I need a new TV
as mine now takes about 2-3 minutes to warm up and for the picture to stabilise.

I want some sort of flat screen device but frankly the tech has moved on so much that I have no idea what I need to look for.

Depends on the size you want
But you can't go wrong with one that goes to 1080p (which is better than 1080i) resolutions.

I see, thank you.
This whole 1080 thing confuses and upsets me. I am not going to get a Blu-Ray player in the near future and I will never get sky so the need for HD isn't that critical, but I guess I might as well try and future proof it a bit.

I'd do that too, especially if you're ever likely to buy a console (other than Wii) in the future.

Also, if it's 1080 and HD
Then it'll probably have FreeviewHD built in, which looks pretty damn impressive. Sony Bravias are pretty good, and Sony are doing VAT back until Christmas.

For the price of it, I really like this one...

The only place it would be shit on, is if you use your telly as a monitor on a laptop to browse text based things like the internet.... and it won't give you the super-dooper HD resolution, but still as high as Sky or Freeview currently go.

That looks good
I actually need to measure up how much room I have on the shelf for a telly to fit. That will be the major deciding factor on how big a telly I get.

LGs have the best LCD panels hands-down.
My LG has the best picture on a telly I've seen, when I'm throwing it 1080p content.
