Any idea how much the 23" in front of it is?

Blaupunkt were sold by Bosch a number of years ago and they are now just Turkish dirt like Technika and so on. Do not buy on the expectation that you're buying from a proud German brand...

Just checked amazon and they sell 40" toshiba full HD models (with tuners that work here...) for around 320....but they say they don't deliver to Ireland for some reason. I reckon parcel motel would get it here though. Not that much of a price jump for a quality TV.

If you're doing that, Parcel Connect works out cheaper than Parcel Motel for larger items.

Woops!

Vestel make nearly all of these cheap TV's, most of them are rubbish. Some of the panels are OK but everything else about them is horrific - build quality, sound quality in particular. I bought 2 Vestel made TV's once (one was Bush, can't remember the one one...) - both faulty within a month!

Still, I would say worth a go at 299 for the size - but only if you have seperate speakers of some kind.

Needed a new TV so picked one of these up in tesco maynooth a couple of hours ago, actually very impressed. Nice looking TV with slim bezels, great picture quality, and I'm no audiophile but the sound is grand for normal TV from what I've heard so far.

Thanks OP!

Wow, that's like a who's who of generic brands.

Comparison is not correct as these are NOT smart TVs

kooga

i would prefer to have a proper tv with decent picture than some clunky hitachi smart Tv any day....................

BTw if you scroll down to the end of the argos product description you will see it was previously on sale for €329.99

They use 100HZ motion rate which isn't really 100hz. Google it. Their true refresh is 50hz.

Besides the Hitachi is out of stock
