My flat Samsung TV is on it's way to TV heaven. The monitor has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

The insurance company is giving me a voucher worth €1. 047 to go towards a new set. I have an appointment tomorrow morning with the shop and was wondering whether anyone has any tips on how to choose a Led TV ?

There is so much advise on internet, however advise and tips always come in useful, when confronted with sellers' tricks and techniques.:fp:
 
well my only tip is: the size of a TV screen is the distance of its diagonal.....some people don't know that.

Here's a recent buying guide.

I have an lcd and really like it. It is only a 28 inch one, which everyone thinks is little, but it is perfect for the bedroom (no tv in living room. ) it was cheap and I got from Tiger Direct, but that site is not as low on prices as they used to be.

Lcd uses the least energy.

I have a list :

LCD
HDTV 10808p
Pixels 19201080
Size 127 centimetres

A neighbour is coming over to mesure the installation that exists and I have already got an insurance cover
(+3 yrs) via my bank.

I will read through the info on your link which does look very interesting. Tx:up:
 
When shopping for such things I do my research on Amazon. They generally have good product descriptions, you can read customer reviews and you can get a price check. Even if you don't buy from them at least you can go to the local shop armed with product and price info.

Do you have much 3D broadcasting/things to watch? I'm not sure I could get used to watching TV with glasses.

I get SKY via the satellite so I assume we do get some films in 3D. It doesn't make much difference as nearly all the 2013 led tv's
are 3D.

Got a 19" LCD here.

It's the only TV in the house.

You guys and your huge 28" TVs. :p
