screw ever buying anything that isn't branded!

had nothing but trouble with cheap unbranded stuff

 

[AlexS]

Sainsburys have 42" Sony Bravia LCD's HD ready, built in free view etc, £899.

 

[Gumby]

It's an LG panel though - pretty much the best you can get.

 

[thecremeegg]

looks good to me! cracking buy!

Is it 1920x1080p though?!

Oh, I don't know - I want one but blatantly won't buy one lol

 

[rory182]

can get a 40" samsung for under £700 if you check hotukdeals

 

[dk]

this seems a fantastic buy

The panel may be LG but what about the rest of the components/processor not to mention the fact it's FUGLY.

Look at McBunny and his "superb" (my play on words not his) bargain Goodmans 1080p LCD. How long did that last?

If you want something decent then unfortunately you need to pay for it.

 

[FiXX]

that and the fact that lg panels arent even good....

Lads,

it is a branded product.

Just because it doesn't have 'Sony' Or 'Panasonic' stuck on the front, doesn't mean it isn't going to work like the others. You get a free 3 year warrenty, which is great. Also a free fitting bracket.

I got my LCD from Lidl in May last year. Not had a single problem with it! Was 800 notes, reduced too 500 notes.

I used to work in a tv factory years ago and there are only around 4-5 makers of tv's around the world.They all use each others parts all the time.
Buying this TV is a great deal as it will have the latest technology that can make a 47" panel.
Dont be put off by a different label as underneath it will be very good

while in a away this is true there are only really 4 main fabricators for lcd panels sony, lg, cmo and auo there are others but they are the big ones

while the end products share the panel they dont share the processing capabilities of the better tv's its just a fact

 

[The Hoff]

that and the fact that lg panels arent even good....

And heres someone who doesn't have a clue, go do some research!

LG panels are spot on, until recently Sony used to use them in their Bravia range.

That's not a half bad deal either!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

It was on tv a couple of months ago , i think it was the gadget show . 90% of manufacturers use LG panels for their tv's .

[The Hoff]

^Panasonic now make their own panels too.

 

[McBunny]

yes they do but they make them just for their own use
