For nearly six years, I've had good service from my Toshiba Regza 32av615db. But for the last few months, it's beeen showing it's age and is getting worse, so want to have an idea of where to turn when it eventually gives up the ghost.
My needs are basic – watching Sky HD, DVDs (no Blu Rays), Netflix via Apple TV, and that's about it. All I'm going to be fussy about is motion blur when watching football, as I don't want that. Looking at either another 32in set, possibly 40, but no bigger than that. No real budget in mind, it is what it needs to be, but ideally under £300.
Having looked around, am I right in thinking I'm not going to do much better than the Samsung UE32H5000/UE40H5000? Reviews seem positive, only downside I can see is that it's only got two HDMI ports – if we ever got a Blu Ray player, we'd have one cable too many.
That said, with no Blu Ray and with the size of set I'm looking at, should I be looking at 'HD ready' 720p, like I've got now? Know full HD would future proof to an extent, but if it's of no benefit to me and I can save a few quid, should I look at that?
Or, for the money of the Samsung, am I just as well getting that and having full HD as a bonus, as I won't find better for less?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
