my gaff and sleep with my sister?

its a 12 inch hitachi piece of shit with a built in VCR player and a wired remote control.

but by all means ill buy you a 32 inch if the offer still stands.

Spent the last hour looking at TVs, probably shouldnt have but fuck it.

heres a few I like the look of,

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/133083

this has the 1080p I really want, but is panasonic, not really my ideal make.

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129598

this one only has 768p and 1080i but is samsung and looks proper smart IMO.

buy the samsung girl pants.

You play alot of games...this is a gaming tv in a way...

also its beaut!
