    Servicing one’s television set

    I am the proud owner of a Sanyo cathode ray tube television set which has served me and the Tester household without protest or problems for over ten years. It has now developed a picture wobble and requires some servicing.

    Thus, I visited our local purveyor of televisual apparatus, and was rather stunned to see that the recognizable television sets had been replaced with unusual moving paintings affixed to the walls rather like traditional works of art, but with continually changing wobble-free pictures.

    It seems that one might save some expense by purchasing one of these devices instead of following the time honoured Tester family tradition of make do and mend.

    Can the congregation advise on the points of attention and measures of quality for these new moving paintings, bearing in mind that one merely wishes to enjoy the view of Ms Silverton reading the daily journal and the occasional Hungarian biology practical?

                My Samsung LCD is 100 x better than the last LCD I had.

                But now Philips are doing cinema-widescreen 21:9 which might just be the only way now. http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/ci.../30849/cat/gb/

                Having said that, LED is now back in, and these are ultra thin. I'd probably buy this if I was buying now http://www.johnlewis.com/230733042/Product.aspx unless price is more an issue then I would ask my mate who knows a guy who owns a warehouse full of B grade stock decent-ish ones for not much money.

                  We've got a samsung lcd but I've been reliably informed by my IT/av bod/company secretary that this would suffice
