What 28" for parents.

My sister and I are treating my parents to a TV for Xmas. We don't really want to spend more than 300 notes. Features not really important just a good solid picture.

Thanks

Lucky them!

I expect I'll get slippers (again) from my kids.

(Can't think where they get their mean streak from. )

Now, I assume you want a widescreen, but how important is a flat screen?

Also, have you thought about including an extended guarantee in the £300, for complete peace of mind?

I'll probably get a John Lewis price match done. Widescreen is important and flat would be good but not a must.

Thanks
