Danp Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Cut a long story short, I have separated from my wife and moved out leaving her with our 2 children (8&6). So far I have been staying at a friends but I am getting my own place at the weekend and I need a TV to connect my PS3 to mainly for Netflix. Few must haves Full HD 2 x HDMI 1 x VGA 32" minimum. £300 mark, I know I will not get something amazing for this but I cant magic money from out of space. In fact, I am selling my 2012 128gb Macbook Air to fund a TV and a few other bits A couple of cheap ones I have found knocking about Never heard of this brand, but its a 42", cheap and gets good reviews VIDA 421080 42in FHD LED TV - Televisions | Ebuyer.com 32" Samsung SAMSUNG Series 5 UE32EH5000 Full HD 32" LED TV buy online | Currys 40" with a 2 Year Warranty Hannspree SE40LMNB 40" Slim FHD LED TV - Televisions | Ebuyer.com
rich_tech Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 samsung one for me, had a couple of their TVs now, cant go wrong with them usually.
crc-ict Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 My in-laws have got one of these: Buy Technika 32-248 32 inch Widescreen HD Ready LED Backlit TV with Freeview from our LED TVs range - Tesco.com Decent price and seems like a nice set. It's better than the Toshiba we bought for about £30 more a couple of weeks before they bought that. LED backlit, full HD and very thin. You might even be able to buy it locally if you have a large Tesco nearby.

LeMarchand Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Sorry to hear that. Got a Samsung too - seems great so far. You can shave a few quid off that price at Laskys, too. I'm sure prices have gone up since we got ours - pretty sure ours was around £300 for a 37" Samsung (biggest that would fit in the available space) with VGA, DLNA, + 4 HDMI. Was about a year ago, so may be imagining it!

korifugi Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Another vote here for Samsung Tellys - got two myself connected to PS3s (upstairs and down). Solid build quality - crystal clear displays and a veritable wealth of connections on the back of both of them (plus - they were both much cheaper than the sony/other expensive brand alternatives). Last one I got was a 43" Full HD, 2xHDMI, 1xUSB (with the usual connections as well) for £400 quite a while back. You should be able to find something a bit smaller for £300 easily.
crc-ict Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Only HD ready though, I want full HD If you read the write-up, it says Full HD and the specs give the resolution as 1920x1080 Theirs is certainly full HD.

AMLinington Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Personally I don't think you can go far wrong with an LG if you can find one in the budget with the specs. Samsung TV's tend to have display issues indecently quickly (at least the ones our family have bought in the past have). Panasonic are a great brand and go on forever but pricy. Everyone in our family has an LG now and not a single complaint amongst them.
Danp Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 I bought a 32" LG 16 months ago for £330 as a family TV, apart from the sound being very low (wall mounted so not ideal, sound bar to the rescure) the picture was great.
Domino Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Only HD ready though, I want full HD They've actually changed the HD award scheme since it first came out. "HD Ready" now means up to 1080i, "HD Ready 1080p" is eaxctly what it says on the tin.. HD ready - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There's no 'Full HD" spec anymore.
korifugi Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks, been looking at TVs for 3 hours, some details are getting fuzzy! They'll be the lower - resolution details
DJ-Jonesy Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 No price and says out of stock Wow shows how quickly they changed it, it was priced at £249 but bit pointless as its out of stock. Keep an eye on Hot deals UK seen quiet a few TV's on there at the moment.

HarryMonkey Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Have a look at Richer Sounds. They often have some good deals in their 'Sale' items.

mavhc Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Any TV that doesn't have a damn glossy bezel. Oh, they don't exist? err, my LG is quite good.
Arthur Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Any TV that doesn't have a damn glossy bezel. +1. I can't stand anything made with glossy black plastic. Apart from being a fingerprint/dust/scratch magnet and looking cheap & tacky, I don't want to see reflections in the bezel while I am watching TV. Oh, they don't exist? I suppose the next best thing would be TVs with really thin bezels such as Samsung's Series 8 TVs, LG's Cinema Screens and Philips PFL6900 Series Frameless TVs. http://i.imgur.com/ewXle.jpg
