Divardo Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hi, I have been considering getting a new LCD TV to replace our ageing Sony CRT screen. I am looking at 37" HD Ready screens which are capable of displaying 1080p pictures and having a number of HDMI connections for additional equipment. As I am in the UK I have been considering the Panasonic TX37LZD81 as it will come with a freesat tuner built in, which will remove the need to purchase an external set top box. In the future we are going to consider getting a Hard Disk recorder, probably one with a built in freesat tuner so we can record one channel while watching another etc. Is this the best way to go, or is buying a different TV along with a freesat tuner a better idea? Anybody have any experience with this TV range? Would it also be possible with the 3 HDMI sockets with this TV to connect a DVD player, AV System, Hard Disk Recorder and Playstation 3 up easily?

ToneKnee Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 You wouldn't need a DVD player if you have a Playstation 3. Plus, the PS3 has a 'PlayTV' like dongle which you plug into it which gives you HDD recording capabilities etc. Worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divardo Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 For the television set I would say ?800. Further on from that the AV system about ?250 and Speakers ?100. Looks interesting NeoFlux, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
