I tried looking for an LCD TV online but I find it too difficult digging through every site and specs to find the right one, so can someone who knows about the different TVs please advise me on the following: I'm looking for the cheapest (not rubbish though) 22" TV which I can connect:
1. my PC. (HDMI - thanks McGuywer)
2. my box office (HDMI).
3. console (WII - normal red, white and yellow cables).
4. dstv (also normal red, white and yellow cables)
So that's 2xHDMI and 2xComponent?

Any ideas? I'm hoping not to spend more than R3k though I don't know if that's possible.

If it matters, my display card on the PC is a GTX460 and it has 2xDVI as well as what looks almost like a micro usb but I'm not 100% sure what it is. I have a photo if needed.

Thanks in advance.

That is HDMI. You do need a mini HDMI to HDMI convertor though.
 
Are there any good online sites someone can recommend for browsing TVs?

That looks like one awesome TV!

Now I just need to save some more :(

BTW where did you get that price?

It is the average price. I follow them quite closely. Hifi Corp had them for R3,399 or so recently. Game had them for R3,299 a month or two ago. Prices have since gone up, so expect to pay around R3,500. Well worth the extra over a cheapie brand 32" which is what R3,000 on the dot would afford.

Don't know which model it is but on the last page of the HIFI Corp catalogue there is a
32" Samsung for R2999.

I'm not making recommendations on Stores, Brands, or Models. I'm just disseminating information recklessly :-)

I'm afraid it doesn't look like the same one. According to the samsung site here it has 4 HDMI but on the hi-fi corp ad it only has 1?
 
Got the TV yesterday! Looks aewsome so far. Now just waiting for a ps3 to test it properly :)
 
Can anyone recommed a good wireless keyboard and mouse for use with my pc and the above tv(samsung d550)?

Thanks
 
Personally I am a Microft KB / Mouse person - you should be able to pick up the basic set from abt R599. If you are looking 4 something cheaper perhaps look at bidorbuy?
 
Get the MS 1000 if the budget is tight. Is the MS800 wireless?
