RE: Suggestions for a TV

["Brian Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all, I am interested in this question as I am hiring a TV that
expires Sept and wanted to purchase a decent TV.

What are the practicalities of only(!) having a projector and screen in
the living room and not have a TV?

Apart from the initial outlay what other things are there to take into
account?

One for Phil?

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 =A3495.00 including VAT. there'd be a =A320 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 =A3578.35)

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 =A31595.00 including VAT (=A35 delivery). - not s= ure
how
that matches up with the usual webtailers....
