My trusty 8 year old 32inch Philips widescreen just blue up 5 minutes before the end of Lost.

I could do with something that comes with a toddler proof stand/cabinet to keep skybox, dvd player and amp in.

Also it must be HD ready. So what can I get that will last me another 8 years for 1000 or less?

No preferences as to LCD or plasma or even CRT just as long as the image and build quality are there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

HD versions are dearer though.

I want it to last a fair few years so it must be fairly future proofed and HD ready, but thanks.

You may want to consider wall mounting if you go lcd/plasma...

By the time they're old enough to reach it, they'll know what dangers to their life it brings...

I'd say that it was bowing under the weight of the TV, but according to this (http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?topcategoryId=17071&catalogId=10103&storeId=7&productId=52065&langId=-20&categoryId=15962&chosenPartNumber=30086752) it's capable of withstanding 100kgs..

Geoggy: Is that unit really 120cm wide - it seems a lot smaller. I'm looking for something child proof to now and that looks ok..

TH42PX60 is the best buy (shown in picture) in my openion, though you may have to stretch a bit (£1100ish)


Also it must be HD ready. So what can I get that will last me another 8 years for 1000 or less?
