TV for sport

[SUDORED]

Hi I am looking for a TV for about £600 or less has to be HD ready 42in, whats the best sort of tv for watching football on? i sit 6-7 foot away from TV but the rest of family sit 8- 10 foot away! I dont do gaming or watch many DVDs, i would say 90% of the time we will be watching TV in SD as well cheers!

EDIT: I want at least a 5 year guarantee at this price as well.

OK i am looking at these 3 at them moment from John Lewis

anyone got any opinions?

1)LCD. Buy LG 37LH2000 LCD HD Ready Digital Television, 37 Inch online at JohnLewis.com

2)LCD. Buy LG 42LH2000 LCD HD Ready Digital Television, 42 Inch online at JohnLewis.com

3)PLASMA. Buy Panasonic Viera TX-P42X10B Plasma HD Ready Digital Television, 42 Inch online at JohnLewis.com

You want the Panasonic plasma for your needs - I'd avoid lower end LCD for SD and especially sport

You'll find them all cheaper on Richersounds then you can take that price back to John Lewis and let them match it.

RICHER SOUNDS has the plasma for £589 but that without the 5 year guarantee will JL price match that price?

Yes, as long as RS have it on display and in stock

I know this might be a stupid question but which have stronger screen LCDS OR PLASMAS? would one or the other for example be able to withstand a 2/3/or 5 year old throwing a toy at the screen? ive been told plasmas have the stronger screens?

The plasma would survive, the LCD wouldn't.
