LG 47LH3000 can be had for that price and it is a good 1080p LCD set.

There is no need to spend the full £650 on a 40-42 inch set imo.

We have a Samung Series 5 40inch downstairs and that is a decent tv too. imo don't bother with the 200hz rubbish they are massively more expensive as they are the current new(ish) gimmick.

I have seen the Samsung series 5 40 inch for £400 on ukhotdeals recently. It is a very good tv for under £500.

You are crying out for a Sony Bravia KDL-40EX503 tbh, Trade in a old Tv (no matter what it is) and you can pick one up for £650.

40" LCD with freeview HD, Gets good reviews and can be had with 5yrs warranty.

curently the best TV i can see is the Toshiba 40rv753

Lol i WISH i had a TV to trade in, we only just got rid of all our old CRTs last week

Bump bump

Basically i want a 40 or 42" inch screen with little motion blur (plasma be best?) 1080p Hd and Freeview HD built in, surely i could get that somewhere?

I've got the 47LH3000 - picked it esp because I'd heard good things about no input latency for gaming (doesn't do 100 hz and all the muck that generally adds processing time)

For the 42".

A bit of broad statement and certainly not what I've experienced with my 42" LH5000, whilst it's not totally refined with some types of broadcasts/programs it's works perfectly with sport which is what I wanted it for.

There's a gaming option that automatically switches it off so there's no lag.

Sorry I did not mean it is rubbish, what I meant is the way it is marketed means it is expensive. Not so much now it is all 3d LED now, but a few months ago 200-600hz tv's were marketed a lot and where the new(ish) product so where priced far above the rest.
