    TV's went pop, need a new one.

    looking for a 32/37" LCD.
    needs to be 1080p.
    DVI input would be nice

    i've been looking at these, but is the price too low?

    budget of £500 maximum, less is better of course
    recommendations are definitely welcome!

    I'm sure you can get the first one a lil cheaper on a couple of other sites. (check reevoo for the latest prices and sites).

    Second one is a good tv, would recommend - the LG LH7000 if you could stretch a bit

    £530 is a bit steep for a TV imo.

    i'm just merely stating i've never heard of them.

    we don't have a Richer Sounds anywhere near here so i couldn't pick one up in store anyway.

    also.. another question i forgot to ask.

    HDMI cables, are the value ones just as good?

    Yeah, appears Newcastle is the nearest. Pity, because they're well worth a visit.

    You should at least go and see these televisions before you consider buying them, and check reviews as well. For a 32" £500 is a very reasonable budget, you'll easily be able to get something very good for that.

    Sound quality on the LG is much better than on the Samsung, but otherwise both cracking bits of kit
