which 32" TV do I buy?

Hi all,

I need some help!
I am about to replace my Philips 32pf9986 LCD screen with a new one.

I had problems connecting this screen to my PC as its native res is left a 2cm border around the edge of the screen. It was not possible to get around this problem at all. I tried to find solutions for months but to no avail.

So, I want a 32" TV for about £1500. Any suggestions? Has to be LCD or plasma.

I used this site when I was looking for bedroom viewing options. I don't have any personal experience with the types of displays you are looking for but maybe that site will help you out all the same.

Do any of you have an opinion on this TV:

The only worry for me are the inputs. There doesn't seem to be a PC input. I currently use DVI from my Vid card.

it has HDMI. you can use a pretty simple converter to use DVI into the HDMI input. something like this...

I've found it very easy to hook up PC's to TV's with a DVI to HDMI converter--it makes it much easier to get the 720p display filling the screen (much more so than using VGA)
