Can you advise me about buying a television?

Not a Samsung, they arent very good - bad picture, especially if their is a very dark scene in what you're watching. Try a panasonic, lg, or sony but it depends on how many inches you want the screen to be too? You should of course look for symbol DTV (digital tv) but I would think most TVs now will have this.

In your budget limit you should go with LG 42LE5900 Full HD 1080p 100Hz LED Internet TV with Freeview HD.The LG LE5900 LED TV series provides Full HD 1080p picture quality with an ultra slim design perfect for hanging on the wall as well as having built in Freeview HD, TruMotion 100Hz and access to your favourite internet content like youtube. You can access music, photos & videos from a PC, laptop, mobile phone & other DLNA devices.

you can get a 42" panasonic 3d plasma tv for only £499 and that comes with 2 pair of 3d glasses and it comes with internet tv and freeview hd
