26in-32in Telly - which?

[gaz]

Looking for one for my bedroom, for both watching TV and playing on the PS3 via HDMI. I've got a Hitachi Freeview recorder so would mainly be using that via SCART to watch and record TV. A bit worried that the sound will be poor on a TV of this size, the reviews I've seen say the sound can be flat and bassless which makes it worse than what I currently have (21ins CRT, but the PS3 graphics are too blurry to read writing on some games).

 

I'm wanting to spend around £150 so what would you recommend? I'm leaning towards this, as the specs seem better than most Argos/Comet fodder: http://www.kogan.co.uk/shop/26-full-hd-led-tv-pvr-and-digital-tuner-kogan-led/

I wouldnt based on the reviews you can google. Spend £50 more and get something you'll be happy with.

 

Toshiba make good quality tvs for a low price. Consider this one with built in DVD and freeview, 32 inch and very good reviews.

remember if you go for an LED then there is little room for speakers and the sound is pretty bad. LCDs are a bit bigger and have better (although still not always great) sound.

 

I just bought my self a 37" Panasonic with HD Freeview. Apparently they are the best in poor signal areas. Taken me 2-3 weeks of fiddling to get the picture how I like it but still not sure it is as good as the Samsung that I also have. I like Samsung TVs so would look at one of those.

Angelman's right. The sound won't be great whatever you go for. Try and pick one that you can add a sound bar to.
