Wait till the TV shop closes and purchase an engineering brick for £0.18 and that should be the cheapest way - unless you can find a free brick!! :p;)

I'm in the process of crossing the t's as we speak Euan mate. :) That's another beer I owe an NMS member. :D

SC I'm not really sure until I've looked at them but 28" is looking like the minimum. I'd prefer larger though...obviously. (No innuendo you lot!!!) :p

How much we talking Col, i'm seriously considering getting another Hi Def plasma for my games room
I have a 42" Sony plasma complete with stand and yet another stand (not dedicated) for it to sit on that i would sell
I wouldn't need all the cash for it in one go, could maybe spread it over a few months etc to help you out
Send me an e-mail if you're really interested and wanting pictures of it

SC I've been looking for a wee LCD TV for a while, just to stick in the bedroom. Can you let me know the details and what you're looking for price wise. I could be interested if it is cheap enough.:I PM me if you don't want to post here.:p

No No No..
Currys, Comet etc.. that's where you got to try out stuff, to see if it will break... ;)

Then you search out the ones you like and buy it much cheaper! :cool::D

Have you had a look at Minime's post in 'For Sale' thread - http://www.add2it.co.uk ?

AGREED:D

Set up mum n dads TV with surround sound. Did an ace job, even wired in my playstation and left cables for plugging in iPod and laptop.:approve:

You pay a little extra for the items themselves, but its worth it for the service! No more expensive than comet etc.

well if you don't live near Montrose then try shop@panasonic.

Panasonic top quality stuff much better than Sony IMHO. Sorry:I well I'm just saying disnae mean Sony is crap though.http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/scottiecoop/gayfight.gif
