What TV to Buy

[Tony Baloney]

Anybody ever deal with Richer Sounds in Belfast? Some great deals on at the minute, the aul fella got a couple of TVs off them in the past and said they are a great bunch to deal with. Cheapest about apparently.

Fella in work will buy electronics only from them for the reasons you mention above.

Im lookin to get a 42 inch for around £400, or less if I can.

There are some good deals on currys, argos, etc, but I want one that definetly has mpeg4 on it so that I can get rte. But on all of the spec info theres no mention of mpeg2 or mpeg4. Are these details listed under some other definition or abbreviation in the specs or am i missing something? Do the majority of these sets have mpeg4 or is only available on the more expensive models?

I want to be sure before i order online, otherwise Il just have to pay the bit extra and buy locally.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Anyone know if this would be a good buy? £299 in Argos:

Sony KDL32BX300U 32 Inch HD Ready LCD TV

I dont know what size of a room you're looking at - but Ive a 32 inch in a 15 ft square living room and its just a bit too small. I wish Id have put the money towards a bit of a bigger one and I wouldnt be having to fork out for the upgrade now. That said - the bedroom is getting the 32 inch tv, so its not all loss.

A very useful thread.

Was looking at this TV from Tescos:

Technika 32-2011 32" HD Ready LCD with built in DVD Player for £299.

Anyone ever have any issues with a TV/DVD combo or have you ever heard of the manufacturer?

anyone got a 3d tv?

Treated myself to a Panasonic TX-P42S20B Plasma TV out of currys.  Got it for £530, not bad, love it    Anyone else treat themselves to a new TV over the festive period?

A mate of mine had to return two of these in the last few months because of a problem caused by overheating when the dvd was playing.  Ive heard others complain about similar things mind you with other tv/dvd combos

Buy Panasonic.  Most others are crap and Sony, Philips and the other once top brands have sold out incorporating cheap components to compete.  Sad

Looking into buying a small 19-22 inch TV for the Kitchen. I was wondering do any of them come with a recording facility now? IE. a hard drive built in? I know that on some you can record via the usb onto a pen drive etc.

I got a 40'' LCD Samsung 3D TV, with 3D Blu Ray player and 3 pairs of active classes for €999. I love it, internet@TV et al. I'm still waiting for Sky to give me the HD box though.

Feck thats a great deal,have you watched anything in 3D yet?
Where did you buy?

[AZOffaly]

Harvey Norman RLL. I've watched a couple of downloaded things from IMAX, and Shrek in 3D so far. It is disconcerting at first, but great when you get used to it. I'm looking forward to getting the HD in because I've watched soccer and rugby on the brother in laws 3D and it was excellent.

I'd say someone peaking in from the road would think we were all mad though, sitting around with sunglasses on

[The Real Laoislad]

I'm very tempted to take the plunge for 3D but was waiting for the price to come down,999e is excellent for the package you got and I wouldn't mind having Samsung even though I am a Sony fan.
I have a feeling my current TV might have a little accident in the near future...
