Got an LG LF66 42" very good quality TV payed 599 went to 499 week after have a look out for them as they are quite cheap.

[Allenm]

Thanks for the replies so far!  

re 32 vs 37 or higher.... what is the picture like on a 37" or higher when displaying standard definition?  I would have thought it would pixelate?  I don't currently have an HD source, and the only option available to me at the moment is Sky HD, so I didn't want to be confronted with a 37" crap picture.

cheers

I would advise that a standard sky box with just scart might not be amazing but standard def on an Hd box with HDMI is spot on

I've got a 37 inch sharp aquos from direct tv's i would highly recommend it. Sat next to the samsung it looked much better in the shop! They are quite cheap as well!

Ahhh  but was the Samsung switched on ?

Know what you mean though looking at them side by side in shops, i dont think they set em up equally colour contrast etc

Like you might say the Vistron is the best picture there would'nt you

Mine is surprisingly good with SDTV but with HDTV it is amazing

[TheBoy]

I know this has been discussed before, but search let me down, and technology moves on, so here goes again.

I am looking at getting a 32" full HD (1080p) LCD TV.  Don't want to pay silly money, but equally don't want to buy crap!

Anyone recently got a good deal on one they are happy with?

Cheers

You have Costco around the corner from you - worth poking your nose in. Remember they give 5yr warranties free (or is it 3yrs).  With my recent luck of TVs, the warranty is worthwhile.

[TheBoy]

samsung = avoid  in my book
dont like them and ive heard there not the most reliable sets on the market

Doug

I like my Samsung.

As to reliability, I will decline commenting, other than saying I reckon they have actually fixed it now

That's just asking for trouble

I will go have a look, last time I looked they didn't have much by way of 1080p other than massive things.

Virtually everything 37" or higher is 1080p.  Some 32" are still 720p though.

As its only round the corner for you, have a look - you know there aren't the silly stunts you get in retail park electrical retailers to make one look better than other - find something you like, then nip back home and compare prices

And you can treat yourself to a hotdog and soda for £1.50. Apparently.

You will discover jack all by comparing screens in the shop.

They fiddle with the settings to make certain models stan out to icnrease sales on those with the better margins

I really rate Samsung, I ahve a 40, 32 and 19 inch LCD from them.

As for a full HD

For 40 inch - LE40A686 - £739
For 37 inch - LE37A686 - £630

They do have lesser models as well e.g.

For 40 inch - LE40A558 - £550
For 37 inch - LE37A558 - £540

The Sony's are not worth the premium they charge for them and they use the same panel as the Samsungs!

And forget Plasma!

[shyboy]

All the Samsung sets online get excellent customer reviews. I presume these are genuine.
My older son has a Samsung 40" Plasma on his lounge wall and it looks and works great. No problems yet.
I'm about to buy a 32" Samsung LE32A457CID for £349.99 from a warehouse outlet, (The Big TV Shop), in Burscough, Lancs. The bloke seems to know his stuff.

Be aware that you can get cheaper......you can get that price form the high street sheds as I bought the same model a month ago for 340 from Currys (played them off against comet!)

Note that Richer Sounds have that model for 329.95 (if going to the store print out the web page).
