Hey there :-)

I must be one of the only people left in this world to still have a 14" television so I've now decided to upgrade and get something a little nicer and better.

Anyway..... The most I can spend is about £300.

From what I have seen so far.... Price shhots up to the £450+ margin as soon as we are talking 100 hertz instead of 50, or that it is a massive screen size.

I'm not going for plasma and not LCD as clearly I cant afford that for my price range so no suggestions to those please.

My requirements are a 28" model should be fine, that it is FLAT screen, Widescreen, and that it has a scart socket. Thats it.
I'm quite demanding on the Flat screen.

So can anyone reccomend anything, any makes to avoid or know of any good deals ?

And also another question...

If you have a widescreen TV, does it shrink the programme if it isnt broadcast in widescreen ? Like are there loads of black bars around as it is too small ? Advantages / dissadvatages of widescreen ?


Thanks for all of the help you can give me.
Its much appreciated,

Tim.
