Which tv?

Post by Freebo »

Ok got a lil cash to spend on a new TV, Now i have 2 contenders:

The SAMSUNG LE40M87BDX

or

The TOSHIBA 42X3030D





Now, i can get that Tosh delivered for less than ?800 with coupons and quidco. I just not sure which one i should get, sacrifice a HDMI port for 2" of screen, or stick with the 40" with the 3 HDMI ports. Now ive looked at many reviews and tbh i still cant decide.



Ive even signed up for AV Forums but my confirmation e-mail never got sent :\ so im asking this question here..



Edit: oh and ill be using it for My Xbox via HDMI and my PC (possibly) via HDMI too. Id also use the freeview alot, i noticed the Samsung had a problem with this but its been resolved via an update.

Go for the best screen, even if it is the smaller one. You can add HDMI hubs and indeed anything else at a later date, but if you wanted to improve your screen you would have to get another.

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.

Well it wouldn't surprise me if Samsung made both the screens and Toshiba just put a box around it. Anyway do a little research into refresh rates, response times etc. If the smaller screen had significantly lower values it would probably be the better purchase. Remember, it's not the size that counts.

Why dont you go to Currys or Dixons etc and have a look at the screens in the flesh? If you can't find the actual screen, masybe there will be a bigger or smaller screen of the same brand.

I'm sure you will have lots of fun. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->





I'm not jealous though. Five years ago I would have been but now I have a different perspective. Enjoy it while you can. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
