Son has £300/£400 to spend on new 36" tv, which ?

Theres so many to choose from . .

Thanks in advance . . .

You'll most likely find that you'll have 32", 37" and 40" to choose from with LCD/LED tvs these days, so I assume you'd be looking at a 37" tv?

In which case the 37" 1080p LED LG tv from Richer Sounds at £399 is a good deal, especially at that price range.

Should of mentioned earlier, we are in a blind spot so aerial reception is very poor, do any come with freesat ? Its not a problem if not, as he can always add a freesat or sky box later . . .

Do you mean 37", I don't think there are any 36" flatscreens

There are some Freesat TVs, but mainly older models (Panasonic, Sony, LG) or larger high end TVs (Panasonic and Samsung) now - might be worth looking in the Classifieds or eBay for an older pre-owned model given the budget

 

[DJBlade]

Ok, 37" then !

Freesat not really needed, can just add that or sky, just want the best tv for the money he has !!

 

[DJBlade]

He is itching to have his new tv for the weekend - so any others worth considering ?

You say there are lots to choose from - what models are on your shortlist? The LG is probably the best value for money - there aren't actually many branded 37s under £400...37 is quite a rare size, you'd have more choice in a 40"

He/We aint got a short list at the moment, so could he get a good 40" tv for up to £400 ? He just wants a good tv for his money . . .

 

[vickster]

Yes, can get something decent. Oddly, due to supply and demands, 40s are about the same money as a 37"

This one is 3D and a few quid over £400

i also like this but seems too thick for wall mounting.

 

[vickster]

It depends how far you are from the TV, ultimately if there is a big distance, does it really matter how thick the Tv is for wall mounting? You can get slimmer brackets I think, but guess they cost rather more. With a limited budget, you have to be realistic. If you want super slim and super high picture quality and features, you'll have to pay for them. I guess £800+ for the high end LED-LCDs in a 37-40" . You'll laos end up paying for features you may not want though, like 3D

Maybe see if there are 2011 models like the D7000/8000 floating around somewhere, maybe ex demo at Sevenoaks S&V or similar
