37" HDTV - Budget Models Please

Im after a 37" TV.

I was tempted by the Hannspree at £360ish with free delivery, however looking around :

On the high street :
Philips 37PFL5522 is available at £399
Toshiba 37AV505D is available at £440

Any other suggestions or recommendations ? The above is about top budget.

Which would you plump for and why ?
Any other suggestions ?

Will be used with my HTPC via HDMI and for gaming.

However all sold out now unfortunately. Just as my old faithful CRT has died and I'm on the lookout for something cheap 'n' cheerful (don't watch enough telly to justify spending a fortune on one).

I'd go for the Toshiba myself, Everything Phillips I've owned has gone wrong after the warranty has run out (& a £500 repair on a TV) :mad:

Went for the Tosh

Awesome. Put it in PC mode at 1360 x 768 for 1:1 pixel mapping too

Just got to fiddle with the picture settings now.
