Smile Bush 27 inch wide screen LCD HD ready TV £399.99!
All,

Just to let you know Tesco's are now doing a 27 inch LCD HD ready TV for £399.99. My wife works for tescos and got 10% off - so got it for around £350... The cheapest I've seen.

Regards

Alban

Thanks for that. Have just been down to Tesco and purchased one of these. Looks really nice. The man said that they should be £600. They have a similar one in Argos.

They were also selling lcd wall mount brackets suitable for VESA 100 and VESA 200 - maximum load weight 35 kg for £9.99 reduced from £30 ish.

I wish my wife could get herself a neat Bush too.

Did they have plenty of them?

Hiya - The Model is "Bush" LCD27TV006HD. Just bought a Philips DVP5900 Hi-def DVD player (£79.99) and DVI to HDMI cable (£29.99) and it looks absolutely wicked. I can also confirm that it is HDCP compliant (The TV decrypts DVD's through the DVI port). So a full HD system for under £450. Bargin.

We watched Eurovision last night and even through a SCART cable (Freeview) the quality was absoltely amazing. Get one if you can.

Ours needs to go back for a replacement. Spent a while programming all the channels in and then husband came to fix it onto the wall. One of the screws hasn't been drilled. Worth checking if you purchase one.

Can anyone who has bought one of these tvs please do me a favour. We have come to mount ours on brackets and found that one of the 6 holes (the outer area) hasn't been properly drilled out. We took ours back to the store and they are all the same.

Is everyone elses like this, or is it just a batch fault?

Ours are fine. Must be a bad batch. Could you not re-tap the hole yourself?

A Bush without a hole & you can mount?

That just doesn't sound right.

Nope. But it has a COAZ, 3 SCARTS, a further AV on the side, DVI and a PC VGA connection. Using a SCART for Freeview won't be a problem on this.

My wife has told me the Cambridge Tesco's where we got this from does not have any more.

That Philips DVP5900 DVD Player is not a High-Definition DVD Player as you put it. No High-Definition (HD-DVD or Blu-Ray) Players/Recorders have been launched in Europe yet. The Philips DVP5900 is a normal Standard Definition Player that upscales to 720p/1080i to makes the picture look better so you don't have full HD as you put it for £450.

That Philips DVD player is not HDCP compliant as it does not support it as it not HD Player. You would need to have either Sky HD, Telewest TV-Drive, or a PC playing back HD clips/movies to appreciate High Definition output.

The first launched HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Players will cost more than this Bush TV and a cheap upscaling DVD Players put together.

We have managed to pack it up with washers. Three of the 4 holes are really secure on the brackets, so we will try that. Thanks.

We did think about drilling it ourselves but the technical support at Bush informed us that there was something directly behind the screw that wasn't drilled.

Thanks src for that info - I feel a lot better informed now.

No Tesco staff can only buy a limited number of expensive electricals per year with staff discount, but it's not a total ban on anything over £99
