Help buying a new TV

[virtual-angel]

Hey guys and gals!

Im looking to buy a new TV and DVD player at the cheapest possible price and being a bit of an internet shopping virgin, im not sure where the best place to look is. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Im looking for a 28" widescreen TV with a matching stand and a DVD player for about £300-350.

Cheers peeps

When I want something electrical I usually check the local comet store a couple of times a week and look out for the managers specials (shop soil, ex display etc) I picked up my current telly a Thomson 28" wide screen 100 mhz for £249 in store price £499 at the time, also I picked up a fridge freezer for £199 in store price £299 at the time. I find this the best way to pick up a bargain, but you do have to pop in regular as they do not last long at these prices and it is best to pop in Mondays - Thursdays as these seem to be the days the manager knocks down items, my local Comet has about 25 managers specials at the moment ranging from dish washers to computers.

Strange - the Asda web site here (http://www.asda.co.uk/asda_corp/scripts/homePage.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0906204591.106659488 0@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdadcjejlflglcfkfcfkjdgoodgjg.0&intCatOID=-8909&bodyNavPath=/scripts/customerservice/csMainPage.jsp&imgName=http://graphics.asda.com/ASDA_Corp/topNavImages/but009_off.gif&imgWelcome=http://graphics.asda.com/ASDA_Corp/topNavImages/welcome009.gif&NotToCache=0) (click on Our Services) still refers to a 3 year guarantee:
