if any one has purchased one resently and know of one

thanks

Tim

I used to work for retravision, from wot i can remember th Palsonic LCD TVs had a wall mounting option, but u will find that majority require a seperate bracket.
A budget of $1000, may be difficult to find a 68cm tv for that price considering the cheapo 34cm tvs go for about $700. Remember u get wot u payed for, some of the cheapo companies can be a real pain in the arse when it comes to warranties and returns.
Most LCD and PLasma TVs are built from a single pannel of glass, sum cheapos are made from two pannels glued together, this can be a bitch when one half of your TV fails. That sed some of the cheapo brands aren't too bad as they are usually backed by larger companies.

Tim Get an Acer 66cm one.. they r the best value. around $1350 but i think u get $150 cash back.... JB's stock them or Retravision

i've seen a few dodgy's regarding acers, they repair their return stock and flog em off as brand new items

yeah well i seen a Centrex 81cm for $1395.. that seems ok not sure about the bracket though. im assuming id get that for around the $1200 mark if not less..

If your gunna buy a bracket seperately, be careful. Especially with the higher end brands like Pioneer and Sony. If the TV falls and breaks whilst your are using a generic bracket, they use that against u. They claim 'u werent using an official bracket so that voids your waranty'

Havent heard anything bad about Centrex.

dont worry if im going to be putting it on the wall it wont be falling no where... touch wood.. but ill be making sure that bracket is holding on tight lol

I think you should go to the store and see the T.V. in person and make the decision based and what you like. Some of the cheaper LCDs use the same panels as the more well known brands like L.G.

going to look tomorrow seen a centrex one $1395 seems ok 81cm. they said bracket was only $49 so they would throw that in anyway .. plus they said less for cash. lol.. so hopfully he come back with it for me tomorrow..

that brand should be ok there mostly all the bloody same now..
