So my gran wants 'one of those flat ones' with £1000 budget.

Hi guys, I was talking to my gran yesterday and she said she was looking for a new TV - went to curry's (don't worry I put her straight on that one ) but didn't know what to go for. She was just looking at the sets thermselves (i.e turned off) and then the price with cheaper the better ideology which I don't agree with when it comes to LCDs (although there are a couple of good uns about no doubt). She doesn't take any notice of specs mainly because she hasn't a clue what they are going on about - I tried to explain but soon lost her so she asked me to find one for her.

Now budget is £1000 and below. Ideally have an intergrated digital tuner and speakers placed below as opposed to the side to give a neater look and take up less space although this isn't a must. She didn't really care about hi-def, she won't be getting sky or anything just sticking with freeview however I see a HD set as an ideal because I know she'll keep this set forever. Size wise looking at 26" - 32".

I've seen the JVC LT32DS6 for around the £1030 incl delivery mark - slightly over but I'm £30 will be ok. What others should I be looking at?

Thanks for your help, Nick.

the JVC LT32DS6 is a very good screen. Bloody great picture, bottom speakers and HD ready with freeview built in although their is a Samsung that many people seem to be raving about. I do`nt no the model but sure someone will post it for you.

Sharp P50 series maybe, optimised for PAL/non HD content (ie Freeview), does have a HDMI input, so can accept HD sources. I recommended this one to the in -laws and they are very happy with it.

The samsung is cheaper out of those two so thats always good. I've heard theres a new version of the samsung out soon - is this the case?
