Please help.

Knowing stuff all about TVs and looking for a TV with one of those digital hard disc/CD/VHS recording boxes for our lounge.

Probably viewing distance of between 8 and 12 foot away and placed on a stand in the corner, rather than wall mounted. The gap avaialble is only 45 inches wide, so anything bigger won't fit.

The guy at Currys was pretty helpful but I came away totally baffled in the end over what choice of TV.

I think the favoured was a Panasonic 46 Plasma or a Samsung LED but is the LED really worth being almost twice the price?

It looked really good instore but there was no sound available and so please can anyone advise what to buy. I suppose that we could buy wireless speakers if the sound isn't that good from the actual TV.

Ta for the advice.

So Panasonic or Sharp recommended so far.

What about LG? We've got their 42 inch LCD in the kitchen and it seesm pretty good so far.

Everyone at the stores seem to recommend higher than 50 hz refresh rates - does this make a noticeable difference? I mean that, once it's in your lounge, you're no longer comparing it to the next tv in the store.
