Recommend a good, cheap TV?

[sharplittleteeth]

Our TV is dying. Time to get a new one.

The cheap way to do this is buy a cathode-ray tube one. But I'd rather not have some Stonehenge-sized behmoth taking up the living room if I can avoid it. LCD seems the way to go.

In my little fantasy land, this new telly has a built-in digital TV tuner, RGB or DVi input so we can plug our computers into it, and costs under $1000.

Anyone know of such a beast? Or have any recommendations?

check out www.oo.com.au - the overstock outlet. They have really good prices on TVs and digital set-top boxes, and they're currently doing a 'free delivery site-wide if you pay by paypal' until Monday.

i think we rather see things in person first, make sure we get good colour and image etc .. and want the telly to have the digital reciever built in

if theres any brand recommendations ?

My TV? Wow, that lasted forever! I think that was bought sometime in the mid 80's!

[horngirl.livejournal.com]

Nah, that's ok. It's not like I've missed having it :-)

so you sont mind is we can donate it to an op shop?

[horngirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, do whatever you want with it. Though most op shops I know of won't take electrical equipment.

oh that's a shame , i think it could be reconditioned ..
oh well, we may need to hard rubbish it ;[

that said, you can get some pretty huge LCDs (especially not HD) for well under $600

otherwise, JB is 9/10s the cheapest retail outlet with best range & options.

we want lcd ..

and yeah looks like they might be the best range of LCDs, most places only have giant plasmas.
