Please, criteria: anything modern, just a bit better than the 5 year old, slightly larger than portable, cathode ray box 'Digilogic DS0 TV1' I have now. Not knowing anything about TV's we were just going to go down to Tesco and pick the one around that price that looks like it has a decent picture, in fact this is the preferred route tbh.

Any advice given will be much appreciated. Post upgrade we may even get a Nintendo Xbox 360 PS thingy, a World of opportunities will open up..

Saw an ad in paper for 42 inch for £398
Think it was philips
Richer sounds worth a look then go to john lewis get the price matched and take the extra free warranty

There are some nice Samsung ones about, but I'm sure Plotloss will be along to tell you that for himself soon. hehe

I bought a 26 inch Panasonic Viera from Tescos for approx £350...just pop down and see what they have on offer smile
...or you could always go to another store and see what they have to offer and barter. As an example, I bought a 'shop soiled' power recliner today, delivery tomorrow . Got them to drop the already heavily discounted price down to even less and to throw in a leather cleaning kit too. Will only take a couple hours of cleaning to fix the 'someone's hair dye rubbed off' type issue. smile

Important to know what size you think you want/need.

After much deliberation, research and asking on here I got my in-laws (who know nothing about tellies) one of these...


LG 32PG6000

If 32" is your max size then you can't beat the LG.

If you're OK with something bigger then it opens up the field a lot more.

Basically you want a Plasma over LCD and anything by Panasonic is c0ck on.

This is the exact TV I now have sitting in my room that derestrictor advised me to get. And I have to admit, he was spot on, it's a fantastic piece of kit.
Although I saw a friend of mines 42 inch plasma screen in his living room at the weekend that was amazing in HD, I think I need to set mine up a bit better.

Thanks for the advice all (and the Soho comment, very funny), Mrs Hewlett who will funding the TV will be taking the advice and making her choice based on it.
