Which 40"+ LCD?

Franco B:
Thanks for the input guys.

The 120hz TVs do look nice but they are way out of my price range, it may be a year or so until I can afford one and I need a TV soon.

Yeah I know Sony customer service sucks. I had problems with my last 28" CRT (slight high pitched whining only I could hear). It took ages for them to sort out a replacement. They did however forget to pick up the faulty TV which I then sold to my sister :)

Im going to go to a few shops at the weekend and see the TVs for real, I think thats the best way to judge them.

BTW Sharidan, all the TVs I listed have digital tuners in them.

Maybe it's a language thing between countries or something. Every one of the TV's you listed has the specific phrase "HD Ready 1080P TV". Here in the US, the phrase "HD Ready" in a TV description means the TV has the right amount of pixels to diplay HD content, but has no tuners on board.

Loafmeister:
I think that's a moot point anyway. Most people I know use some kind of external tuner (cable/Satellite) to view an HD broadcast anyway.  Of course, for those who want to get their HD via airwaves it's important, I'm just stating I think a lot of people are making a big thing about nothing.

To clarify with an example:  2 of my friends went looking for a TV and turned down good deals on the basis of "it's only HD ready". What did they do? They both got a Hi-def PVR HD tuner, which negated their whole point.


edit: added example.

ChadTower:

Both of my TVs are "HD Ready" and have no tuners in them.  They're just monitors.

HD ready is a sort of marketing buzz phrase in the UK at the moment, i don't think it denotes any particular features the tv may have apart from the obvious one.
