Spec me a TV please!

[DOD]Asprilla · 30 May 2006 at 13:54

Just about to move hosue and I've put some money aside for a nice big TV to sit back and watch the world cup, but I have no idea which manufactueres I should be looking at or which screens provide the best image quality.

This is what I'm looking for:

~37" (don't want to go too big or it will look silly in the room and no projectors).
HD ready.
LCD rather then plasma, as I understand the pictures are better.
Erm, that's about it really.

So what's your advice?

Free smiley for any help.

What "stuff" will you be plugging into it?

Sky+ and a Cambridge Audio 540D DVD Player

Well I've narrowed it down to:

LG 37LC2D
Hitachi 37LD6600
Panasonic Viera TH37PX60
Samsung LE37R74BDX

Those are listed in order of cost, but there is only about £150 in it.

So, anything I should stay away from?

I should also say that I want to wall mount it.

The BDX extension on the samsung stipulates that it includes freeview which it pointless if your using SKY+ so i't be better to buy the cheaper model without it.
