RE: Re: TV Recommendations?

["Neil Ball" <neilball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd not be too hung up about 720 v 1080 unless you sit very close, I'd
be
more tempted to go by the additional features versus cost. That said only
the budget ranges tend to still be 720p, so unless you are looking for
absolutely lowest price then you will probably find the sets are all Full
HD.



Samsung 6000/7000/8000 ranges are very good, 2011 models (where available)
may be worth looking at if they are discounted as the 2012 replacements are
now starting to appear. There is very little to choose between them in
terms
of picture quality, it is the "added features" and thinness that
tend to be
the differentiators.

I forgot to ask....
Some are 720p and some 1080p (full HD). Which should I go for?
And what else should I look out for?
Thx
Andy
