Default LCD TV recommendations

I know there are some knowledgable folks here so I wan't some advice.

I am hovering over buying this TV here Toshiba 32WL66 - Product Summary - Digital Direct UK.

Can anyone think of a better TV for similar money?? I was going to go for a Samsung for £690 but all I can see that it offers on top of this one is a freeview which I won't use.

There is the exact same Toshiba with freeview here Toshiba 32WLT66 - Product Summary - Digital Direct UK for over £100 more. I cannot see any difference between the two than the extra freeview.

Thoughts?? Should I go ahead and buy??

I'll guarantee, whatever you buy, in four months' time you'll see something better and cheaper.

It's not worth worrying about.

So true!! I read a review for the one with freeview and they said it was top notch so I think I'm gonna go ahead anyway. Seems like a good deal if anyone else is looking right now.

I bought the previous model, the WLT 58 (in 37") and it's a great TV

I have the 42WLT66 and as an all round package I think it is great value.

I have the 32"WLT 66 and its a great TV .only difference between that and the WL is the colour (silver vs black)and the WLT as a digital tuner as well as analogue.

ps I paid £900 for mine back in april , its now down to less than £700

John Lewis stock the set you are considering, so if the place you linked to have a physical shop (not just net based), have them in stock for sale today and are within a certain distance (can't remember, you go check) of any JL store, then you can get JL to price-match and benefit from a free no-quibble 5 year guarantee

That would have been cool but I have no car at the moment and I'm not too sure if they do have a shop. I've gone and bought it now anyway so I'll just look forward to it being redundant in 4 months time
