I want a 42"LCDtv, with freeview, 720p, for around £550. I have found

A Tecknika at Tesco for £550
A Teco £530 and a Atec £590 at Ebuyer

They all have roughly the same features by the looks of it.

Which one is probably the better one to get, or does probably not matter.

I have also seen A Warfedale 42"TV in Argos, its £700 but it has 1080p, not sure if its worth the extra cash though

After reading different things, what matters is the contrast ratio I think, the higher the better. 1080p is only any good if you have a high definition source (PC, SkyHD, HD/Bluray DVD etc)

Thats what ive been told in the past, hope that helps

is it worth getting a 1080p over a 720p,

Are the cheap brands on ebuyer good though as ive never heard of them.
