I was going to originally go for the 620 but couldn't resist the 640 with the 5mm bezel, wireless built in wish is handy and has a few extra functionality features over the 620, but the whole range a great TVs.

£650 for a 47" of this spec though is brilliant value.

Not bad considering i paid £999 for my 55" - 620 , i hadn't see the 640 so had to choose between the 620 & the 660  & the extra £289 seemed like a lot when i was already spenfing £500 more than the mrs thought 

Luckily I didn't need wireless built in as one of my routers sits on my tv stand so the tv, blu ray player & apple tv are all wired connection, while everything else in the house runs of my airport extreme.

okay...read all your opinions but I'm a Sony man generally and dont need a plasma, so the LED/LCD option is the one that I'm wanting to go with. The thing is the missus has been given £250 tesco vouchers from work so we're thinking makes sense to buy from them and put to a little. 

I'm happy with the 32" Sony Bravia KDL 32U3000 that i got a good couple of years ago, as its full 1080p and with the PS3 I get most of the players I need.  But we're changing the front room around and sorting it for a toy free zone leaving them with the older Bravia in the back room and getting rid of the old tube tv that is still going strong.

What would people be suggesting...32" is the preferred size but 40" would fit, and cost cant be over £500? I was thinking this aint bad but its from Trove?? http://www.tesco.com/direct/sony-kdl32cx523bu-32-inch-widescreen-full-hd-lcd-internet-tv-with-freeview-hd/210-7685.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=210-7685

I have a samsung lcd and a panasonic plasma 600hzt and all i will say is panasonic all week long and twice on sundays.

Lol the Samsung could be a bog standard LCD and the plasma being 600htz sounds like its a high spec not exactly going to be much of a comparison... People tend to forget each brand has model groups ie sh!te spec mid and high

Bit of an update for you guys and maybe a conversation about new/vs old.

I bought a Samsung UE40ES5500 back in Feb. I put it upstairs in my bedroom.

Downstairs in my living room I have my old Philips 32PW9595 CRT tv.

Now, I've always doubted the quality of the LCD tellies, when I bought it, I thought it looks ok and looks better with HD source.

But now I have brought my CRT over to my new place, compared to my CRT, the LCD truly is rubbish. It's connected to a Tivo box with HDMI and only looks about tolerable if I'm watching an HD channel. Anything else is terribly pixelated and the colour saturation is a joke.

As you can't get the essential parts for CRT tv's anymore, I'll be truly saddened if this one ever stopped working like my last one did.

It's something you have to deal with I'm afraid man. CRTs essentially had the right amount of pixels for an SD broadcast and the technology to reproduce the image is completely different to how HDTVs do the same thing.

Ultimately, HDTVs need a HD source to look their best. We will eventually get to a point where everything is minimum 720p but that's a long way off yet.

[damien010685]

I think the clue would be HDTV!! CRT was the best screen ever for SD

Panasonic Plasma for the connoisseur of TV's 
Black? You don't know the meaning of black LCD.
