    Hi Delboy.

    The simple answer to this is no.

    Flash has been an issue for the TV makers and part of the issue is that it keeps changing and so far there are no smart TV's that handle flash. 

    There have been one or two models that supposedly supported it but then then flash moved the goal posts and they stopped working.

    I cannot recommend any model that will currently work (and continue to work) with flash.

    It may come in the future.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Delboy.

    Cheers for the reply.

    I am going to assume that you are looking at a 42" or thereabouts, so forgive me if this is incorrect.

    The one that I would personally look at is the Panasonic TXL42ET60. This is a great 422 model and John has just posted some great pricing including delivery so this one can be picked up for £649.95 with delivery at just £12.49.

    http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/Products/VIERA+Flat+Screen+TV/Smart+VIERA+LED+TV/TX-L42ET60B/Overview/12201888/index.html

    This model is also available in a 47" for £849.95 with free delivery.

    Alternatively, my next choice would be the Sony KDL42W805. This (like the Panasonic) has a very natural flow to the image and isn't just as pin-point sharp as the likes of the Samsung but offers a more nutural image with excellent motion handling.

    This is priced at £749.95 with free delivery.

    If you wanted to stretch, then look no further than this one.

    http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/Products/VIERA+Flat+Screen+TV/Smart+VIERA+Plasma+TV/TX-P42GT60B/Overview/12259101/index.html

    Amazing contrast levels, the best motion handling out of the 3, brilliant with standard definition images, unbeatable colour gradients and loaded with features. A top quality TV that won't disappoint.

    If you are looking the best TV that we have for less than £1500, then this is it. Priced at £1099.95 with free delivery.


    If I've missed the mark and you are looking something a little smaller / larger, let me know.

    Let me know what you think.
