another qu on the same point,

iv seen tv's advertised as HD while others as HD Ready, what is the difference or is there one?

Good website for checking the best prices
There should also be reviews for a lot of them, although some of the reviews are probably wrote by the company that makes them

HD could mean any number of things once it's over a certain resolution it may only support one version of HD
HD-Ready means its will at least support the 2 basic versions of HD , will have at least one digital video input and one digital audio

was considering the Sony x series 40" 100 mhz, 1080p (full HD) or the equiv from Samsung.
Down here these are about 1900 fo the sony and 1600 for the Samsung (which is on offer at the moment in curry's/dixons for 1600 inc home theatre kit).
I would have thought a home theatre kit would negate any sound problems with the samsung ?

sony x or w series are way superior to samsung,the sony u and s series would be in level with samsung.samsung do 3 way and 5 way theatre systems which we try and push with there sets and as gnevun says negates any sound weakness from the set and boosts our sales

am still deciding on whether to go with the samsung 1080p (full HD) or wait for the new Sony x series to come out as it has 100Mhz refresh rate, the current x series only has 50mhz - and for ball sports, thats not ideal.
If I get a home cinema system, it wont be the free rubbish that sony/samsung ship with it, it will be the better mid/higher end stuff.

(subject to being allowed to buy this by the real boss!)

Would there be any issues mounting a flat screen above a radiator???

Yeah the heat isn't going to be good for it , it depend how far over it  i mean at 1-2 foot over it your at ambient room temperature anyway.
I'd mount it their and just keep an eye on it the first few days to make sure it ain't overheating .

WTF Donagh, I would say he is better buying a TV that p1ssing it away on the above oul sh1te

They're a pile of oul shite with the sole purpose of beaming another pile of oul shite into our homes encouraging us to buy the next fashionable pile of oul shte that comes along.  99% of us wouldn't notice any discernable difference in quality between one of them and one at half the price or even a CRT telly. Personally I would rather look at the wife or a nice open file that a big pile of oul shite stuck to the wall in front of me, or just as worse, listening to the big 50 incher the neighbour has paid too much for and stuck to our adjoining wall.
