If you do have the room and the budget, then it might be worth considering the Sharp LC80LE646E television set, an 80in model which is available for £3579 at PRC Direct with free delivery and five year warranty.

That’s a £430 discount off its previous lowest listed price and is one of the largest available models on the market. With a diagonal of 203cm, the television is probably bigger than the average Brit and has nearly four times the display area of a 42in television set.

It is equipped with a panel built at the company’s Sakai production plant, Freeview HD, a 100Hz refresh rate, Sharp’s AQUOS Net + internet access, USB timeshift capabilities and four HDMI ports. Other features include a weight of 60Kg, DLNA/All share compatibility, a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 and a plethora of other connectivity options.

Sharp is possibly the television brand that offers the best value-for-money when it comes to big television sets. Its 60in display costs less than £850 while the bigger 70in model can be had for around £2000.
