I'm looking at buying a TV for my room at Christmas.

Max I want to spend is €300 but less is better. I don't know anything about TV's, but here is what I need it to have.

HD Ready.
Wall mountable is a good plus too.
HDMI ports for my Xbox 360.
Atleast a 22" Inch screen would be nice too.

Sites I can use are mainly any UK one(UK will probably be cheaper too).

www.komplett.ie
www.elara.ie
www.overclockers.co.uk (if they sell TV'??)
www.pixmania.co.uk
www.scan.co.uk
www.amazon.co.uk

Those are what I know off the top of my head. I have no preference on what brand the TV is, aslong as it's gives a great picture that more than enough for me.

Looks good but it's €357, so it's outta the budget. I always wanted to go with a 32" but I can't break the €300 guys, I really can't. So a 32" is outta the question.

Ya just letting you guys know, the true budget allowed is actually €250, but I pushed it to max €300 cause I taught I'd get suggestions just over €250

You'll learn that people don't stick to budgets here, even when they ask for one.

They have at least one monitor with a built in tuner as well. (at least in the U.S.)

Don't listen to the majority of people here. On that budget you don't want to get something like a Samsung - too expensive.

You can get a 32" TV for that money and that's what you should do. The difference in size for watching stuff on is far more important than the difference in quality.

If you had the money, a good brand would be nice, but that's not in your budget - in fact you'll struggle finding one for that money, but they are available at that price.

Really you need a budget of about £300. Suddenly you can get good stuff then. Just wait until you can afford that - it's only about £30 difference to the max budget you specified in Euros, which is nothing. Don't go wasting your money on something small.

Right guys, I have took it upon myself to sell some shit I has around the house, namely a P5Q-Pro and a phone and a watch. I'll get them sold I'm sure.

Let's try one more shall we. New budget is.
£300
/
€350

What do you think about any of these? The free delivery is a great thing too! That Sony bravia looks good!

Edit: Ok with the help of the Sup, I have deemed this to likely be the one I get anyone got any experience with it?

Typical Mac user, purchases depend on how it looks.

Finny thinks Bert was only commenting visual appearance of that monitor rather than specs.
