Ok planning on getting a new TV as my current 24 inch widescreen is too bulky. Plus had it for 4/5 years now.

so planning to get one of these:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/t...6r74bdxxeu.asp

from here (unles i find anywhere else cheaper):
http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx...00&In Merch=1

it has built in digital which i want as i cant be arsed to get yet another box for digital. Plus i think it looks nice.

Anyway do you think its worth it, or is there better for similar/less out there ?

the visitron one from ebuyer was muchos cheaper....not as sexy looking tho

yeh but the vistron is listed as discontinued.....i assume that means out of stock tho and im planning to order one this friday.

well actually they say its out of stock but they also regret to inform you si discontinued:
http://ebuyer.com/UK/product/103673/rb/21884899864

the big warning at top hehe

they offer other visitron products

problem is on the 26 inch (cant go higher than that or 27inch really as dont have room) it doesnt list idtv or hdtv.....

doesnt it have hdmi and freeview built in?

doesnt appear to its not listed as having it on the 26inch vistron.

I tried to persuade my mum to get one of those Samsungs for our living room. We ended up with some LG thing. It's a good telly, just not as sexy. :<

Dant - stop - nooo

Back in a sec....

I decided on a Samsung 40 incher in my decision. Got £360 discount from Curry's through some website as well. Don't have the tele yet, its waiting for stock apparently.

I'll link the discount site when I get home.

Have a look at the Benq FP241W http://www.benq.com/products/LCD/?product=812

It has a screen much better then TV's, and has all the correct input for using as a very high quality TV... This and a high quality souuround sound set would blow the socks of most all TV's... It can do native 1080P - the best going!

thats nice...but its like not actually a tv is it ? doesnt have built in digital or a tv tuner does it

Im not upgrading my pc monitor atm as i need a new tv more than that hehe . If i wanted to turn it into a tv id have to pay extra for stuff aswell.... and its already more expensive than the other hehe.

Thanks tho will definately consider that when i upgrade my monitor

Seeing as the only high def TV is from satellite or cable atm - I do not see any requirement for an inbuilt tuner.... Why would you ever use it?

__________________

cause analog signal is crap round her thus i need to get digital...lol u should see my reception atm....lol

I want it built in so i dont have to buy another box for digital, ill only do that if i get sky or cable.

have to ask, if you are only going to watch standard def TV broadcast - why change your TV to a high def model now?

Not sure if you've mentioned how much you want to spend.

Heres the TV I decided on, and the website that gave me the discount. Have a look around:

because then i have it when i need it and dont have to buy another.

The only thing it doesnt support is the 1080p which none seem to. The only monitor or tv ive seen that does is the one you linked.

So im not to bothered about that. Also i plan to get satellite or cable at some point to get the hd broadcast, but i cant afford todo everything at once. Reason why i was gonna do this is its buy now pay july 2007.

hehe well i didnt mention how much i wanted to spend...but thats a little to high

however its to big for my room, i cant go much bigger than a 26/27 inch in here.... 32 would be pushing it....40 inch is out of the question hehe
