Default Any decent HD LCDs for <£400?

Just need something for my PS3 & to watch films on, rarely watch any tv anymore so won't get a lot of use so don't wanna spend too much.

Anything decent for £400 or less with 32" or bigger screen, not fussed about brand name or even if it's a factory recon (as long as it has a warranty) as I won't be using it much, must have HDMI & PC inputs & be wall mountable.

Any ideas or am I gonna have to up my budget?

if you can up your budget to £450, Richer Sounds are doing a Finlux 32" HD ready screen with Freeview and PC inputs and a HDMI connection AND picture in picture AND it even comes with a wallbracket!


Great buy, see one running everyday and am absolutely stunned by the picture and spec level for this price!

You wont get a better deal than the Woolies ones, I work for Woolies (well until 13/04/07 I do) and it is one of the only items that staff dont get discount on, I expect that this is due to very tight margins on them.

Is the Techwood the one that's a re-badged LG or Bush or similar??? Will be in the market for an LCD TV soon and that looks like a good price.

Techwood looks nice actually, gonna have a hunt round for a 37", think I can stretch to that much for one. Seems to be some good deals round at the mo.
The picture on the Samsungs looks gorgeous, pity they're way out of my budget.

Got to Asda, they have 36" Dual (own brand) for around £400 which is HD ready. Ive got one in my bedroom and I dont care what all the nerds say I think the quality is pretty damn good!

Saves spending £1500 on one that has a few more veiwing angles or slightly better contrast!!

Ebuyer.com for the Techwood - if they'd done a 26" we'd have gone for that. We bought the Samung 26" from Play.com - really good prices just now and free delivery.

Right I took the plunge after reading some threads on avforums & ordered this monster Amazon.co.uk: Humax LDE-40A - 40" Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV - Black: Electronics & Photo

Gets great reviews so we'll see how it goes
