Is the TV any good? Is that bargain basement cheap price for the TV or just average?

There are 6 of them on display in Tesco Mullingar at €375.

My mate has this model and the picture is excellent IMO. (no expert)

From memory on previous discussions on this TV it is no good with an analogue signal (i.e. normal arieal on the roof) but is great with a digital input such as Sky, digital cable etc.

I wouldn't expect them to hang around at this price, but then again people don't seem to be spending so much on "non-essentials" these days...

saw a couple last night in dundrum. well one at least, but i have one of them, i quite like it except for the fact you have to cycle through all the inputs instead of being able to select one from a menu. big remote too!

They are a really good tv imo. My parents got one in the 50% back offer around Easter time. Picture quality is fine with analogue tv and im sure its even better with a digital signal but I havent tried it.
Its good value for money though at that price.

imho, given the depreciation of electronics in the run up to xmas, it seems to be the "right" price for this TV, rather than a good discount, considering the fact that most top end brands go for just over 500 Euros these days.

i'm holding off till november to buy a tv... got my eye on a Panasonic Viera that's selling for 575 at the moment.

A great price for a 32". I'd take the chance on it, it may not be a well known make but I've heard some good things about them.

Have one for the last year - and know someone else who has one. They are good for the money. Yes, the remote could be better - and I also find pic quality poor with analog - but then, these tv's are really for the purpose of digital input.

I bought one of these in the 50% back promotion at easter - it was faulty and had to be replaced. Now the 2nd one is also faulty and has gone in for repair

Obviously, you're always going to get the odd faulty unit, regardless of the brand (my mate has a Mirai and has had no problems with it) but I would comment that in the event you do have problems their customer service is appalling.

didn't like the look of the lg one in xtravision, kidna looked smaller because of the small frame around the outside.
but xtra vision were selling the mirai one for 699, then 599 and then 499. so it seems like a decent price with tesco

You sure? Just checked my local Tesco, and the only offer they have is "30% off homewares and small domestic electrical".

It looked like the discount was on the tv as well. Got it in Clonmel + it had the 30% back sign all over the shelf with the mirai tv's. I will have to check it out.

Yesterday while in Tesco Clearwater Finglas I enquired about the 30% off and was told by the electrical manager that the Mirai Tv was not included.
Would be a great buy if it was!!!!

I asked in Tesco Clarehall on Friday if the tv was included as part of the 30% offer and was assured by an assistant manager that it did. I was confused because the 30% signs were all over the shelf that the tvs were on, but the small print om the signs says no large electrical items included.

The staff don't know what's going on half the time.

I'm pretty sure Tesco deliberately advertise reductions on top of products that do not belong to the promotion. I was caught out this way before on a smaller item (mach3 shaving kit) only to pay full price at the till.

Cool, thanks. I'll pop round later on and have a look.

I noticed this thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055017436

Same TV 2 years ago was on sale for €590 and was retailing at €800 in some places.

Edit: Well a similar TV anyway

My brother is looking for a tv (mainly for the ps3) and I was told these are in Tesco in Letterkenny as well. It's a great price. Is it a good tv? Never heard of Mirai before but it sounds like they are alrite.

I'm in pretty much the same boat, moving to college with 4 mates and we're looking for a decent TV to put in our living room, mainly for use with the PS3/XBOX360. All the reviews so far sound positive anyway, anyone else got any experience of this tv?
