TVs For The 2010 World Cup.
Unless you’ve been living in an underwater cave for the last couple of weeks, you’ll be aware that the World Cup is rapidly approaching, with the first games starting in a mere few days. We know that many of you out there have been looking to get a new TV in time for the tournament, be it a second TV so you can watch in bed during the wee hours, or an upgrade for the main TV in the house. We thought we’d pop in a quick article to let you know some of what’s available for immediate dispatch, with arrival to most parts of the country in time for the tournament.
The Upgrade… Still watching one of the old, bulky CRT TVs? Or perhaps you’re yet to make the digital switch and would really prefer to catch the cup on SBS HD? Our recommendation is to look at Full HD TVs, especially if its’ 40″+ that you’re after. Unless in a particularly large room, a TV about 40-46″ should be plenty big enough for the main TV viewing area. Up for consideration should certainly be the Samsung Series 6 or the Sony EX500 LCDs. Both of these are in stock and both of these will serve you fantastically well for the World Cup. If you’ve got that little bit of extra cash to spend though, the Samsung Series 6 LED looks a great bet. Or of course you could go 3D…
Go 3D… the biggest request we’ve had for TVs in the run in to the world cup has been surrounding the new 3D TV models. We can tell you that for the beginning of the cup, you’re choice revolve entirely around the Samsung 3D LED range, with both the Series 7 and Series 8 models available for immediate dispatch. The Series 7 is available in 3 sizes; 40″, 46″ and 55″, whilst the top of the range Series 8 is available in 2 sizes; 46″ and 55″. These TVs are quite extraordinary. As the tournament progresses, we are expecting to receive stock of the 3D models from Panasonic, LG and Sony, as well as the Samsung 3D Plasmas, but these will probably come in during the 2nd week of the tournament.
Second TV for the bedroom… Depending on the size of your bedroom of course, we reckon a 26″ TV is about right for the bedroom. At this size, there is a the budget conscious Full HD model from Vivo, available with or without an inbuilt DVD player (whilst the World Cup is not available yet on DVD, other things are. Probably worth a thought for the months post-July). If on the other hand you a bit of a brand snob, then we suggest looking at the Samsung LA26C450 Series 4 LCD or the Toshiba 26AV600A (call for more as it’s not yet listed on site). Both of these are High Definition rather than Full HD, but at 26″, this shouldn’t make too big of an impact.
All the TVs mentioned are in stock and ready for immediate dispatch on the next delivery run. The sooner you order, the quicker you can be watching the World Cup in style.
