New tv required

[ED209]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could suggest some TVs. My budget is not as high as others but looking at around the £600 mark and been looking at the TVs that Costco sell as one recently had opened near me.

The current tv I have is a Toshiba one from 2006, it’s still going strong but hardly supports any file formats for watching videos via usb and just generally needs replacing.

I would like to connect the pc up to the new tv for gaming, got a Xbox 360 with virgin media service and now tv.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks for the reply.

For size would be looking at 40” or 43” and for formats mkv’s would be nice as the current tv only supports avi.

The two new brands you pointed out, I have seen about and currently a 4K one for around £300. I currently do not use the tv for playing games and it’s only 1080p as well.

All our sources are hdmi, 3 should be fine as can either change them over or as you said get a hdmi switch.

Also increased budget to £600 now

There are some holes in your requirements at the moment. For example:

What size?: Around £500 will get you something quite nice in a 40" screen (Panasonic 40GX800), but at say 60" you'll be scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of features and performance because all the money went in to providing the biggest (and cheapest/lowest quality) large TV panel.

I have had a look and can find 40GX800B, is this still a good TV?
