I'd go for quality - B.& not quantity - A
I'd go for a well known brand. I've bought loads of 'cheap' electronics - like £20 DVD players - and they just don't last.
Look out for 'managers specials' and ex-demo models if you are on a budget. But for £500 you should be able to get a branded 32" or better from the web...
brand! try pricerunner.co.uk for the best price including delivery
You should be able to get a 21" TV for less than £500 its a nice size and in your price range, you might not be able to get a HDTV for that amount though, which lets be honest you might as well get one instead of buying a normal TV now and forking out again for the HD one in a few years time.
i would go for the brand I've heard of, that way i new it was a good TV..
L G do a great range of tvs and internet prices
should provide a very attractive deal
well I"LL go with "B" of course, you don't know where does the "A no-name" come from. And of course don't buy a "B with-name" that you'll use just for an hour...
If you want a wide screen but "no-name" you have to ask the dealer first.( but? is there any one want to sell a tv with a wide screen, for a low costs?)
A - even its small you know it is good
B - its unknown, wether its good or just for an hour...
(common sence)
Personally I prefer quality so I would purchase an option B set.
Try SONY WEGA
I'd go with a well known brand, at least you can sleep at night knowing that if your TV busts up you can call customer services
Whichever one I bought, I'd make sure a 5 year warranty was included. I work for an electrical retailer, and we only sell high-end TVs. The number of people who think that buying a big brand name means their TV is not going to break down is horrifying.
Last week we had a man phone up saying that the plasma TV we'd sold him 13 months ago had broken, and he wanted a replacement. We checked our records, and he hadn't taken out the optional extended warranty, so the TV was only covered for 12 months. He's £3000 out of pocket, and there's nothing he can do about it.
A cheap TV can be as good as a high-end one, but it is more likely to break down. Buy the cheap one if it looks good, but budget for a warranty.
