I want a TV, im looking for about 27" and i want to know the cheapest place to look.
My budget is about £500 but if needs be will spend more for a reputable brand.
Thanks

Firstly, any particular reason you're getting a 27" and not a 32"? Space constraints?

well its for my room and i plan to plant it at the end of my bed so thought might aswell save myself a few pennies by losing a few inches.
we have a 32" in the front room aswell so dont want to out do my parents

It's just that you'll probably find you have far more to choose from if you make the leap to 32".
It's only 5" Jamie 
Also, if you look at some LCDs, the plastic surrounding the screen can sometimes be quite big and chunky, there are loads of LCDs out there that have much smaller housing.
I'll have a look for you now. Got nothing else better to do

exactly
Have a look at the Toshiba 27WLT56, a bit over your budget but might be worth a look

what you need to do at the moment is try and get to Comets/Currys and see a few models that you like the look of.
Then get back home and google them, find some reviews etc. Then try and find the best price.

A lot of people i know recently are making the upgrade to HDTV with no real reason. Ie all they do is sit indoors and watch Standard Definition broadcasts on Freeview. Don't watch Sky, don't use it for PS or Xbox etc..

Only had it about a week and I love it..
Picture quality is good, sound quality is good, TV looks good...And for £499 you can't go wrong...
And Bush is a decent make aswell...maybe not one of the favs but it's no mickey mouse company

Its the same as asking what the difference is between a vaux and a Merc really, you get what you pay for but theres nowt wrong with a Vauxhall.
My dads got a bush and it certainly does the job with no problems to date.
