As some of you may have noticed, I've been flogging my old games, CDs, DVDs, etc. I have two reasons for doing this:
1) We're moving away and most of that stuff was going to be left behind collecting dust in my parents house because there was just too much of it to store in the new house. Well, unless I installed some sort of MEGA SHELVING WALL. So, better to cash-in on it.
2) I'm planning to put the funds towards a spanking new telly of awesomeness for our front room.
So. Tellies!
Right now, I'm pretty much set on this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004 ... ROKL5A1OLEI doubt I'll buy it from Amazon, but that's the model I'm after. I want 37" because 32" always seems too small to me, but anything bigger than 37" would have me stepping into a whole world of "it's too big" and other such comments from the Mrs. Plus, anything bigger probably would be too big. It's quite a small living room.
Any way. I have a Samsung 26" currently and I've been very happy with it, so I'm happy with the brand. But, what are my other options in this price range? £400-500 really. Do I really need LED backlighting? Is 100Hz enough? What are the cheaper brands like? I've seen some cheaper Toshiba models with similar features, but my mate has a 32" Toshiba and it needed fixing (£80) after a year of use.
So, any suggestions?
For the record, I'm not interested in 3D. It seems as though you're looking at £700+ for 37" 3D TV and I have no intention of sitting there with specs on for, in my opinion, fairly gimmicky rewards. I do want Freeview HD built in, and I
think I want LED backlighting. I mean, it
sounds good. Am I eyeing up a shit telly here or what?
