Default Opinions on High Definition TV

Was just hoping to get any opinions.

I'm thinking of buying this 37" Toshiba HD LCD TV

http://www.rgbdirect.co.uk/Referrer....ReferrerCode=2

Resolution looks very good at 1366 x 768 and also has 2 HDMI inputs.

I've been using a Toshiba 36" CRT for over 3 years now and have been very impressed with it.

Anyone got this set or know anything about it??

I'm also selling my 2 Panasonic Viera 32" LCDs with built-in Freeview in the for sale section at a very good price.

Take a look here http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...97#post5180497

Cheers

Hanley

Yes I have got this tv. Bought it after seeing over 1200 posts about it over on avforums.co.uk.

It's an excellent set, and you can probably get John Lewis to price-match it. They advertise it on their website for £1995 but i got it for £1573. And that's with the standard 5-year warranty that John Lewis give with all their tellys.

Looks as though it has all the good specs alright. That HD Scart lead is a bit pricey!

HDMI leads are a bit pricey, be easier to run cables though as they look like a USB lead, hoepfully a lot easier to hide than a fat scart lead

Did you get John lewis to price match at £1573??

If so, who was the price match with? I went into John Lewis in the Trafford Centre today and they refused to price match a website, only a store price.

I did indeed get the price-match @ £1573.

I got it by phoning the Glasgow store (my nearest store), and telling them i'd heard their Trafford Centre store was doing a price match. They phoned me back an hour later and said they would do it for that price too!

I have no idea who Trafford Centre was price-matching with, but i believe JL only lower their price for 28 days. Have a look @ the thread on avfroums.com & you might find the info you need.
