42" TVs

[Gerbil]

I've decided to replace the TVs in my bedrooms and I'm looking for 42" models.

I don't need anything particularly fancy - just normal inputs, 1080i HD, nice bright screen, etc. I don't need any 'smart TV' bollocks.

This is an area I don't know much about - Does anyone have any recommendations for models & prices?

Thanks.

I have a Samsung Plasma. No complaints. Recommended.

I have a 42" LG. Cost about 25k. LG 42LM5800.
Also a Samsung 55". Cost about 45k. UA55H6400AK.

Both are plenty smart enough for me.

Agree. Samsung works well for me.

42" Samsung should be around 15k

Samsung make decent tellys and cheap.

Whatever you do - don't buy LG (lucky goldstar) as they are shit.

I bought my 50 " 6 months ago for 19K . LG .

Dumb Telli's are getting cheaper by the day, shop around, you'll find a 42 " for piss all.

I was at On Nut today, Lotus had a section where they where dumping Tellis out on special. Check that out.

Also Power Buy MBK is a good place to look.

Big C has a large range as well.

Spend the time getting around, its worth the effort.

Stick with the name brands.

Bullshit Albert,

I have the same 50 " LG here that I had in Australia, that one was still cranking along after 5 years service.

Still have it stored actually.

Plasma can run up your leccy bills. Check the power consumption.

On this one mate - I guarantee you - you are the exception that makes the rule

[Albert Shagnastier]

But you know what, fvck it. They used to make shit everything, but maybe they're better now

I also have an LG - 47 inch LED, nothing wrong with it. 17,000 B. recommended.

[Albert Shagnastier]

No, fvcking fair play. 2 esteemed members say LG is good these days - then that's good enough for me.

[palexxxx]

Fuck me, that's the first time anyone has called me 'esteemed'. All right Albert, what do you want?

[Albert Shagnastier]

A Panasonic

I bought a Samsung 41" about 30 months ago for the bedroom, 24-25k, screen went red after a week, Numchai replaced it no ploplem, was ok for the next 2 years when the guarantee expired then uncannily developed one and a bit later another line permanently down the screen.

,I bought a Samsung first and thought it was great, then got an LG, I much prefer the LG, better picture, thinner model, and better sound.

LED and both around the 15 to 18,000 mark

Seconded.

No, fvcking fair play. 2 esteemed members say LG is good these days - then that's good enough for me.

I also have one in the bedroom, they are pretty decent TVs these days. (used to be crap)

[Gerbil]

Ok.

I've bought four Samsung 5120 40" LED models. They're on special offer in Tescos (16,000 each)
