Title: New TV (£170 budget)
Post by: Khare on 30 June 2012, 20:33
A friend is looking for a new TV after his girlfriend took his when they broke up (it was a present she gave him, b!tch). So £170 budget. Size, around 32" if possible, must have built in freeview and at least 1 HDMI port.

they had a 42 in morrissons for £199 a few days ago big tv for little cash was a basic tv but does the job maybe worth having a look and stretch the budget a little bit more  :smiley:

£170 isn't enough really, not for anything decent.  You could get some no name make, but the picture quality will be atrocious.

For about £200 he can just about get something half decent.

This.
I found most are awful, especially when hooked up to a pc or Xbox.
I would say save up at least £250 and get an LG LED jobby :smiley:

TVs they will stock for a range of time especially if they're in offer. The prices are always changing on those.
