Recommend Me A TV!

Shane732

Hi Guys,

I'm currently looking at picking up a new TV. I've been looking at some of the new Sony Bravia LED tv's particularly the 40EX700. I was offer one of these for €850 today and I'm slightly regretting not going for it...

I wonder what TV you guys would recommend in a similar range (features and price!) to the Sony one above...

I'd be looking for something as follows:

37"-42"
LED
DNLA (Wi-fi option etc...)
100 Hz
MPEG-4

€850 is at the very top end of my budget currently.

Thanks in advance guys....

Hi Shane732

I can suggest checking out our 37PFL7605H - an excellent TV that might be just right for you.

http://www.philipsshop.ie/Spec%20Sheets/37pfl7605h_12_pss_eng.pdf

As you can see from the spec its a -
LED EDGE LIT LCD TV with 500000:1 contrast ratio
100Hz refresh rate with a 2ms response time
DNLA (wired but there is an optional wireless dongle available)
MPEG 4 tuner built in
plus plenty of connectivity options.

I have this on display in store if you'd like to check it out and have a play about with it.

We sell it for €999.99 but I can deduct 10% from this so it can be yours for €899.99 - only a little over budget, but worth stretching for....

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for the quick reply.

€850 is my absolute limit for this. The budget just won't stretch to €900 plus whatever cost the dongle is...

Have you anything else slightly cheaper?

Thanking you kindly for the quick reply!

Heya, also lookin for a tv, not quite so big, 32'' around, but needs 1080p, Optical audio out. Those are the only main features required, but show me a few prices plus delivery to cork. Will be following up will surround package but dont really want a huge tv!! Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Aka Ishur

Have a look at our website - http://www.philipsshop.ie/tvindex.htm

Whilst all our 32" TV's have a digital output it's of the Coaxial variety only and not Optical - how much of a problem would that pose too you?

Delivery to Cork on a 32" would be around €20.

Pretty much have all you'll see on our site in stock.

if anything catches your attention let me know and I'll do you a price.

As a starting point check out the 32PFL7605H - a very fully featured TV with great image quality and feature set.

DLNA is pretty important to me - it's all part of having everything work with each other!!! The way forward!

I'm a hard fecker to please!!

There is a very popular 42LD690 which would tick a lot of the boxes. It's so popular that we won't have any more in for approx 2 weeks, but take a look and let me know what you think.

http://www.richersounds.com/product/lcd-tv/lg/42ld690/lg-42ld690

It's very well specified and for €609 it's a bit of a bargain.

You would have to add the dongle, but it will still be well under the budget and it would even allow you to take the 5 year cover on it if that's of interest.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the post. Very interesting TV you've picked out there and I must admit I'm very interested in it. It has pretty much everything I'm looking for with the exception of LED technology.

I was reading some reviews of the TV and a number of people seem to be saying that the TV doesn't actually have DLNA technology. Does it have DLNA technology? For example I have a NAS that can stream movies etc... wirelessly would the LG be able to pick the stream up?

I'm sure you guys could do a good deal on it for me?!!

I'm still very interested in the Sony and also the Philips as well.

Ah crap the decisions!!

Hi again.

The LD690 is rated as DLNA. http://www.lg.com/uk/tv-audio-video/televisions/LG-lcd-tv-42LD690.jsp

The only thing that would need to be checked is that it will play all the file formats that you need it to via that connection.

The DLNA can be player from USB.

For the full manual, click here : http://www.lg.com/lgecs.downloadFile.ldwf?DOC_ID=KROWM000246101&ORIGINAL_NAME_b1_a1=eng.pdf&FILE_NAME=KROWM000246101.pdf&TC=DwnCmd

And check out page 136 of 267.

At the 609 Euro price, that's as cheap as we can do it, but as usual, let us know if you see it cheaper. Delivery would be €39.

Cheers


Dave

I'm still on the hunt for a TV - I came across this

It looks like a serious deal - are you guys able to price match?
