Lidl - black friday

fryup

What do you reckon..are those TVs worth a punt? or could i get them cheaper else where?

they seem to be older models, but still a good price i think

btw - the printer seems a steal as well

Samsung 32" not great value, it's only 720P - I bought a newer 1080p Samsung 32" for the same price from DID a short while back. I'm sure it's a grand TV but I wouldn't be breaking down the door to buy it at €199.

The laptop is pretty good value for an in-store offer, considering it's an SSD model with a bag/mouse/USB stick.

Printer also pretty decent, I know DID currently have a similar all-in-one model for 29.99 reduced from 59.99, unsure of the model though.

The generic 10" tablet is about average, but €60 for the Lenovo Tab 2 is pretty hard to argue with, even though it's an older build of Android.

doesn't really matter on a 32" does it ?

Atlantic Dawn

Any ideas what stock levels will be like, are we talking single digit amounts per store?

Would the 40" tv be a good buy ?

Anyone know what processor the laptop has? Can only see Intel in the description.

I'd disagree... both are only 1GB RAM and low resolution which is really not enough now and unless you can update to Android 5+ I would probably look elsewhere myself.

how about that 40" samsung....old model ?

Might take a punt on the IP camera, tenner cheaper than Amazon. TP Link gear is usually daycent enough.

I'm using a TP Link router here. It's cheap & cheerful, but it gets the job done. Not the best in the world, but grand for the price.

I need to buy a TV and was looking at Lidl's Black Friday sale - 32" Samsung Series 4 HD ready, 1366 x 768 resolution and one year warranty for €200. I'm not too tech-savvy so just wondering if it's worth queuing for or can I do as well elsewhere. Thanks

Its an OK tv, nothing special, the price isnt special either. I think 32inch is a bit small too unless its for a small room/bedroom.
The bigger Samsung is an unknown as they haven't put up a model number for it. If its a 5000 series model than your playing a game of roulette, as in you might get a Samsung panel or you could get a Sharp or other generic panel

on the lookout for a basic laptop for myself does the lidl one represent good value. ?

What's it for?

If web browsing and some basic documents etc.

There is far far more value for money and speed in a Chromebook. Go to Amazon.

Just wondering if the 32"Samsung has a usb connection for chromecast etc?

Kennypowers we have a chromebook and print directly from it all the time. The only thing I find majorly restrictive about the chromebook is there is no microsoft office. Google docs is pretty rubbish in comparison.

Office 365 is available online, I use it on my chromebook all the time. They are also available offline.

This was sorted about 2 years ago no need to use google docs at all tbf.

They are a great machine for pretty much most normal users.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume chromecast connects via hdmi?

It's opposite 'Foxrock Close' and some other 'Foxrock' street but isn't really Foxrock at all at all, not that it matters in any way, it's a very nice area.

Ah I get ya, They pack a wall adapter in the box for that surely? I'd be surprised if any TV being sold now didnt have at least 1 usb port

I tried the three Lidl stores in Limerick this evening for these and all gone.
Anybody know if you can get outdoor versions of these.

colm_mcm

No they're all indoor.

Foxrock village is west of the N11

It does when you're paying the same price as other places sell better 1080p panels, which is actually what I said in the full quote, not that it should be avoided because it's 720P.

It also matters if you're using a PS4 or XB1 (or connected to a PC, etc), which both work on 720P panels obviously but 1080p is a better choice.

I was just pointing out that it's not a bargain, just a very average price, every retailer in the country has 720P tv's for that price and better in some cases.

Anyone test out the IP Camera ?

Dingatron

Bought 2 ip camera's. One has failed so will go back the other one works grand and I'm happy with it, hopefully i just got a bad one. Can't get port forwarding working on Eir(F2000 modem) but not an ip cam issue.

the bigger one is a hospitality/hotel model...does that make any difference to the quality of build??

Very happy with it. Cant comment on how it stands up against other products as I just saw it and purchased. But for me I wanted it to sit in the kitchen to keep an eye on a pet. It works very well. Easy setup. I have only viewed stream on phone and the quality seems fine. Night vision works very well.

I believe it is possible to setup movement notifications via email. Would like to see a multi user function for the app but it seems just a single user.

Apparently it can act as a wifi extender as well which I haven't tested.

blacksasha

Hi, yea got one also to keep an eye on our pet dog, works fine, cheap item for 25 euros. Happy so far with it works grand.

A 32inch tv is not small ok its not huge either but its a decent size. I remember when everyone thought a 26inch tv was huge.

colm_mcm

That's a bit like saying you don't need HD. Expectations change in line with what becomes normal.
