[cite]Posted By: les_says[/cite]Anybody got any recommendations for a 32" under £600? just the tv itself, can't afford the home cinema jiggery-pokery at the moment.
cheers and no rush.
no rush? spending £4 on a lcd tv magazine is pretty desperate to me :-)
try play,com, the 32" samsung at the top of the page £599, bought one before xmas with surround (sorry) its the dogs. I should of added, I can`t do a link : (
Avoid LG at all costs - EVERY store I went into told me to avoid LG.
When you find the TV you want, it's worth checking to see if John Lewis sell it. If so, get them to price match the competition (for Instance if you see it in Currys for £599.99) - The bonus of buying at John Lewis is that they throw in a FREE 5 year warranty. Seeing that Currys wanted to charge me £8.99 per month, it's well worth shopping around.
Go into most Woolworths stores and in-store they have good deals.
The one in Bexleyheath has a good offer going, think it's an LCD 32", i'll have a butchers next time i'm in, into what make it is etc, after i've shifted one to another customer.
10-20% off of the sale price in Woolworths if you really want it, just let me know before-hand.
The reviews are usually very good and although i've not bought a TV through it, i've bought loads of stuff this way.
Also worth looking at Richer sounds, may be not the latest model but they're out of date as soon as you get them anyway, and BDL's right, when you have decided what you want see if John Lews will pricematch, and get the free 5 year warrenty.

no no dont use richard sounds, its the worst place ever! awful after sales, infact the worse i have encountered! and the closest one is london bridge, or sevenoaks which are both missions!

he goes through TV's like I do trainers ;-)
Very true, although they're generally not as smelly when they do give up the ghost. In my defence the last few have been, 'Managers Specials', which usually mean they are the ones that are left on 24/7 for public appreciation so the shelf life after purchase is always going to be low.
Have now bought a brand spanking new LCD 32 HD and so far so good, although I'll keep quiet on praising it too highly till I've had it a year or so.

dont waste your money on a 32 inch...go for something bigger and dont worry when your missus automatically says its too big...like other things they tend to fit nicely when you put them in place...

Good specification, 2 HDMI inputs, fairly future proof!
thanks bdl, i've been weighing up the lg 32lcd2 and that very toshiba you mention ('what plasma/lcd?' mag says it's the nuts, and it's under £500) - and that's not the first time i've been warned off lg (like my phone it looks good but shite really).
do john lewis compete with web sellers, was in there yesterday and their prices were significantly higher?

John Lewis will pricematch online retailers, but only if they also have a bricks and mortar store.... ie PRCDirect are mainly online reatilers, but they also have a couple of stores. JL also have some rules saying the price must be clearly displayed on the shelf....
I managed to get £500 off my Sony LCD through a JL price match, and you still get a 5 year free warranty, which alone can be worth around £300....
I bought a great Sony LCD 32V200 from John Lewis last year, £1400 normally just about everywhere but got it for £1050 on a price match .... I don't even know who with, just found the info an avforums!

Have a read of their policy here:
John Lewis
reckon this qualifies?
Sound & Vision
Some people have got JL to match S&V... It's a long thread, but have a look at the last few pages of this:
JL
I've heard Hitachi are pretty good
