Pros: Decent picture quality for this price point, low energy use, wallet-friendly price
Cons: Harsh audio, widescreen switching glitch on HDMI, lacks a couple of sockets (Scart and dedicated analogue audio out), usability niggles, Freeview tuner only
The above review is of the D4000. On the basis that D4000 & D4003 share the same panel, processor & firmware, the review should be relevant.

Was argos giving a 5yr warranty.
I feed all my TV's with the RF2 from Sky, so no issues with it being HD Ready.
On a serious note most of the "cons" from Which wouldn't be issues if you were using it with an av receiver and external speakers (something I consider a must with any flat screen).
I've had the ue32c5100 for quite some time, I paid £350 for it, if the picture quality is anything like as good and with a 5 year warranty from John Lewis you can't be going far wrong for that kind of money.

Picture quality depends on Panel & Processor & Video Processing Firmware specification. A good Panel matched to a poor Processor will result in poor picture quality. A poor Panel matched to a good Processor will result in poor picture quality.
A good 720p or 768p Panel matched to a good Processor can outperform a poor 1080p Panel matched to a poor Processor. Do not associate 1080p specification with high performance. It is not guaranteed, e.g.

If there is a better 32" led tv to be had at this price, then post it! You can always get better, but I bet it costs more!
any ideas?
No 3D= fail
Not 60"=fail
Etc....
The tv is what it is. Is it hot or cold!?

Fair enough it may be a better specced tv but it is 80 quid more and doesn't come with a 5 year warranty worth around 100 to 200 bucks, so can't really compare the two.

How can a 5 year warranty on a £279 product be worth £100 to £200?
EU law... goods should last a reasonable duration. 2 years minium and arguably 5 years+.
You have 6 years to make a claim. After 2 years it is on your head to show a common fault.
There are many reviews and user groups to help.
Brother repaired my printer after 5 years after I mentioned the regulation. For less than £300, few companies are willing to waste a day in the small claims court to defend a claim. It costs them more to represent themselves and they cannot reclaim costs. For low cost items, consumers are king!

And a 5 year warranty at comet/currys costs a hell of a lot more, I was talking average.
Secondly I agree about the law but this is no guarantee + it's a hassle to some people who WANT a warranty with it, this is about a deal with a warranty, not the ethics/practice of warrantys
A 5-year guarantee would involve as much paperwork and legwork as getting your telly repaired by law as previously mentioned. I would personally avoid this, as this is effectively a budget telly at nearly £100 more than others.
This tv will not display 1080i, it can accept a signal in that format and convert it to its native 720p panel. Im not sure what you mean you'll be watching tv on 720p, everything you watch on this tv will be 720p, better if its given native 720p material or the tv will upscale the signal itself and the 100hz thing is personal preference, it can cause as many problems as it fixes.

I bought the last one you mentioned there (LG) from Richer Sounds on Thursday for the bedroom. I've had a 1080p Samsung in the living room for a few years now and honestly, I can't tell the difference in the quality of the HD picture and there's nothing wrong with my eyes. I think people get duped into paying an extra £50 - £70 on a TV just because it's 1080p. Save your money and get the 720p if you want and people won't be dissapointed. I got £10 off my LG when I rang Richer Sounds. Curry's are selling it for £234, RS for £249. At least I was able to pick it up straightaway and not have to worry about waiting on Curry's delivery times.
