Have a look in the small ads in your local paper - people often get rid just because they have got the newest model. I've seen a few for flat screen TVs recently while looking for something else



That's a good idea. I had a quick look on E-Bay & there's some bargians around, just a problem with the delivery

I cant recommend a Samsung enough. Got my 37" after Christmas, and it's absolute heaven.

If a shops the route you go down, buy online. I saved £200 by buying via the Dixons website than picking the same model up at my local Currys.

What? Why would you sit on the steps of Newcastle's biggest gay club with a faulty fridge - bet you got some funny looks :-P

Have you looked at Samsung?

I bought a 19 inch LCD one for £270 on Tottenham court road in January. It's AWESOME!



Yes our family have bought 2 Samsungs - a 27" one (now no longer sold in this size) and a 26" one. Both came from Play dot com. Hassle free purchase, quick trackable delivery and a good performing machine.

We looked at Comet, Dixons, Currys, etc, but went to Play dot com and haven't been disappointed.

Mrs54 and myself would one day like a slightly larger screen for the lounge and will look at Samsung and others, probably on Play dot com.

ps - the two LCD tellys have built in Freeview and are HD ready - so all in all quite a nice purchase and not too draining on our family's finances, but slightly above the financial limits quoted above,

Cheers for all the suggestions guys. I'm not sure a Samsung will fall into budget, though I'll take a look around on the web & post up a shortlist.

Bloody Dixons still haven't called about arranging to pick up this CRT, I want the thing gone ASAP.

What a croc of crap! Just rang Dixons, it takes upto 5 days for the head office to get in touch about arranging the pickup.

This is why I'd like to avoid buying online. I purchased it over a week ago & I'm stuck with it for at least another week. If I'd bought it from a shop I could've taken it back the same day

I spent a good part of the weekend looking around electrical stores checking out LCD TV's. I'd drawn up a shortlist of about 5 TVs I wanted to look at, the main one a Philips TV (£400 from John Lewis inc 5 year warranty) dissapointed me a little so I've ruled it out.

The main one I want now is a Sony Bravia 32", along with the Panosonic & Samsung models it impressed me most. Sainbury's do it for £450 with, I assume, a one year warranty.

Argos sell it for £500 online. Instore it says you get a 3 year warranty on all Sony TV's but no mention of it online, so I'll have a look instore later on

Still nothing from Dixons regarding the pick up :(

Samsung rock! I've got two LCD Samsungs; a 32" (I think) and a 20". They really are fantastic.

I bought the big one from Richer Sounds at the end of 06 cos they do a great service package, and the smaller one from Co-Op Direct Online - which had truly fantastic delivery service.

I'll go & take a look on Co-op Direct, I've not seen them on my online adventures yet. I'm wondering if it's worth me hanging on for a little & trying to catch an upcoming sale of some kind. This is the TV I've got my eye on, it's just finding the right deal.
