Hi

Havn't posted here for a while, but these offers will be worth the wait.
Tesco will soon have a Philips 32" HD ready LCD down from €1099 to €699 and also a 42" HD ready LCD down from €1890 to €999.

Cheers

Good man jarvis - delighted as always to see you posting. I got one of the 32" models just after Xmas so that should do me for a while but I do have a couple of friends that would be interested in the above.

LOL can't wait to see this thread grow. Still well pleased with my TV too. Hopefully some of the others that missed the €399 bargain will pick something up this time.

Fair play Jarvis.;)

I'm still very happy with my 32" (genuine) Technosonic. Then again...

Lord Nikon · 14-03-2007 11:23am

Don't think they'll be on sale this week due to the beer promo their having. Tesco Maynooth had no information of the discounts today either. Looks like it will be next wednesday.

kaizersoze · 14-03-2007 11:50am

Good man jarvis.
Will this be a refund on clubcard points offer or genuine money off offer?
Also, is this in selected/bigger stores or all stores?
My local Tesco is a mickey mouse affair when it comes to electricals.:)

Lord Nikon · 14-03-2007 12:49pm

The deal kicks off in Tesco at 9am next Wednesday. This is confirmed because they rang me personally. Lovely Jubbly

They have internal scalers. Same way computer monitors can be set to multiple resolutions.

It's just a price reduction. You bring in €999 or €699 depending on model, and you leave with 42" or 32" depending on cash you bring.
It also depends on how quick off the mark you are. You could bring €999 or €699 and leave with €999 or €699. With this early notice, there isn't much of an excuse for anyone who really wants one, to leave with €999 or €699.

It is next Weds and I'll answer questions about how many units that individual stores will have in a later post.

To answer the guy about the alcohol: All the shops have it but they're running out fast!!!!!

Regards

Jarvis:D

themonk · 14-03-2007 9:03pm

Fair play Jarvis ... is there any way you could ask for one to be reserved ... sorta like what happened at christmas once they advertise it ... ?

quintron · 14-03-2007 9:36pm

Cool.. however..the specs & link listed above by yellow dog point to 32PF5331/10 and jarvis listed a 32PF3331/10. The 5 in the former seems to indicate a newer/different model. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?
Cheers

mobby · 14-03-2007 10:42pm

Sorry folks but am I missing something here, you can pick up a 32” LCD from various online sites for similar if not a little cheaper so what’s the big deal with this one. Also do you not need to have a dual tuner for the PIP to work?

mayto · 14-03-2007 10:50pm

yep i dont understand what the hype is about these, its nothing like the 400 euro deal, 700 euro is nothing special at all for a 32 inch atm. Check out the other lcds threads in this section. You can get samsung 32 inch lcd's off german sites for 650 delivered and the price is going down the whole time.

Do-more · 14-03-2007 10:53pm

Was in Germany last week and Media Markt had a special offer on a 32" Sony Bravia LCD at €849! Which seems like a great price for a high-end model. It just goes to show that prices for LCD's are dropping fast. Although it will be a while before we see anymore 32" LCD's at €399! Cheers Jarvis mine is the biz!
