Probably because he's a hoarder buying lots of Bargains and now the TV is blocking entry to his toilet :pac:

GrumPy · 21-08-2014 10:34am

So people who have the TV, happy?
Very much considering ordering one. Doesn't seem to mention optical audio connection - (toslink) can anyone confirm? I'll be hoping to connect it to my sound-bar.

Reddzer2002 · 21-08-2014 10:37am

Ordered it yesterday as it is back in stock. One of the code mentioned above still works so paid £189 for it and it has already been dispatched.

Newtown90 · 21-08-2014 11:04am

Bought the tv before the world cup.

Really great for the money considering I paid €40 more for a 26" last year.

I use my sound bar for the sound from the sky box so haven't looked for an optical connection.

3 HDMI ports are great

no swapping leads every time!

Does it have a USB port?

Yes with full 1080 playback depending on the file format.
And can record Saorview 7 day timer etc.
I think you can record one channel while watching another - not 100% sure and even then not sure if only on the same Mux

also has a CI slot and VGA/Audio in for PC - who needs a smart TV if you have an old netbook or €15 will get you a miracast dongle, €25 for the nastiest android dongle, €35 for chromecast .

Manual - ignore anything about DVD http://www.umc-uk.co.uk/instruction-manuals/Blaupunkt-brand/32%20Models/User%20Guide%20-%20Blaupunkt%20-%2039-210I-GB-5B-FHBCUP-UK%20-%20BLA-MAN-0200%20WEB.pdf

The sound is bad just midrange , sounds like a cheap radio. But if you have a set of computer speakers knocking about or a Hi-Fi or stereo with Line In or Aux you're sorted just plug into the headphone socket.

note
http://www.umc-uk.co.uk/Formatting_a_Hard_Drive.php

Very important - some USB Hard Drives include a USB cable where 2 of the connectors need to be plugged into a USB port on the PC/device. (This is because 1 x USB port does not provide enough power to power the Hard Drive) Never connect these types of hard drives to a TV where only 1 USB port is available as you will damage the TV. It's very easy for a manufacturer to see if a TV is damaged in this way and your warranty does not cover repair or replacement for this.

If in doubt, if you must use a Hard Drive, ensure it comes with a separate power adaptor.

I know thread is for the 39" but some of you might have already looked at othe models, my question is regarding the Blaupunkt 32/147 and the Blaupunkt 32/146 both selling at £129 but the 32/146 is down from £259.00 for the weekend, can anyone see any differences? because I do not really see any.

I got one of them before, dont remember which one, code works for it too, but its a decent buy. dont know wht the difference is though. record function on both? hd ready? Mine works with saorview if concerned.

What did people do about the contact number ? I have to use a UK one?

brightkane · 23-08-2014 11:20pm

i think they googled parcel motels number and used that

boosabum · 15-09-2014 9:26am

I know a lot of guys got this tv in the past number of weeks. I picked up mine and only got around to powering it up last week. One thing that's quiet noticeable is that the sound seems very poor. It's like there is vibration or deflection of sound against the tv casing which is fairly annoying. Some have commented on the actual sound quality but this is more of an inconvinence than just a critique of the sound quality.
Anyone else encountered this, can it be remedied through the settings or is a sound bar/speaker required

GoodBridge · 15-09-2014 9:35am

Yeah, the sound is absolutely terrible. I played around with the sound settings and could make it a *little* bit less 'tinny' by putting the bass up to full and leaving treble at 50 but it's still horrible. I'm waiting on an audio cable to arrive in the post and then I'll be connecting the upc box to an old stereo which will be behind the tv.

I've also noticed that the screen is brighter around some parts of the edge of the screen.

It's a bad tv. If I'd seen it in action first I'd never have bought it.

boosabum · 15-09-2014 2:35pm

Cheers,

i took the liberty of splashing out on a half price sound bar to see if this will make my viewing experience bearable. if not then it's a generous present for the next wedding i go to.

Pretty much a given for very thin flat screen LCD/LED TV's.

Not so much a problem for thicker Plasma TV's or the big CRT's.

The solution is to use external powered speakers or Line in / Aux in on HiFi / ghettoblaster / sound bar.

Ah for the price I wouldn't be complaining. My main Samsung Smart TV has decent sound. My man cave room has home cinema system so solves the sound problem. Turn the brightness down and the edge bleed will be solved.

I wouldn't put it down as a bad tv. Not for the price anyway. If I spent 500 quid or so id be disappointed, but I didn't.

It has decent colours, poorish contrast, but my gf doesn't even notice the big difference between the Samsung one and the Blaupunkt one when looking straight on.

Yeah, connected my €50 Argos sound bar last night and made viewing much more pleasureable.

For some reason the bar only works when connected via the 3.5mm earphone jack, no sound works when connecting the red and white phono cables....strange

Are the red and white cables not for audio in?

Hococop · 16-09-2014 7:04pm

Have been looking for a new tv for a while and was thinking of paying around 400-500 for one, i was wondering if anybody has a list of the specs and info on this tv, ive seen bits of information on the tv online but not all the specs

just want to compare it to buying one in argos, currys etc for the price i mentioned above

Now I'm no expert at all but would you not be best off buying from Amazon or similar? Something like this tv looks very nice for around that price

Yeah that's the trick. I haven't used it yet for anything big like a TV though myself.

If the package doesn't fit in the actual drop off point you've selected, collection needs to be made from their Finglas warehouse - or pay approx. €10.00 to arrange a delivery (via Nightline, their parent company)

I'm thinking of getting that to help with the sound.

When you plug in the soundbar, does it replace the internal speaker sound, or do both play together?
Can you control the sound with the TV remote, or do you need to use the soundbar remote?

boosabum · 17-09-2014 2:28pm

I connected it to the tv via the 3.5mm jack cable supplied, it replaces the sound of the tv speakers and volume is controllable via the tv remote.

I'll look at getting the audio coax cable also as this is supposed to improve the sound quality also (stereo 5.1 or the like)
For the price it's probably worth it, certainly makes a big difference on the tv sound quality.

If you can, try to pick up a longer 3.5mm jack cable as the cable isn't that long and depending where you want the soundbar to go, it may be a bit restricting
