Toshiba 32ZP46 or 36ZP46

Not sure of the relevance of the hi-fi, but I'm guessing you dont have surround sound with the DVD and use your hi-fi speakers? If so, the Toshiba 32ZP48 or 36ZP48 come with surround sound speakers so you could use these and free your hi-fi up for another room!

The Panasonic TX32DTM1 has recently won an award in the What HiFi best of 2005 awards. Worth a look, however, it lacks features such as 100Hz, progressive scan, component inputs. But is a bit cheaper than the Toshiba (which I've ordered BTW) but is still 32". With 2 Scart inputs you may struggle with your 3 devices though.

Hi mate. I paid £595 for my 36ZP46 from totaldigital.biz - they are selling the 32" version now at the same price (i got mine when it was cheap!) here:

http://www.totaldigital.biz/product_...oducts_id/1261

for the extra £95 over your budget (and only £20 delivery) its the best 32" I know of with 100hz, progressive scan, component inputs etc

yep, stand comes with it too see pics of my 36" and 32" here:

36ZP46/48 or 32ZP46/48?

Ignore the Dixons £99 deal, its a mistake.
