Have you decided what size you're looking for? How far away will you be sitting?

Sitting maybe 10 ish feet away +/1 a little bit

Currently got a 28 or 29" JVC crt so looking around the same size, 30 or 32 i guess?

As a starting point, you could have a look at both the Orion TV-32082 (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=1597&id=30372&p=http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/store/dix_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0884276173.1185559688@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdjaddliekfggicflgceggdhhmdgmk.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=653393&category_oid=-28723) or Mirai DTL-632V200 (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=2464&prepg=); both are 32" televisions (which is a true diagonal for the screen unlike crt where you lose a bit of the tube to the surround). Bear in mind that neither have a freeview digital tuner built in (only analogue), so will require a separate box for freeview use if this is required - obviously, if you use Sky or cable then that's not so important. One advantage of the Mirai is that they back it up with a 3 year warranty. Both are pretty good budget models.

There was also this AOC 32" model discussed in the bargain forum (http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=459348) not too long ago.

thanks for that :) The mirai looks like a good one to go for.

There is also another Mirai. It has the same specs but looks different. I believe it is a newer model to the 632.
