Right, im going to buy my first LCD TV soon but i need a few questions answering first if possible before i blow my hard earned money on a duff one Im not a complete dunce when it comes to technology but im sure many people on here will know much more than me!!
Its just gonna be used for my home cinema kit, PS2 and general DVD watching so obviously i want a widescreen. I dont want to spend anything over £550 if possible. Right here goes:
1) Does the manufactuer matter too much? Obviously makes like Thomson, Goodmans etc are cheaper than, say, Sony, Philips, Panasonic etc... but are they actually that much worse/less reliable?
2) What specifications are most important when taking into consideration things such as picture quality?
3) Are these "extra" guarantee/warranty things worth getting?
4) Are LCDs as reliable and long lasting as regular TVs? Ive had countless TVs before and had no trouble with them.
5) Lastly, if anyone knows any really cheap websites or stores that i could have a browse at or any recommendations for TVs then i'd be more than grateful!
Thanks in advance!
