If it's of any help ... I have just bought a new 32" LCD HD Ready with integral Freeview. On 'general' research, it came down to three: Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba. I bought the 'books' and studied in detail ... Toshiba won hands down. Sony is rated 'Excellent' but pricey compared to immediate rivals. Panasonic is rated 'Very good' but better models from immediate rivals. Toshiba was given a 'Five-star' rating with the comment "almost faultless in every way. The sale price at this moment at John Lewis is �699 whilst Currys (online) price is �649. However, John Lewis is giving a 5-year 'parts and labour' guarantee.
