Hey,

I just moved into a new flat and obviously I'm on a budget!

I have a huge wall that measures about 12 foot wide, 8 foot tall, and I need a TV to put on it.

I'm getting Sky on Tuesday, and use my Xbox360 loads, as well as watching a **** load of movies, which I'm hoping to turn into a BluRay collection pretty soon.

So here's the problem. I am seriously struggling finding anything that is 1080p and over 40" for a decent price. All the good brands are marked up way into the 000's and it's just a bit silly.

My budget is ?400, obviously I'd prefer to go under so I can buy other stuff.

Anyone think they can find a bargain / get me a discount:DD

I think with that budget you may struggle to find one of the higher brands although ibood.com, so the question is do you want to pay a bit more for a quality panel or stick with the budget and get an inferior set?

ibood.com had the S Series Bravia 40" for ?499 yesterday. Sadly they are one day offers but no doubt there is something out there:))

ritchersounds have an Ultraslim Hitachi for ?399, but only a 37" it is 1080p though. Have not read any reviews, so certainly do things like that before you go spending your well earned cash.

Samsung....don't waste extra money on Sony, samsung actually makes their screens.

oh, ybrett23 is right too...LG makes some nice ones as well...I just would recommend samsung first.

Get Samsungs LCD 6 or 7 series (i have a 7 series and love it). You could go with their brand new OLED, but it is a bit more...just really really cool.

Two simple points: go with an LCD screen, and choose either Sony or Samsung. Sony is my preference, as I have one myself and it's brilliant. It's true that Samsung and Sony screens are made by the same company (S-LCD), but both companies use different backlights, logic boards, and firmwares, and that's what normally makes the difference.

Get a Vizio TV at Costco. I saw plenty of their 1080p 42" HDTVs for less than $1,000.

And I don't know about you, but I've never seen a good 40"+ TV for less than $1,000. Even before the HD days, TVs that big were really expensive. I actually think they're cheaper now than they used to be.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
