So far it's between:
http://www.johnlewis.com/230925667/Product.aspx
and
http://www.johnlewis.com/230929759/Product.aspx
But I'm up for suggestions. Shopping for TV's is a nightmare, too much choice. I'm after at least 40", 1080p, and Freeview HD is an added bonus.

Also doesn't have to be from John Lewis, but obviously would be a bonus if it was due to their warranties.

I got the 503 version of the sony you linked and it's an excellent telly. I think the only difference between the 403 and the 503 is 50->100hz, so decide for yourself if that's worth another £100!
Check out http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/sony-kdl40ex503-kdl40ex503u-20100603700.htm too, I used it for a starting point for setting up my TV for optimal movie enjoyment then tweaked from there - but it also includes a nice review.

Richersounds have the exact same model as your first link for £569, but without the same warranty obviously.

Yeah I found that too, but for £30 I'd sooner go to JL.

John Lewis will price match if you can name a store where the TV is on display for cheaper (not just internet prices). I did that with a Sony LCD a while back.
Sony vs Samsung = they use the same panels.

Me too for that amount of money, but you never know some people.

Thats freeview HD too but slightly lesser panel than originally posted. Not that you can get freeview HD just yet.....

Yeah it's not launched yet, but this tv will see me for 4/5 years so it'd be handy.
