Hi guys,
New here! Girlfriend and I are looking to buy a TV for the new flat. I've not bought a TV since before they were flat, just watched everything on my PC monitor.
We were pretty much set on the Samsung UE40EH5000, but then saw the LG 42LS3400 at a great price (Buy LG 42LS3400 42 Inch Full HD Freeview Direct-lit LED TV at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Televisions.). It AMAZINGLY has no headphone out and I have a good pair of speakers waiting to plug into the TV so sadly that one is out. I'm looking at the Toshiba 40L1333B now, which is the same price and seems to boast an IPS panel. I can't find any other huge differences between the two, apart from Freeview/HD. The Toshiba seems to have weaker speakers but as I said we will be plugging in an external pair into the headphone out.
I don't have many requirements, but:
- Would like to watch videos from USB; MKV/h.264 if possible
- No gaming, but watching lots of HD content (movies/documentaries)
- Would like to at some point plug in my computer and use the TV as a 1080p monitor (not game breaking, just an added extra that would be nice!)
Since I know nothing about TV's and I can't find ANY reviews for the Toshiba, could anyone here give some advice? I guess I'm looking for best picture quality/motion handling first, then the 'extra' stuff after.
Many, many thanks!
