This offer is only on until close of business Sunday night.

I know a few people who have bought this TV and they have nothing bad to say about it! For €399 I reckon its a good buy. The picture on the Xtra-vision website is wrong but the one above is correct.

Looks a good deal allright,I'm tempted

There's a review of the TV from Tech Radar here.

We liked

The 42in full HD resolution screen, multitude of AV inputs and computer monitor potential are all definite plus points. We also appreciate the Common Interface slot, as this provides a migratory path to digital terrestrial pay-TV services.

We disliked

The picture and sound quality, which fall far short from what one can expect from an LCD TV today.

The instruction manual also leaves much to be desired

Final verdict

If you're after a large-screen computer monitor and only plan to use the TV for sporadic non-critical viewing (sports scores and news headlines, for example), then the SJ42DMBB might fit the bill.

But be warned. It's as true today as it ever was - you get what you pay for.

I strongly advise you not to buy one of these TVs. Ive had mine 6 months now, the picture is very poor & pixelly, if your watching a football match they go in slow motion from time to time. I ordered a boxing fight in HD one night it was like watching a PS3 game everything in sllow motion & freezing.. The volume is turned up to 60 via a sky HD box before you can hear anything. Then last week the censor went cant turn tv channels or volume. I went back WITH my receipt to the shop they wouldnt entertain me told it was over 28 days, its nothing to do with them, phoned the company they wanted me to pay E15 for a box for the courier to bring it other wise he wouldnt. I explained i couldnt be in the house all day as both my partner and i worked, so i asked if they could give me a quick call b4 they arrived as i only worked 5 minutes away fom my house, no way would they call me. AVOID you have been warned.
