Hi,

 

Would really appreciate some help from AV gurus, am after a new TV and have been told that for 500 my best bet would be to stick with CRT.

 

Which TV would you get for the money and BTW I only use it for watching Freeview/DVDs.

erm. gimme a bell tomorrow i may be able to sort you out one ;) hd ready etc for around that price, looking at a 32inch poss with wall mounting bracket etc. nicam digital stereo. i can check if its in stock with my supplier tomorrow pm'd you my number.

Will give you a tinkle :)

CRT deffo for that price mate, LCD and plasma TV's are crap for standard definition stuff which is what you want it for. Can't make any suggestions of models. I know the Toshiba PictureFrame3's were the mutts nuts in its day, not sure if you can still get one new, might be achievable for 500.

i dont know, i bought a 28 inch widescreen LCD, think it cost me about £500 and although its not a make the picture is superb

 

i think argos are selling some decent LCD;s at the moment, they may be bush ones but remember most of the LCD panels are made by the same manufacturer. think theres a 32" bush one with HD for either £499 or £599 which is a bargain :)

Just bought a Samsung 32" CRT, HDTV, slimline and 100hz. Im very impressed with it and under 500 quid.

As Barry said for £500 would deffo recommend the samsung 32" CRT. Only CRT TV at the moment that is HD ready. I`ve looking at this, should have them at a local currys. If you ask them to hook up to a HD source does look good for the money.

What resolution does that Samsung support?

Also a similar version available from comet which is £434 but does not include a stand or inbuilt freeview.

 

Spec on it is:

I've just bought one of these babiesclick here a touch on the expensive side, but well worth it. :bow:Cost me more than that though. :(

You could get an Optoma Movietime DVD projector for £600 - they rock!
