Thanks ferreirm and you're quite right blacksheep. Reading past posts it seems you can pick any TV and it will have as many people for it as against it. Still, always fun to read.
I'm also strongly considering the Toshiba 42WLT66 but a little put off by 'What Video and High Def. TV' mag. They said it's not too hot with SD sources, also mentioned 'slight smearing of motion', something I don't expect for £1450. My old CRT has conked out after 8 years and I'm relying on a 14" portable ( much to my surprise I'm used to and quite enjoying the tichy thing after a week's viewing) so I no longer have the urgent need to rush out and 'go large'. I don't intend to get HD in the near future and will be relying on analogue and my Sky box.
That said, if any of the 40"-42" Tosh.,Sony, Samsung, LG, were under £1000 I'd probably just spring for one right now.
Is it just me or does anyone else think LCD's are way overpriced?
