We were among the lucky ones who saw adverts instead of the England goal. It had me reaching for my wallet , I tell you !

You can buy a 50 inch screen for £600 and a 32 inch screen for thousands. If you get a top quality Samsung, then the image is unbelievably good.
Crankarm said:I think it was, so that's your argument torpedoed. Like others have said I have looked at some in Comet and local TV shops whilst looking for other stuff and have been totally unimpressed with the supposed quality.
marinyork said:A high def tv is useless without source - a blu-ray player, high definition console, a STB cable/sat/freeview on a HD channel. Most of the shops are just playing special loops or freeview feeds (of varying quality) - many channels on freeview are barely standard definition.
