    Hi,
    I am looking for any advice anyone has on purchasing an LCD HD-Ready TV. Probably would like something in and around the 28-32inch mark. I have about €1000-1500 to spend.
    All advice/suggestions will be most gratefully received!
    My main reason for wanting a HD is to use it with my xbox 360.
    Also with the BBC broadcasting the WC this summer in HD, and HD-Ready Tv's not having digital tuners, has anyone any advice as to where/what kinda tuner I need and the price Im looking at etc etc.
    THanks

    Let me get a suggestion in before the Samsung brigade show up. :D

    I have a LG LX262R which works excelently with SD Cable, NTL Digital, PAL DVD (haven't tried NTSC yet), XBox 360 and computer (via DVI or VGA).

    As for getting the WC in HD, that won't be happening as far as I know. It is being recorded in HD but not broadcast as far as I remember. Maybe after it, you can buy some HD DVD's of it and watch it via a HD Player?
