32" lcd

jarvis

January Sale in Tesco and they have a 32" Technotronic ( could be technosonic ) LCD that is HD ready......... Wait for it ................
€399.

If anyone seen my post earlier this week about the 42" Philips. The actual model was 42pf3331/10 and was a steal at €1299 for a HD ready LCD. They're all gone now, but the above is also great value!!!!
You heard it here first yet again!

Hehe excellent thanks mate when does this start ?

jarvis

Should start Wednesday but some Tesco stores probably dont even know about the offer and will leave these tv's out the back so ask have they got onr then get them to price check. If anyone tries, let me know how they get on!!!!

Also PC World have a 320GB external hard drive for €110. Starts Wednesday.

Jarvis:D

Are you sure??? i saw a 15inch lcd up there yesterday for ~300euro. Cant imagine that much of a discount in half a week.

last great bargain alert of the year if its true tho

bennyx_o

Sounds good, might have to get myself one of these. I assume it's more than that with money back in ClubCard vouchers?

muppetkiller

this could be it but it says it's only 50Htz ? A xbox360 wouldn't play any of the new games on it ?

saw a few posts saying the 360 looked great on it

Holy poop!
I was considering spending €700 on a 28" lcd the other day... reckon i'll definitely go for this one instead:)
Will they be starting the sale before January 1st?

bennyx_o

Thats more like it.
€399 for a 32 inch lcd is well below manufacturing cost,Period.

Smithers

No

can the original poster give any more details or proof?

l3rian

lol i knew this was bull... the old mistaking £ for €

Smithers

No

yeah must be,

The only thing that interested me though was the OP posted here also

http://wwww.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055031082

and says he bought one

thought it might be insider knowledge

jarvis

Correct Smithers, it is insider knowledge and it would be very difficult to mistakingly type € as it takes much more effort to type € as opposed to £.

I'm not 100% sure exactly when it will begin but it will be their lead advertised product to promote the January sale. The shops were instructed not to put these on sale before the event. it is 32" HD ready LCD, that is fact.

If anyone is interested, go into a Tesco Tomorrow morning and ask a member of Management from the hardware dept' this may be a way of getting one before it is advertised. It may only be in the bigger stores too so choose the shop wisely.

Can someone who gets one please post back here so others will realize I'm not making this stuff up and that I am genuinely trying to get people a bargain.

Jarvis

Smithers

No

sweet mate, i will contact a mate who works there and see if he can get me first dibs on one, think hes in the new finglas one,

your 100% sure of the price ?

jarvis

Smithers The new Finglas one will definately have them but be quick. I am positive of the price it's what they call a loss leader.

J

bennyx_o

So it is €399?

jarvis

OH MY GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Smithers

No

me mates in at 7am, fingers crossed,

cant afford it , but cant afford not to try and get one!

Guy:Incognito

Do-more

No

Anyone know what time Tesco's open at in the morning?

8am I am assuming (Mullingar branch) Anyone confirm?

muppetkiller

No

I'm gonna chect the Galway store at 8am too

spongbob

No

do you think mulingar will have them "Do-More" i am up in mullingar at the moment, wil be hading back to dublin in the morning, i might drop in and check too.. mst say tho, iv been to the store a few times i did'nt find it a big store as fonthill,clar-water, does this store normaly sell t.v's ?

Saruman

No

Mullingar has TV's etc yes.. not as big as clearwater though.. if you are heading back to Dublin via the M4 then you can alwayts drop in to the much bigger Maynooth branch. its about as big as Clearwater was before the recent renovations.
Would be interested to hear how people get on.

green123

24hr tesco in dundrum was closed this morn at 7:45 !!!
anyone check any stores ?

Smithers

No

Just been confirmed from my mate this is 100% genuine, he just managed to put one away for me, collecting today

The tax man

No

I too can confirm this offer is the real deal cause I got one this morning in Clearwater. You have to ask though.None on display but ask someone in a suit and you'll get one. Meet someone else out there with one in his trolley. Word gets around.;)
Report and pics to follow. Only out of box now and it's a nice looking set. Doesn't look cheap at all.

Hats off to Jarvis for the insider tip. Your a legend.:D

Smithers

No

goint to collect mine now, canny wait!! not many left in finglas i am told, will i need a trolly for it tax man or is it manageable?

The tax man

No

Not too heavy but I'd get a trolly so you won't look silly trying to get it out to the car.

the corpo

do tesco deliver? like, i'll be on my bike!

The tax man

No

Best off ringing a branch to find out. Or get a taxi to bring you home with the TV.

bennyx_o

Hopefully there'll be some left at bout 2, I'm stuck in work. If I called would they put one by for me?

robcon

No

What a bargain. Jarvis your a gent, cheers dude.

Do-more

No

My Mate and I got one each in Mullingar, they only had four available (I think 6 came in but some staff had them put away for themselves) Was there at 7.50am but no one was in from the hardware dept. until 9am they finally wheeled out four at 9.20am we got two and then some staff who didn't know about it in advance snapped up the other 2!

Cheers Jarvis, keep'em comin';)

dr.bollocko

No

I GOT ONE!!!!! TRABOPALINE.
Thanks a million guys for the heads up. Has PC input and everything.
Holy crap!

muppetkiller

No

None in Galway
was first in the door and they didn't even look like they had a sale on ...

muppetkiller

No

I don't suppose anyone would like to pick one up for me and i'll get someone to collect and pay you today (If your around Dublin) ?

The tax man

No

LOL knew you must of got the info here alright.
Didn't know how to go about asking yer man about it,just as well I spotted you and that box in your trolly.Nice to meet a fellow member.;)

Have mine up and running and I'm one happy camper.
Very pleased with the picture from NTL digital,Sky feed should look even better.
Analogue picture is the same as analogue on any LCD I've seen. Alright but LCDs really depend on digital signals to work there best. Best of all it has no lip sync issues which I've come across alot on more expensive sets.(with NTL dtv feed) Sound is nice and deep with a good bit of power.
Response time seems fine,no blury pictues while watching the football on Sky Sports.
No dead pixels what so ever.:D
Now for the real test.......Going to hook up the Xbox360 and give it a spin.

spongbob

No

how much where they lads?

dr.bollocko

No

399.99

Smithers

No

got mine for 360, me mate that works there got 10% off!

Seemily not alot of staff knew about them, they thought they were 599!

Cracking TV , only have NTL digital for the time being, but well impressed with it

Thanks again jarvis

dr.bollocko

No

Does anyone know what the dpi spec is for it?
I wanna hook it up to my pc. As soon as I get off gosh darned work...

Compak

Maynooth had 6 sold out at 8 am this morning once they opened

The tax man

No

Well hooked up the 360 to it and it looks damn sweet on 720p with the bog standard cable you get with the 360. No motion blur what so ever.

dr.bollocko

No

No way!
I sort of jumped at the bargain but then got a bit worried after thinking "Well, u get what u pay for..." And all that. So i am pleased that the 360 gives a nice picture. Havent gotten mine home yet as I am at work, but please god the picture will be good and I have gotten a bargain rather than a cheap lemon!
