    Hi

    The above tv is in Tesco for €449 down from €749

    It's full 1080 HD with usb and 4 HDMI ports. Any advice?

    Is it a bargain?

    Seems like a very good price to me.

    Also this TV works fine with Saorview.

    Screen capture of ad from Page 16 Tesco Price News - Issue 04 2011 (from 14th April 2011) below.

    As Imao points out below (see his link), same Sony KDL40EX401 TV is for sale at Powercity for €449.95. Powercity ad states TV is discounted by €150 while Tesco claims a saving of €300.

    It's 50htz, the next model up the 503 has 100htz, that would be the only bad point I see with it. I looked at the picture on them both side by side and thought it was worth the extra to get the 503. The 403 though is very good at that price.

    It plays mpeg4 and divx. That would cover avi would it not?
    That would do me.

    With firmware upgrade I've only found one that won't play, another I encoded myself plays at half speed but if you fast forward for 1 sec and play it plays normally for the rest of the movie. Overall I'd say the support is very good.
