Hi all,

Looking to get a 42 inch 1080p LCD.

Will be used for 360/PS2 and sat/cable TV. Budget around £500 but would prefer upto £400 (please forgive me if im not being realistic, but Im assuming prices have come down a lot).

What make/model would anyone recommend me, and would there be any price cuts in the new year?

Cheers.

£500 is pretty ambitious given your requirements, let alone £400

Best bet is the Samsung 40b530 which is around £480 from Dixons or Richer Sounds (with one year warranty)

Otherwise, if 42", pretty much your only option near to budget is the LG42LH3000

Or the Toshiba 42rv635

that 40" Samsung looks and reads very nice!. Only thing stalling me is th 2" .

Will pay a visit to Dixons etc and check the size.

Dixons don't have shops anymore - but you can go to Currys who are the same group. A couple of years ago a TV of that size would have been a grand, so prices have come down. You may find a deal through quidco (indeed for Dixons). Screen size wise, I don't think you'll see much difference between the 40 and 42"
