    Anyone looking for a cheap TV for bedroom/kitchen could do worse than deal in Tesco today. Samsung SyncMaster T200HD priced at €99.
    Full specs here.
    Pros:
    Acts as PC Monitor with DVI and 15 pin DSub
    MPEG 4 Tuner
    Cons
    Not MHEG5 (ie no text on DTT etc..)
    However €99 is definitely a bargain.

    No hdmi though so watch out!

    Well ,i guess seeing as it doesnt have any speakers, a simple hdmi to dvi lead will do the trick!

    Hold one now, if this does have a tuner, shouldnt it have speakers!? I'm confused, is that definitely the right spec-sheet? It doesnt mention any tuner there

    Pity there are no speakers. I attached a pic of the price tag, although its probably no use to anyone. Sold out in Tesco in Douglas Village shopping centre.

    IT does have speakers: 3Wx2Ch, see the link in my previous post.

    a bit confused with the does it doesnt it have speakers.
    The specs mention multimedia speakers - does that mean not built in but separate.
    Also a bit vague about the MPEG4 / HD tuner for Saorview.
    Please clarify anyone who knows

    im pretty sure in regards to the speakers,the t.v is classed as a pc monitor however you can use it as a tv too,so you won't get the little external speakers with it but you will get sound from the telly itself.

    Just to let people know, the Sligo and Carrick-on-Shannon Tesco's don't have any if you planned to check either.

    Bargain if you live near a Tesco that has them.

    Is it any good as a Computer monitor though?
    Or is there better for the same price?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,572 ✭✭✭davehey79


    Theres a thread on this from ages ago got one myself but returning it for a refund due to it not having an mpeg4 tuner and thus not Saorview capable. Here's the thread for anyone interested LINKY Note: This is not a problem if you only intend hooking it to a cable / satellite box but if like me only the main room has sky and you want the digital Saorview channels in a bedroom without the hassle of cabling from the sky then maybe think about an mpeg4 tv.

    Anyone seen any left in Cork ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,016 ✭✭✭CreepingDeath


    I don't see any mention of a headphone socket, for watching tv at nighttime.

    .
    There are two versions of this TV, see here.
    Model number LS20TDDSUV/EN is mpeg2 only and model number LS20TDVSUV/EN is mpeg4. Both are sold under the name T200HD. The one I purchased today is mpeg4 version.
    CreepingDeath I don't see any mention of a headphone socket, for watching tv at nighttime.
    There appears to be a headphone socket at side, although it's slightly obstructed by a piece of plastic, presumably it's connected.

    ????? :confused:

    Anyway thanks to Markr for the box photo and Dec and Davey for the model info.

    So it does have built in speakers (3Wx2Ch SRS TrusurroundXT)
    and there is only one model with Mpeg4 the LS20TDVSUV/EN

    The other is model will not be able to receive Saorview

    I see no mention of an analog tuner so probably no use for things like Sky box uhf etc

    Couldnt sleep so i went to three different 24 hour tescos on northside of Dublin in past hour trying to find one. None in any store or even price tag on shelf. Only a more expensive Samsung 18.5inch one . I hate this crap, just gonna buy online from now on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 734 ✭✭✭battries not included

  • Registered Users Posts: 9,624 ✭✭✭wmpdd3

    Just to clarify:
    1. When country set to Ireland it has VHF/UHF tuner also.
    2. Sound from the 3W speakers ain't up to much but for €99 you can't argue and external speakers can be added thru optical out, component etc...
    3. There are 2 x HDMI outlets, one at side and one at rear.

    Good luck to anyone searching for one of these...
