Sorry, another "what TV" topic.... 40inch up to £500
Discussion
Hi all
In this topic (which contained some great advice but slightly over my budget)...
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
...there was a link to this site...
https://www.avforums.com/article/buying-a-tv-in-a-...
...which said "Outside of buying a house or a car, there’s perhaps no more difficult consumer decision than choosing your next TV". How very very true!
As per the title, I'm looking for a new 40 inch TV with a budget of £500. I didn't think it'd be this hard to choose one but after looking for a few weeks I'm now suffering analysis paralysis!
I'm not interested in 3D or a huge amount of complex functionality and don't have Sky - all I want is a good quality picture and something that does a decent job of handling moving objects because I like my motorsport and be able to connect the kid's Wii, a dvd recorder and a soundbar.
Will be off out at the weekend to hopefully buy one. John Lewis and Richer Sounds are close to home and have a good selection but happy to look elsewhere if there is a "must buy" model they don't stock.
Any help / advice will be very gratefully received.
Cheers,
L'rs

Thanks for the replies. Ended up with this one...

Chose it partly because of the way it handles moving images. Got home with it late on Sunday afternoon, set up quickly and sat back to enjoy the F1 GP. Delighted with it (although would've been happier if Lewis had won!)
Now all I need to investigate is an upgrade to the audio - soundbar will be favourite with Mrs L'rs although I'm going to start by looking for a 5.1 AV amp...
