Inbuilt speakers vs Stereo Hi-Fi

[tomayresss]

I'm thinking of buying a TV (around 32") this summer and would like to know whether it would be more worthwhile seeking out a TV with good inbuilt speakers, or somehow connecting it to my Stereo Hi-Fi (NAD C352/Quad 11L)?

I don't think home cinema speakers would be that beneficial as I will still be watching normal dvds (not blu-rays) and non-hd television for the most part - correct me if i'm wrong.

If the Hi-Fi option is the best - how would I go about connecting a tv/dvd player etc. to my Hi-Fi?

Thanks

Tom.

Yes, connecting the TV to your hi-fi would give much better sound - just make sure you buy a set with analogue stereo outs (on a conventional pair of phono sockets) and you'll be fine.

Great

Should I then connect the sound of the dvd player directly to the hifi as well? Or just everything to the tv, then the tv sound to the hifi?

Best to connect the DVD player direct to the amp, again using stereo analogue phono interconnects.
