Hey guys,

I need a little help with the purchase of a TV.

It's nothing exciting, however i don't really know what i'm talking about.

When i bought my last TV i went in with a budget of £600 for a TV & ended up spending double that for a TV & Soundbar at Richer Sounds.
(I'm a sucker for shiny gadgets)!!

Now that was all great & the TV is great & so was the service, but for the purposes of what i need the TV for this time, i'm going totally the other end & going bargain basement.

It's only a TV for the bedroom, to be watched in the evenings at bedtime, there isn't an aerial in the bedroom so i'll need to either get an aerial port put in, or one of those plug in ones.
I have a Firestick & really good Wifi throughout the house, it'll be purely for watching the odd film, so to avoid using the Firestick it'd be nice to have smart functionality for Netflix/on demand & Amazon purposes.

I've been looking online for some TV's & i'm presuming sticking with a 'brand name' is probably best.

These are the 3 i'm looking at, but i can't fathom the difference between them, 2 from Richer Sounds, 1 from Currys, all are 32"

I'll have to order online either way.

I wouldn't mind spending a little more & going for something bigger but don't need a 50-60" screen!

The Currys one is only 720p as is the Toshiba 32WL3A63 from Richer Sounds.

The Toshiba 32LL3A63 from Richer is full HD 1080p

ETA - this LG is well worth considering at Richer too, is also full HD and has a quad core processor over the dual core of the Toshiba

Thanks, i'll discount the Currys one then as i'd rather be full HD.
That second one you've posted looks worth the extra ££.

Yes, no point in not having Full HD.

Personally, I'm a big fan of LG TVs and monitors (and Richer Sounds for TVs).

I'd go for the LG over the Toshiba myself.

Thanks, we have an LG TV we bought from Richer Sounds a couple of years back, apart from breaking when it first got switched on, which Richer swapped over without quibble, it's been great.
