moor hopper pm me mate, can get a tv through work at a very resonable price might be able to sort you something out
Don't bother with flat screens yet, and especially avoid plasma ones, as they fade to half the brightness after a few years (some electical shops refuse to offer extended guarantees on plasma TVs because the know they would have to relpace them all!)
In the next 5 years or so, we'll start seeing HD-DVD and HDTV (High Definition Television) broadcasts, and you won't be able to get the full quality without a new TV. None of the supposedly 'HD compatible' TVs you can currently get are really compatible, as the british standard for HDTV has not yet been finalised.
LCD TVs are constantly getting drastically cheaper, bigger and better quality. Spending £1000 now will look like a waste in 2 or 3 years when the same set is £300 or £400, and monster screens for £1000 are commonplace.
My advice is to go to Tesco and spend under £300 on a cheap conventional (not flat) widescreen telly, then buy an expensive TV in a few years when HDTV arrives. Conventional TVs are miles better then they were a few years back, now that Sony's patent on 'trinitron' technology has run out, and you can pick up a really good 32" widescreen one for under £300.
