which sub £1300 tv

[G a f f e r]

Hi.
Need to buy a new TV and wanted a widescreen one. Was looking for one with:
Flat screen (v flat)
NTSC capability
32" or (preferably) 36"
widescreen
NOT rear projection (they all give very poor pictures imho)

Manufacturers I was interested in (in this order) are:
Panasonic (but not the PD30's judging by the posts I've read)
Loewe (have seen even 36" ones of these for about £1200 on the net)
Toshiba

I find all philips and sony models to be below the standard of the above (no matter what the magazines say).

Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanx

Hi Gaffer,

I may be a bit late for you but I cant recommend the Loewe Mimo highly enough. Great Sound, fantastic picture and you won't find many of your mates have one! You should be able to get hold of it (just) within your budget.

It is with great pleasure that I can (for a change) have a positive rant about a company!!

Last week I placed an order for a Loewe Mimi 32 with it's ultra sexy stand from PETER MARTIN. Their pre sales are friendly, helpful, knowledgable and efficient. A week later they delivered and installed for a fixed price of £65 (from Cheshire to darkest Kent!) and the very pleasant guy that set my system up (linking up my TiVO, DVD Player, PS2, and PC to VGA) spent 3 hours getting it JUST right.

And here's the unbelievable bit.... When I placed the order they not only said they didn't want my money then, they didn't even take my credit card details UNTIL THE SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED TO MY SATISFACTION!!!!

Great Service, Good Price (more than internet but well under list), speedy delivery and bloody nice people.

It's such a pleasure to use a forum to pass on a GOOD experience!

Best

A very happy Joe
