Can you help me chose a tv?
« on: 18 September 2012, 20:45 »
hi guys, seen as i am a women and totally useless when it comes to technology i was wondering if you could help me chose a tv?
i only have £300 max and have so far learned that i should be looking for 1080p HD and also know it should be black! lol thats as far as ive got! I would like as big as possible, as good quality as i can get and no rubbish brands. Im not sure if plasma, lcd or led is best but i have found these 2 so far which seem to fit the bill...

these 2 are lcd. i could get an led tv but the biggest one i can find thats any good for under £300 is 32".

are either of the 2 above any good? or would you go for a slightly smaller LED one, think it was samsung.

thanks  :smiley:

ok that is good, only negatives really are that i wanted to do a monthly plan which i cant do with amazon and also if i was going to go over £300 it would probably be for a more modern LED tv but i am tempted. hhmmm....

As a general rule I always stick to samsung, but its tricky when you're on a budget! They certainly do the best lcd/led tvs, or panasonic if you go down the plasma route. Check out richersounds, theyre my number 1 shop for home cinema kit and usuall have good deals on. If you really cant stretch above 300 but want a decent sized screen I'd recomend this:

Not sure if they do finance deals tho   :undecided:

x2 for Richer Sounds.  I got my television from there.  They're not the cheapest, but fairly reasonable.  Plus when I went in the sales guy didn't feed me the usual bullsh!t.

oi u taking the mick about the plug again!!!
and i can actually wire a plug, one of the only things i learnt at school i think!

shame they dont do that Sharp TV online as that looks really good. I like samsung too, the one I had was a 42" plasma samsung but my ex took that with him when he left  :sad:
ive found a 32" samsung led tv which is £200 off so it was a £499 tv so looks like its good quality, not sure i can live with a 32" after having a 42" for so long though!
