Mine's dying.
28"ish, decent picture, that's all I care about.
Get a Samsung, good quality picture and very easy to use menus. They are one of the few makes who actually make the screens themselves. Sound can be a bit pants but plug it into a surround system.
Mate, what you really need now the nights are drawing in is a telly. 😉
2nd on the samsungs.
Sony Bravia W series. 100Hz, motionflow blah blah blah. Best picture quality of any tele and you can trade in your old tele at loads of places for a new Sony bravia.
We pretty much exclusively use Panasonics at work now & I have a couple at home too - can't fault them TBH
get a crt on ebay for about 30 or 40 quid. unless you're watching HD broadcasts a lot the current new tvs are a lot of money for a poorer picture.
