The missus is pressing the normal buttons, and complains that they don't work. Not too techno savvy. I am still using a tube TV - JVC - with listenable audio. Sent a Philips one back after 1 day because the sound was lousy. Consumers last test slated the sound on every model. All were unacceptable. Hopefully by the time I need a new one, they will have some decent sounding models.:rolleyes:

The sony one, you are able to disable the TV speakers, so the controls will work with your external speakers.

862137 2010-03-25 07:35:00 Well I did it. I am now the owner of a Samsung LA40B650 LCD 40" TV. It is a bit more expensive than the original model I was looking at, but I was offered a very good deal and somehow ended up buying that instead. :illogical

Anyhoo, it has Wireless DLNA and a 100 Hz screen (I could see the difference in the shop), so yeah. :p

Thanks for everyone's comments (and Foxy for me hijacking her thread!).

And even better that you're happy with the end result.
I've learned a lot from this thread myself, even though it'll be a while before I can upgrade my TV (and no doubt the electronics world will have changed again by then. But I know where to get advice...)
