Hi, Please can you recommend the best sub £500 40inch TVs that will work best with my Humax HDR FOX T2 freeview box? Picture quality is more important than sound quality as will I plug into external sound system. thanks for your help. Adam

Does it have to be only 40"? You could get a 48" for that price.

I'm puzzled about the Humax box. Nearly all new televisions will have a Freeview HD tuner built in, so why do you want the Humax box? Unless the Humax is also a recorder, not just a receiver?

Thanks for your comments. We currently have an old 37in TV and want a new one but don't want it any bigger than 40in although appreciate we could buy a bigger one for the same money. The Humax is a recorder and thats why we still use it. We have loads of films etc on it. I'm guessing that freeview built into TVs don't allow you to record TV. thanks

I'd go for this, I've been very tempted by the 55" version of it, but I'm lacking the funds at the moment.

It's 40", I've not seen a bad revue of it, it's future-proofed (4K), and it looks good, and if you buy it from Richer Sounds, you'll get a 6 year warranty for free.

I can't argue with BBB, here's the What Hi-Fi review in case you've not seen it

The main thing that you have to decide now is whether you need 4K resolution or not. If you don't need 4K resolution, then the Samsung UE40H6400 has swept all before it for nearly two years now. It's also at Richer Sounds, for £379, though as I suspect you don't buy televisions very often, a money saving should not be an important criterion. This is the link to Richer Sounds http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/samsung/ue40h6400/sams-ue40h6400 and this is a link to one of many glowing reviews http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/tvs/1400667/samsung-ue40h6400-review. Note that the stand swivels, which is a rare asset these days.

Wey-hey!

Just to say - you won't be watching it on Vivid or Dynamic modes, will you?

Very decisive. I wish I was more like that. *smile*
