I gather some of the more expensive TV's will do this, I don't think my Philips 720p TV will. I'd suggest maybe looking in some of the independent magazines such as What TV & Hifi (I think it's called) as you'd probably get much better advice than say going into Currys/Comet etc or a main dealer (such as the Sony Centre or Panasonic Centre). Personally if it was me, I'd also be looking at a TV which could do 1080p (Full HD) as a minimum now, especially with a budget of around £500. I believe you may be able to pick up a 37 or 42" LCD for around that although looking at Comet's site, LED TV's (i.e. TV's which are backlit with hundreds of LEDs rather than one or two lights) are nearer to the £600 mark for a 32".
