TV £550 Maximum
Looking for a TV for the above price ,would have to be from somewere I can collect from ,such as Dixons ,Currys or even Sainburys as a example .Any advice on what models to stay away from would be a great help aswell .
Around a 42 inch would be about right or above if possible .

I'm a Toshiba or LG man myself - I've got a 42" Tosh, and it's cracking.

You'll struggle to get a 42 inch TV for that money mate, even Ebuyer who sell them cheaper than the shops can't sell them for under £550. Check them out HERE

My advice would be to stay away from those retailers.
If you can wait for it for a day or two you'll be abale to save ~£150 ~£200 on the price.
Have a look at http://www.digitaldirect.co.uk - that's were we got ours from.
Even with next day delivery, we saved £200 by getting it from them instead of the local crappy Currys.

Re: TV £550 Maximum
well the years warranty will be with Richer sounds and if you take out there cheap extended cover its still with them. 5 years cover for 10% of the purchase price http://www.richersounds.com/informat...supercare_info > I like Richersounds as it was built up by a guy who liked his music nothing special and not a rich guy after getting richer the company imo has good ethics
Quote:
Covered:
1. Full parts and labour for 5 years.
2. Home pick up and delivery (LCD under 32" is return to store).
3. If the unit cannot be repaired we will replace with a similar specification model.
4. Pixel drop out as per the manufacturer's specification.

Get on Ebay and buy yourself a top quality high spec used CRT model for next to nothing. You know it makes sense.
