i'm just about to purchase my first proper t.v. so bit nervous about buying the wrong set, so any advice would be really helpful.
my budget is about £500 (to £600 if its really worth it.) not really bothered by 3d rather have a cracking 2d picture and happy to fork out again in a few years for a 3d set.
the t.vs going to go in my new flat which has a bit of small living room that is fairly light. so reckon 40" set is the biggest i can get away with without being uncomfortable don't mind 32 inch screen if the picture is great. looking for a set for tv viewing and for weekly film nights (possibly gaming in the future?)
been reading up on lots of reviews and i've nailed it down to a Samsung reckon the Samsung UE40D5520. because of reviews and that samsung offers love film content and good all round DLNA support and this t.v has 24p.
however i love the reviews of panasonic sets i have read but there online content seems weak and DLNA support seems rubbish, which puts me off.
however i thought that if i could get a great panasonic under £350 or £400 not worried about if its last years model as long as it's good. i could solve these issues with a playstation 3 acting as DLNA receiver, blue ray player and with the play tv add on freeview hd box and recorder.
or will i be wasting my money on a Samsung and should just fork out for a Panasonic? even though it dosen't offer the add ons i want.
