Spec me a TV
Due to an unforseen issue with the Tv in the bedroom we are looking to get another LCD TV.
Max price £500 (deffo not more)
Prefered spec would include
40"\42" (not smaller)
1080p
Freeview (freesat would be better but for price i doubt it)
100hz
Min 3xHDMI
Fast response time <6ms would be good.
Looking forward to seeing what you guys\gals come up with.
Al

Re: Spec me a TV
Richer sounds seems to always have best prices.
And 42" isn't too big for bedroom..watching the homemade videos is better on a bigger screen (and only place to get peace)
I don't have tv in bedroom..but only because no gf there either

If you google the model you will find it for a lot more expensive elsewhere.

As Rockabillyspike says stick with the established names, I am happy with my LG.
