I would say don't get either.
Both are HD-Ready, which means they do not have a built in TV-Tuner and you will not get any local TV without paying for Satellite TV or Cable TV.
Get this model number 37SL8000.
It is a hundred Euros more, but has a better contrast ratio, 200hz which will give you better 3-D when it comes out and has a built in tuner so you can watch over the air TV, when you connect it to an antenna.


According to LGs website it has a built in tuner

It does not say it has a built in tuner. It says it is 1080p and give you freeview service. Which is a service you don't have to pay for if you connect to the freeview service, which I am sure is through a coax cable connection. If he were to for example try to get OTA signals, he would not be able to.

The defenition of HD-Ready TV is a TV that is capable of HD output but does not include and HD-Tuner built in. HD-TV has a tuner built in.


I know what the definition of HD ready is, and the one you reccommended is also only HD ready.  And where does it say that it has a tuner?
