I paid €630 for a new 5605 model philips 32 inch lcd last month. So it might have led backlighting, huge contrast ratio, MPEG4 tuner, 100hz etc but for €250 that Toshiba is a bargain.

I picked up a nice 22" Samsung TV to use as a monitor last week, I think it was €170, €199 with 10% off, really can't fault it, I've hooked up my PC, sky box and PS3, games and movies all play fine on it. I was there for about 20 minutes trying to decide which ones to get, I didn't get the Toshiba 32" cause it didn't have a DVI input, but there was a 23" Samsung for €259 that looked great, I couldn't justify €90 for an inch and higher resolution

Anyone know of anywhere in Galway or even Roscommon, Castlebar where this is available??

Black_Knight

Checked in Tesco Galway city. Couldnt see any 32" Toshiba. There was a 32" technika TV with DVD combi for €300. 3 year warranty too. Might be worth a gamble.

Was in Tesco Wilton in Cork this morning, no sign of a 32" toshiba for €250 either, they did have a "technika" 32" hd ready for €330, and a slightly better looking "technika" for €400, none of those two bargains anyway...

Oh, and could almost guarantee that a toshiba 32" wont be mpeg4 DTT compatible...

not important if you have get TV via SKY or UPC or set top box

also it should have a CAM slot so you could add mpeg4 decoder later on

Also we won't know for certain if ANY devices will work 100% with the new system till it goes live in September

I got a 37" Toshiba in Tesco a year ago for €400, and has a CAM slot alright so there's a good chance these will too.

Bought a JVC Led 37'' in Sean Hennesshys in Shannon last week for 449 euro. Thought it was a good deal!

6/7 Years ago.. a 50" Pioneer Plasma was €15000,, I didn't buy one but i worked for them.

Clareman

I bought a plasma through adverts ~5 years ago for €1500, this was over half price at the time and I got a great deal. I'm watching it now, it's working perfectly (touch wood) still although the lack of HDMI ports in it is really bugging me now and I'm considering changing it just for those, but the composite is fine for my PS3 and Xbox

whowantstwoknow

None in Tesco in Newbridge.

Anybody know the model number? Just wondering if I should bother continuing the "search"?

It's when you don't pay for a TV License


In the UK they use an older MPEG2 system and are adding on some channels in MPEG4 for High Definition. Same is true for other EU countries that rolled out Digital TV early.

We are just skipping MPEG2 and going straight to MPEG4.

If you don't use a TV aerial it's academic


If you can pickup Welsh or NI channels on your existing TV aerial attached to your chimney you would be able to pick them up in digital as well.

If you have a TV aerial and don't have SKY / freesat / UPC / Cable then you may need to buy a CAM card or set top box in 18 months time, but you'd have to do that anyway.

not true - if you live anywhere that can pick up the UK channels via aerial (ie most of the east coast and border areas) you can probably get UK freeview via the same aerial. What you won't get is the irish version "saorview" but the irish channels will be available in analogue for a few years yet.
