Title: New TV opinions...
Post by: blackviper90210 on 10 April 2012, 13:02:36
Hi all,

SWMBO wants a tv in the bedroom asap  ::)

We're looking at getting a 32" model with a price tag of no more than £200.

Any opinions on what to get or avoid please?


TIA :y

Got one of these for £199 for my other half (not sure which model) also got the free delivery with it.

Obviously it will never compete with a 1080p 42" screen but I must admit to being rather impressed with the picture qualiry, nice and sharp picture, plenty of connections, ideal for a bedroom.

Saw one issue on a film (Bodygaurd) the hair in on the singers sister when she admitted to the contract on her. It when all shaeded in a low light shot, but not seen anything else to complain of.

Much as I dislike them try Currys - bought a 32" Toshiba there a couple of months back for £199 - haggle with them :y

Your joking aren't you?  A toddler and a baby in the house and all I get is "I'm tired" & "the kids are in the next room" ::)  ;D ;D ;D

32 inch in bedroom is OTT I think. Should not be the main focal point I would suggest.

17 to 19 inch max surely.

Depends on size of room and whether or not wall mounted I suppose but maybe read a few books and other pastimes.

I personally don't want one in the room, but SWMBO does ???

The bedroom is quite large and will be wall mounted. We borrowed a 19" off a friend recently, but was like a postage stamp on the wall ::)

Not forgetting the other one-liners they also give Dave!

You can't afford to be exhausted tonight, you've got all those DIY jobs you said you'd do tomorow.
I can't tonight, I've work early tomorow.
Seriously, do you ever think of my feelings at all - not used when you've bought her shoes earlier though  ::) ;D

Dave, whatever you do, don't get a 'large screen' LCD type TV, look at the hassle I ended up having with 'ghosting' >:(

Yep, had most of them too Mike ::)

If I had any say I'd not bother with a tv in the room, barely watch the one in the lounge, tbh. :(

At the end of the day there is probably not a lot to do in Bromsgrove anyhow - go for a Curry's Logika

You concidered a projector set-up on a white wall rather than a 'TV on the wall', you could fit the projector on the roof out of the way ::) ;)

Funny enough, that is the one SWMBO is going on about, but a link to eBuyer on here, had a nosey round and for 209, can get one with pvr etc etc.  Will let SWMBO decide, she wants it ::)

Thanks for all the advice guys, much appreciated :y
