LG 42LK530T 379.99 in argos

phill106 · 17-10-2012 6:42pm #1

It is another clearance item, does not show up on the website, just in store on the stock checker. It says it had been 629.99. Any thoughts on this tv?
Specs here and it is saorview compatible. I reserved the last one in limerick, was still one left in I think waterford when I checked.

Just checked Naas, none there, hopefully that's saved someone a trip.

Sound for the heads up, just reserved one in Swords!:)

To save everyone the hassle, I checked every store in Dublin except Dún Laoghaire, and they were out of stock. Not sure if there's any more left in Swords.

How did you check by phoning the stores?

Yeah there's a number in the catalogue to ring up and check stock and you can reserve it then. You just need the 4 digit code for the store you want to check and the catalogue number.

Here's some reviews on Amazon as well for anyone interested:

I got 2 LG brand tellys at home.

Freesat (UK) and Saorview (IRL) are both 'built in'

Simply, you get all the channels without need for any decoder boxes.
Excellent TVs.

davehey79 · 18-10-2012 2:48pm

ChriisM · 18-10-2012 3:20pm

In the old catalogue. Its 5297588.

Drumpot · 18-10-2012 5:02pm

Anybody got any comments on the tv?

Seems great quality and value for the price?

I know there are better specs out there but is it a good tv?

Lord Derpington · 18-10-2012 5:07pm

Review here 9.2/10 with a base of 72 reviews, seem to be a pretty decent TV really.

ChriisM · 18-10-2012 5:22pm

All set up! Very happy with it. Put on the latest Madagascar movie and my god it looked great!

Frankmagnet · 19-10-2012 10:37am

Anyone know of any stock in midlands? None in longford.

liamnojo92 · 19-10-2012 12:34pm

Do all Argos have clearance items ? I rang my local one and they didn't have a clue what i was talking about.

Have it fully setup now and it looks great. Tried a few HD movies on it there and the picture is unreal.

Drumpot · 20-10-2012 10:14am

Got last one in Drogheda. Picture is brilliant but it feels like the picture is slightly fast forward when watching certain things. Anybody know what this is?

Try turning off true motion or some similar name? Not at home ATM but was in the options. Also turn off energy saving, makes it look crap!

phill106 · 21-10-2012 6:09pm

Oh if anyone uses sky on this, sky code for remote is 0206

brimal · 29-10-2012 6:46pm

I just reserved one of these in a Dublin store, was wondering if Saorview is built in?

The Argos and LG website say 'Saorview approved' but it doesn't say whether or not the Saorview receiver is built in to the TV

With any model TV, be sure to check it's listed as approved on the Saorview site itself.

If it is, you can be assured the TV contains the necessary tuner capable of decoding Saorview.

Having purchased one last week , I can confirm Saorview is built into this set , all u need is to attach a suitable aerial , nice tv by the way :-)
