    Is it the size or the budget which is the restricting factor?

    Only... somebody on the Hexus forums linked to this 42'' Technika LCD42-207 HD LCD TV for just £400 in their 'Bargains' section :clap:

    Cool, thanks for that :)

    Got something else I forgot to mention, wanting 720p -- around the £400 mark area and 32" I think would be best... 42" is too big - looks like a good deal though (the Technika!)

    Anyone else? :)

    I can heartily recommend the samsung pebble-type panels. My family/friends have bought the 27", 32", 37" and 42" ones over the past 12 months and they're all fantasticly well built, with great picture quality and awesome software.

    Highly recommended. :D

    [edit]One of these, it's a bit over budget, but with a bit of shopping you should be able to find it. :)

    +1 on Samsung. The company I work for does testing on settop boxes for the US cable TV industry. Our demo room, and most of our reference TVs are ALL Samsung. We do a lot with HD TV and Samsung comes from Korea, the only country that supports US HD TV specs.

    I had this Vistron delivered just over a week ago and have been mightily impressed so far for £290.00. The panel is allegedly bought from Samsung and tbh I can't tell the difference between the picture on this and my parents near identical Samsung.

    The only headaches I've discovered so far are a lack of audio out, it just has a headphone out which cuts off the speakers, and having to force the resolution over dvi/hdmi in the nvidia control panel. Oh I've not discovered a working code yet for the sky remote.
