I would go for Desire S over Wildfire anyday.

I have desire and my old girl has a wildfire and the difference is shocking   ps1 vs ps3..

Heard Samsung are the best TV's to go for as they are the leading LED/LCD screen producers.

samsung and sony share screen technology. the old samsung ones were sh!te but came in a pretty case. Got rid of mine  :lipsrsealed:

I personally have a LG TV which im very happy with, but thats just what i heard..

alot of it is down to the quality of the source in store displays. always better to set each one to what you prefer as stores do adjust pictures to make some look better that others (usually ones with a higher margin  :lipsrsealed: )

Mum is looking at samsung galaxy ace. She's 100% sure she wants a touchscreen phone. She's not after performance or anything, literally just touchscreen with camera, internet, and a few handy apps, hence why I said wildfire, although I'll get her to look at desires too, I'll let her play around with mine for a bit.

For TVs, which one would you pick then? Sony, LG, Toshiba, everyone's got different opinions  :undecided:

Let her fiddle with the Windows Phones too :smiley:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Yeah I've pointed her in the direction of carphone warehouse as I've got little patience for helping her choose a phone. I've told her to annoy the assistants there and find a phone she likes, then come home with the name and model and we'll get that one  :smiley:

samsung led screens are still the best by far for the general consumer... samsung and sony do make screens together but sony bought in to the venture... hence why samsung own 51% of the joint company that manufacture the screens... some of samsung screeens in lower modela were pretty bad but now they are incredible the c500 series for the price are amazing... and anyone that goes in to shops as mentioned by someone else should not go by the picture they see in store as the source could be crap or its been done deliberatly to force people to buy another tv to get rid of stock

Yes that was me also  :grin:

Sony have just recently quit that venture.

The new samsungs are nice... but having had one for a few years I was put off by their over complicated setup and IU. The sony i have now works with my ps3 and surround sound system so only one simple remote.

So I would bear that in mind also.. you may want to pair the tv with existing equipment! :smiley:

So which 32" out of these? http://www.buymobilephones.net/free-gifts/free-hd-ready-tvs.php

If the 37" samsung gets REALLY good feedback, then that.

I wouldnt ever go for a 37" Samsung anyway There screens are not made by samsung and are less quality than a 32 or 40.... If it was me i would go for the sony out of the 32's in that list
