Let us know if you bought one or the other.

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.

You want a 40 inch TV for the bedroom? I've only got a 32 inch set in my lounge

I know you said you're looking for a 40in for the bedroom but i bought this 32in Samsung with built in Freeview HD and it gives an awesome picture on SD but haven't been able to check it out on Freeview HD yet.

Will do, although I we are leaning towards the 42LD690 as its a 2010 model.

Bit of a long story so I'll try to condense it.

Have 32" tv in bedroom which is being refunded due to very minor issue £450.
Upon measuring the gap where the TV will go we now find that 37" is the largest size TV we can get to fit so... The 42" we get is going in the front room & the 37" Sharp Aquos we already have will now be going in the bedroom.

I know its a bit of overkill for the bedroom but my wife struggles with reading txt on a smaller screen and doesnt wear her glasses in bed.

Went for the LG 42LD690 from richersounds, no stock till tomorrow so paid anyway & whats more got it for £449, so we have gone from 32" to 42" for the cost of £0.00

Nice one.

Of the two you were thinking of..i think the 2010 model was best choice.

Got the TV, pretty impressed, PQ is very good once setup properly which I'm still in the process of doing. Netcast is pretty crap unless you like browsing youtube, picassa or accuweather.
