Hi There,

I have one of the Samsung 32bd models, it is vwery good, the best i found for the money when i bought it some three months ago, paid £ 518 at Amazon.

I am informed it has the same panel and chipset and the Sony Bravias.

I'm really happy with my 32" Sammy N73.
Even been and bought a 22" Samsung Monitor for the PC which is also really impressive.
Would heartily recommend the Samsung panels

A company my brother works for bought a job lot of Dixons returns, there was loads of LCD's in it, all mainly working and in perfect order, most of the 37" and 40" were belived to be returned because people got them home, set them up and thought "****, thats way to big" then returned it.

I payed £360 with 12 months guarentee where as my brother payed £280 with 30 days guarentee, i payed the extra £80 for 12 months peace of mind.

At the moment all 40" LCD's are gone, but i cant do anything now anyway as my brother has gone away for 3 weeks as of this morning!

I mean, mine is currently in the bedroom, which is way to big for the room, but for £360 i couldnt pass on the deal, im quite sure i can sell it on and make some cash on it if needs be!

If he has a decent 26/27 then I'd be interested. Might even stretch to a 32 or bigger if the price is right. Let me know how/when I can get in touch with either you or your bro and we'll see what happens Cheers.
