Default Really Urgent new tv help.......

................Just got up to day and my trusty old Sony wont turn on and it's flashing a fault code at me. As it's 14 years old or therew abouts - repair is not the best idea.
Now the urgent bit - England play today and i have just over 5 hours to source a tv.
I'll go up to £800. Not bothered about what type (plasma, CRT, Lcd etc) but i just want as big as possible on a decent brand. Oh yeah - don't want a projection tv

Please help

You're mad to buy a big screen TV in a hurry without doing your research on make/model and then on price - you're bound to end up not getting the best deal, and £800 is a lot of money (to me, at least!)

Why not just go round to a mate's house or down the pub, then buy a new TV during the week at your leisure?

Another vote for the Samsung R7 series. I have a 32" R74 and it's a beauty. You can get a price from Pricerunner, but I doubt any shop would have one availabe today for that money.
