On the cards,
Loewe Vitros 32" £1200 Empire Direct
Sony 32DX40 £915 Comet (online)
Toshiba 36ZP18Q 36" £1300 Empire Direct

I like the Tosh as I can get the 36" to fit in my room as its very little cabinet, 100hz and comes with a stand. Currys are selling this for a whopping £1850 at the moment

The Sony has a built in digital tuner, but only 50hz, its cheap as I guess its discountinued.

The Loewe has the best looking picture, kinda freaky style though and don't come with a stand. I was quoted £1500 in a shop today for this, so saving £300 by buying online.

So which one shall I go for, and has anyone ever bought anything from Empire before?

Anyone got either of these by any chance?

Cheers

John

Dan m8, my car is staying exactly as those clever Japanese blokes designed it to be
I reckon keeping it standard will increase its resale value aswell

Now, back to TV's

Get the Toshiba, it's an excellent set.

Contigo

Mega_Stream get the Loewe Aconda 9281 which is around £1200 from Empire Direct

Features include

Split Screen
Picture in Picture
100Hz
Auto movie detection
Digital Movie Mode

The picture quality pisses on any other TV in the price range even the PixelPlus Philips range.

I work closely with toshiba and all I can say is the picture frame
is an excellent tv, I would have one if I didnt have the plasma.

Contigo is bang on the money, Loewe Aconda is the best 32" you can buy.

AFAIK the Aconda uses either Tosh or Phillips tubes depending on the chassis version.

Get Tosh. If you go for a Sony check it's geometry very carefully (horizontals being horizontal, verticals being vertical etc)

Im after a 32" for a £1000 or less, if you could let me know what you find.

best site ive found it http://www.unbeatable.co.uk

Contigo

Right I have a tosh, my mum a sony, both about 1 year old - the Tosh picture/sound IS noticeably better, but the sony menu's etc are better. No experience with Loewe!

I was in the same dilemma 8 months ago and I opted for the Toshiba

What a cool TV, cause there are no speakers on the side it looks like a plasma....with the correct Digi Amp and speakers watching DVD is like being in the cinema.

Well worth the money!!!!

50 vs 100 Hz is a personal taste thing, I don't much like 100 Hz (plus the gun for Time Crisis 2 doesn't work ) The 50 Hz Sony Wega sets have a fantastic picture - I've got a 32" model.

Claudius

100 Hz gives much more stability. Way better. Do they still make 50Hz TVs in the UK?

Hey, what about a MITSUBISHI TV?
