Spec me a TV

Due to an unforseen issue with the Tv in the bedroom we are looking to get another LCD TV.

Max price £500 (deffo not more)
Prefered spec would include
40"\42" (not smaller)
1080p
Freeview (freesat would be better but for price i doubt it)
100hz
Min 3xHDMI
Fast response time <6ms would be good.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys\gals come up with.

Al

Re: Spec me a TV

Richer sounds seems to always have best prices.

And 42" isn't too big for bedroom..watching the homemade videos is better on a bigger screen (and only place to get peace)

I don't have tv in bedroom..but only because no gf there either

Here is a review of the Sandstrom http://reviewsaver.co.uk/review/SAND...-TV-1273165622

If you google the model you will find it for a lot more expensive elsewhere.

Just been looking for more info on the sandstrom tv's and have only forund 1 guy over on AV forums mentioning it. Looks to be a Samsung panel with some cheap electronics (possibly) so I will discount that one from the list.

Re: Spec me a TV

Sandstrom stuff is OK but its still a DSG own brand TV.

personally i'd rather stick with an established name

Re: Spec me a TV

Leaning towards this http://www.richersounds.com/product/...690/lg-42ld690 or http://www.richersounds.com/product/...42lf77starstar We do have the 32" version of the latter & it is a cracking TV (but its going back) So its either freesat HD or freeview HD, guess when I get to richersounds I'll see if I can compare the 2.
