    Samsung / LG / Sharp - all good (used to sell them). Pioneer or Panasonic are the bee's knees if you can afford them :biggrin

    If you could splash out a little more, I'd recommend the Panasonic TH42PZ8B PLASMA 42" ones, I recently bought a few for a competition for one of my clients and they look the nuts. I got them for £699 each at Curry's online. They're also the 1080p ones too so the image is crisp. Not sure if it had freesat though, might have been the next model up but that was well expensive

    What he said UKdarkstar said

    Also consider that plasma TVs can get permanent burn in. It's not as bad as it used to be as plasma TVs now refresh very fast so no permanent images like the red button icon when watching sky has time to butn in to the phospors but it still does happen. Also plasmas use a lot of electricity but not as much as they used to.

    Plasma TV also have better blacks than LCDs and are better for watching movies on, LCD TVs are better for gaming, use less electricity but do not have the best colours.

    if your going to watching TV's and Movies then I would get a plasma but make sure you get one that has something which refreshes still images a lot so you get no burn in.

    If your going to be gaming aswell as wathcing tv then get an LCD.

    That's just my opinion though

    Also those Panasonic ones recommended by Cockles are ace but cost a bit.
