i paid £700 for my 32". this years new TV will be 3D TV's. so dunno if you wanna wait around for that. If you got Sky HD it will be free when they do there channels.

think the 3d tvs are about 5k at the mo though

i did a lot of research and ended up back at a panasonic plasma 50 v series.
the led looked too fake.like everything was floodlit.attracts you because its bright but it doesnt look real. and they arent oled either.they are side lit not back lit.

an genuine oled will cost you round 5k up

speaker are fine on mine, the same if not better than the lg i had before.

remember if you looking at a tv in a big warehouse like currys it will have to go louder and will look smaller as your in a massive room.

LED's look great. But to be honest, until the prices start coming down and either plasma or LCD is phased out, I wouldn't look at buying one. They just seem so goddamn expensive.

If you can afford one I would get one.

But the next thing is already out to replace it, OLED TV's





They are so thin they think they might be making newspapers out of it a-la Minority Report

LED tv's are actually LCD screens, but lit by LED's instead of a flourescent tube. Very good picture, but definately wouldn't give up my plasma for one!

if you forget what they are called led lcd they could be made of cardboard for all i care.

they are thin so can blend in more, the picture is fantastic esp using hdmi etc

the only thing you can knock them on is they are expensive but new technology always is

I was looking at them on Sunday.. There is a definately difference between the led and LCD etc.. But I never tend to buy newish technology until it gets to about 3rd generation so they can iron out any little bugs. They are quality bits of kit though. Would love to get 3 led monitors for my pc to run eyefinity

I've got a 32" samsung led in the bedroom and its by far the best tv i've ever had , i've got a samsung 42" plasma in the living room and it walks all over it for picture quality .
Hooked it up to a samsung blu-ray and i dont think there's anything out there to rival or beat it for the price .
I paid £720 for mine last year sometime when they were £1000 normally , and my blu-ray was £120 when normally £180 .
Oled's will be the next best thing but i think they've really struggled with life span on them , only time will tell .
