Who knows about HDTVs?

[Lord Janos]

Hi all,

Recently purchased a PS3 Slim and want the full experience for my new house. Won't have too much space and am only looking at 32" (I'm a firm believer in some TVs just being too big). Must admit I don't know a huge amount about TVs or technology nowadays. All I know is it should be 1080p, have a slot for an HDMI cable, a nice contrast ratio, and pixel resolution of 1920x1080.

Am not looking to spend a fortune on this but ideally want longevity from it. This TV has jumped out at me as standing out from the rest that I've been searching, and is at a really good price:

Samsung LE32B530 32 inch Full HD 1080p Digital LCD TV

If someone who knows about this kind of stuff could give some advice as to whether that will do the job and will give me the quality I'm looking for at a good price, or suggest alternatives then I would really appreciate it.

I really don't want a monster 42"/50" TV, 32" is sufficient and I know Plasma is supposed to be better than LCD, but all the Plasma TVs seem to be huge.

Thanks a lot!

That looks a good buy for that price, decent brand 3 hdmi connections too.

Panasonic or Sony are your top 2. Sony and samsung use sharp panels but the bravia engine is better in the Sony. Price wise you'll get a decent Sony or pana for the same specs. Not many 32s with 100hz at the mo so it's a bit off a toss up. An ex403 Sony would be a worthy shout at £349 or a pana s20 at £399 which is 100hz + 1080p for the extra ching.

Samis and lgs a but to plasticy for me and the lg colours are poor, really grey.
