Expecting delivery of the new telly on Monday (Panasonic TX70) owing in part to the old Philips CRT giving up the Jinn.
Came at a bad time as a million and one other bills/essentials have hit us...I say that as if it's a bad thing....but we're really looking forward to this new screen (with kids in the mix a lot of our nightly entertainment is watching films, rather than hitting the town etc...but we love film so it's cheap, fulfilling entertainment!).
These boards are pretty lethal aren't they? Basically the wad's been spent on the TV but I'd also like to compliment this with a 5:1 system (I also require a new DVD player...our current cheap player tends to freeze up 10 mins before any film concludes...the time's I've wished to drop kick the little sod...).
At this stage £150 is probably our limit (now self employed any extra's usually have to go back into the business...which happens to be digital film/music...but that's more the production side).
So...I've looked at the Sony DAV-DZ111, which includes the DVD player but I've read on here that it might be best to take the DVD player out of the all in one route to begin with i.e. amp plus the 4 speakers & sub (can add the DVD player later - pretty sure I won't need an upscaler as the panny should take care of that).
Really appreciate advice on a set up that fits in that budget (DVD may be excluded) but also isn't really, tin pot and shoddy but I understand the limitations of the all in ones and the budget.
Cheers.
