My new Samsung 26" LCD

Datamonkey you got a very good deal from the highstreet then - everyone down in southampton wouldnt move away from their £800+ prices even though I mentioned several websites advertising for 640ish, so very well done
Cant remember what the difference is between the HD850 and 950 upscaling dvd players (both with hdmi) but both are around the £100, or are you meaning a sammy upscaling dvd recorder? The 850 I can recommend highly. I realise my prices are from the web again, but 60% more for a dvd player seems very steep even for high street prices.

The HD950 is just a dvd player like the 850, but its black lol, im moving away from silver consumable goods now, so 90ies lol.
Its a slightly better spec, but looks better in black as well.
Will be ordering it from the t'interweb, a lot cheaper than in the shops plus its in stock on sites, only reason i didnt go for the tv from the web was the waiting game. plus i have all of next week off work to play with the xbox when it gets here

I knew a mate from uni that worked in the shop I orderd it from. I helped him a lot with his programming work in the first year of study so he kinda helped me out
He went out back somewhere and came back and agreed to do it for £940 Got about £110 off. I was quite surprised my self and just went with it lol I think he just used his staff discount card so....Went for the 32" The dvdplayer he threw in becuase I took a printout of the deal on the web in, he just sorted that out when we were doing the paper work lol
Its good to know these kinda people
Oh ok, well we'll see. Xbox 360 tomorrow yay! Got it from HMV, went in today and they said they got 30 preorders and only 10 consoles in so I was very lucky to get one, paid for it in full now all I need to do is pick it up. I'm pulling a allnighter and going on earliest bus to fetch it, I'm hoping they open early.
I also got given a DVD recorder (brand new almost) from my gran cos she don't know how to use it. Anyway I thought great I finally can record freeview just to realise that it probs won't work because freeview is built into the TV and I have no way to getting freeview to the recorder...

right guys Im looking at a site now which is offering the LE26R51BD model for £749 on a buy now and pay is 9 months. Before I even think of pressing the buy button I wanna know weather this tv will be big enough to replace the 28" widescreen CRT I have now??? To me the 28" I have now is the perfect size but because its a cheap model I purchesed a couple of years ago its really on its last legs the Ir reciver on it dosnet work anymore I have to unplug it at the mains to switch it off because the buttons not working. So is this TV gonna be big enough for me or do I want to wait a little while more and save up for the 32" model?????
I recon my old set could last me until at least feb when Im gonna have more money (Im not skint at the mo but dont have as much money as i would Like)

First of all, you're paying £750 for the 26" R model? You shouldn't be paying anymore than £650 for the BD/BDX models. Since you specified that it was an R51 model, that means you're ordering it from one of the big high-st places online, which is very odd. The R41 model from other online places is identical technically. Unless you really like the very slighly different bottom bit of the R51's casing, then £100 is a lot to waste!
If you were paying £750 in a shop, then that's different, as you're paying the extra to have the advantage of being able to take it back easily if something goes wrong.
Secondly, your 28" CRT will have a viewable diaganol of 27" at the most. So a 26" LCD will be pretty much the same. If you have £750 to spend on a 26" R model, then for £925 you can get the 32" version. Something to think about!

It doesnt matter what the company says. They have to, buy law, refund you the money. Just hope you didnt skip the part of the ordering process on their website that might have said, in the small print, that you legally accept their returns policy.
right just hit buy now (well buy now pay june 2006) on a website for £649 Its model LE26R41BD. Ive just also found out that my dvd player (JVC TH-SW8) does progressive scan (woo hoo). I just hope I can get the TV before crimbo (website says due in stock 09/12/05).
And here it is all set up how i originally intended..
More than amazing
