Haven't decided yet, making do with the old bedroom TV, a 32"
panasonic "hd ready" - in other words hopelessly 1368x768, bleech.

Saw what i really want, a sony 55" 720 series in the sony shop in
riccarton today, very thin, led/lcd. Must be good, Bob Parker was
looking at them too...

I will have to pay more than what insurance will get me for that
though I suspect.
