I would like to purchase a 40" television. My budget is around £250 but the maximum I am able to stretch to is £300. I'm not interested in any Smart TV features as my TV will be permanently connected to my PC which has DVI & HDMI output on a GeForce GTX 560Ti graphics card. The main use will be for Freeview HD, but I like to use it as a PC in the evenings for browsing (yes, I have used a 40" TV at 1080p resolution with Windows and I am happy with it!) and PC games like FIFA 15 & GTA 5 (Once it is finally released for the PC!) Ideally I would like to get a TV with 4 HDMI inputs as I would like to keep the following devices connected at all times:

PC
Mac Mini
PS3
Occasionally a MacBook Pro

Something very important to me is the need for a responsive Freeview HD EPG system, as we use this quite extensively. Also, I would like to buy a model that will allow me to easily update the firmware (either via USB or better still, WiFi) so that I can always experience the best performance with the TV. I've always been inclined towards Samsung TV's in the past, but happy to look to other manufacturers is the model is good!

So, any suggestions?
 
Samsung UE40H5000. Only one I can think of in your price range. It only has 2 HDMI inputs though. You'd have to spend a lot more to get four, I dont know of that many tellies that have more than three.

I'd go to a shop (Somewhere like John Lewis) & ask about connecting it to a PC for Gaming. AFAIK Sony's tend to be the best for that sort of thing.
