Not sure if this is the correct place but anyway...

Scratch the idea I had of getting a monitor. I'm looking for a nice TV I can buy to play a PS3 on well.

Seen this TV "Toshiba REGZA 32CV505DG" for "£350" and "£362"(£12 delivery) including delivery. Was just wondering what your thoughts was on this TV and if it is any good? Cheers.

Not got bags of money so can't go much over £350.
 
I have an earlier model, the 32av505db and I am very pleased with it. I know its not a direct comparison but something similar.

I use it for Xbox 360, upscaled DVDs and Sky SD.
 
Here is a few specs:

The only thing what worries me if the fact there is pretty much close to no reviews on this TV like most cheap TV's.

Also is 141 Watt a lot?

I wouldn't go for this if you will be using it as a monitor, would try and find a 1080p set with a resolution of 1920xwhatever.

The tv is probably alrightish, but have a look for the sony 32 v4000, which in the first google match can be had for £376. Would be a much bettter investment than the toshiba, and I'm sure you could find it cheaper. Have a scour over at avforums.

141 watts is not a lot, don't worry about it :D
 
Everyone seems to recommend that Sony so I'd say it's definitely worth a look. That set the Toshiba Regza 32av (which I suspect isn't all that different from the CV) can be had for £320 and shouldn't be over looked.

It won't be for a monitor. It will just be playing a PS3 and watching some DVD's.

(not BlueRay DVD's as I can't afford them)

I have just seen the TV in Comet for £330. Can someone confirm if this is the same TV?
