Re: Suggestions for a TV



Graham,

I'm not making any specific recommendations, as I don't have such a tele
any
more... (I gave the 33" to the folks, and the bedroom tele is a
"cheapo"
28-incher...)

But, I can get you a Sony KV29LS30 29" fd Trinitron Wega, including
cabinet,
for £495.00 including VAT. there'd be a £20 delivery charge on top of that.
- All brand new, A-grade, boxed and fully warrantied official UK stock.

I believe that this is a pretty good price! (Currently on sale at Curry's
for £578.35)

Let me know if this is of any interest to you...

Also possibly of interest, - I can get a Sony VPL-HS1 projector, complete
with 60" screen, for £1595.00 including VAT (£5 delivery). - not sure
how
that matches up with the usual webtailers....

Paul G.
