Ok so I'm looking to buy a new TV for my bedroom, and I've been looking at these two in Argos:

But idk which one of those would be better? I was going to go with the one without the built in DVD player, but then it's like 7kg heavier and also bigger in depth for some reason which would mean it could be harder to mount it on the wall. So which would you choose out of those two? Or, do you have any other suggestions of the same size TV at a similar price? The main use will be gaming.

Well I suppose it comes down to how much you want to watch DVDs?
Can you survive with having a DVD player separately or would you prefer for it to be built in?
Also, I don't think it would make it much more difficult to mount onto the wall - especially if it has the little bracket things as that would mean it is designed to be mounted!

Yeah forgot to mention, I'll probably never actually use the DVD part lol. Andd just found out we already have a wall bracket that'd fit both of those TVs anyway meaning I wouldn't have to buy that :P. So likely to go for the first one..

Never gonna use it?
Go for the cheaper (is it?), lighter and thinner option then ;)

It's cheaper but it's slightly thicker and 11kg as opposed to the 3.9kg of the one with the DVD player. Idk how that works lol.

Oh. Thats a bit strange haha, maybe get it then as it may look a tad nicer?
Suppose you're the one that will have to live with it lol!

Lool I guess it won't matter much, was just worried it would be harder to wall mount it with it being so much heavier :P.

As I say, if it has the holes and stuff on the back, it must be designed to be wall mounted. I don't know. :P
You can always return it if it doesn't do the job!

I personally wouldn't buy either, not from Argos. You can quite often pick up a 32" smart TV from a better brand than Hitachi for around the same price. Check http://www.hotukdeals.com for better deals... on anything.

Hitachi 28 Inch HD Ready Smart LED TV - Silver
This one offer better things in my opinion. [And it's cheaper than other one]

I've had good experiences with Samsung LED 32" TV's, so I'd search for one, just make sure it says 1080p full HD, the rest of the features are kind of useless.

Oo thanks, I didn't see that one.
Trying to find the difference between UE28F4000AWXXU and UE28F4000 if anyone knows :L.

Possible - but the Amazon one is the UE28F4000AWXXU and it says New for 2013 in brackets, whereas the UE28F4000 came out in 2012. I think I'll just get it from John Lewis anyway, seeing as you get 5 year warranty and I might be able to get JLP discount :P.
