I've got a budget of about £1k and I'd like to get a 40-42" TV. I'm not concerened whether its Plasma or LCD nor am I worried about what brand it is. Has anyone got a TV of this size, how much was it and why did you choose it?
Currently I've got a 32" Philips 9525, Liteon DVD/HDD combo and Virgin Media box (both boxes are RGB) Also I use a Freecom Media player which is currently connected using composite leads but does support component. Oh and a Wii (for the kids of course)

I'm taking delivery today of a Samsung LE40M87BDX. The older ones have firmware that needs updating, but apparently the new ones come with the latest firmware and are fantastic!

Or just pick a TV at random, the results will be just as reliable. -- Andrew, contact via http://interpleb.googlepages.com Help make Usenet a better place: English is read downwards, please don't top post.

Replying to my own post! I have the TV now and it is fantastic! Upscaling SD is good, and XBox 360 1080p is fantastic. I have a Sky HD install booked for Sunday so I will report back Sunday evening on that.
Just to add to your confusion, a guy I work with swears by Panasonic plasma HDTVs.... Make sure it's 1080p, whatever you get.
Please keep us posted here, I would like to know how it turns out for you!

A bit below you but Aldi are doing a Freeview 40" on Sunday for £570, but its only 1080i. I think I'd want 1080p at that size or above.

Yeah I just got the email. I'd want some sort of personal recommendation as I don't think i'd be willing to buy one in case it was just OK, rather than top drawer.

So Pioneer claim - in spite the fact that the PDP-428XD Kuro model is not 1080p and only 1024 x 768 pixels!
