We have a tiny, portable 28 year old TV/DVD combi as the only TV in the home. None of us watches TV very much (say once or twice a year) but we all have PCs.
However, as we approach yet another Xmas, which is the only time of year we probably have a few days to sit down as a family and collectively watch a film, I'm thinking of finally buying a new flat screen TV.
Recently, young relatives were caught mocking and laughing at our old 'dinosaur' of a TV and this has also spurred me on. But I have no idea which, of the thousands of types and model of TV, we should buy?
I know there are smart TVs but assume we don't really need one, as we have PCs? I don't know what the pros and cons are for different types - eg LED vs plasma. We probably only need something with a small to medium sized screen (our current TV has a screen of 12 inches!! but I can no longer see it properly from the sofa!).
I don't even know what sort of things to consider. I'm hoping whatever we get would last several years, be good quality and probably would only want to spend around £200 to £350 on it.
What would people recommend?
