I bought an LG 32" full HD for the bedroom on Saturday. I was seriously thinking about the 40" but thought it would look a little silly in a bedroom!! It's not on that much anyway. However, the full HD aspect makes it an amazing telly! And a snip at £329!!!!

Gonna wait and see if I can get deal on a nice big LED for the living room come January!! wink

Why is a 42" an upgrade from 37".

An upgrade would be an upgrade in quality. That is just an increase in size. Has your room radically increased in size?


I bought a 32" Plasma 6 yrs ago. Since then that tv has moved to a living room almost twice as large and it still serves just fine.


So how are you upgrading or is bigger just better, despite it frequently being untrue?

i'm thinking of picking up one of the 700 lcd's 40" sammys

its got great reviews that i'm sure are now super-seeded by even better ones but for my budget i think its the best i can get

if your going to be a heavy user of the HD facility rather than just watch general tv then it might be worth while upgrading

if not then they're an excellant buy for £600

And battered by a 42X10 for a £100 or so more and at the next price point up kicked out of the park.

There's a reason that they're being offered so cheaply, they're st, essentially.
