Hey guys, I've used AV a lot in the past for classifieds, but this is my first post in a forum actually asking for advice and so on, so apologies if I overlook a forum rule or posting etiquette with this topic!
Basically I've decided I want to buy a new TV at the end of the summer. At the moment I have a Samsung LE26R87 (Samsung LE26R87 - 26" Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV - With: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo) Which has been ok, but I always wish I'd waited and gotten a bigger screen, and as well as that, I've not been blown away by the quality, I often find it too dark or washed out, even after playing around with the options.
Anyway, Im trying to find a good compromise between a respectable set, whilst making an increase in size. I know that sounds obvious, but I've noticed that some larger TV's seem to look far worse than mine when playing games, so I don't want to make a sacrifice in quality just for the sake of size if that ends up being the case
The set will exclusively be used for playing Xbox and PS3 on, so I've no real interest in it having any extras like being Freeview ready, etc. I've set myself a vague budget of around the £600ish mark - I've (perhaps naively) decided I might be able to get about £180ish for my old TV and then I could save over the summer. Still, I really don't know what that will get me, so I'd be slightly willing to evaluate that, although being a student, I can't go wild!
Woah, that's ended up being an essay, should have just written "Want an amazing TV for 600 quid to play games on"
Cheers people!
