Hi all

Just seen this on the KGB deals site.

http://www.kgbdeals.co.uk/national/deals/135589/40-inch-hd-led-tv---cello-electronics---national?&utm_source=et&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailydeal&utm_term=135589&utm_content=national&kidgb=804f30a6-a3f6-102d-a943-4040747c9ad5

Anyone know if its any good? Have looked for reviews but no joy.

Thanks in advance

Mark

    Nah. Very likely to have rubbish speakers, can't see what the remote looks like, and it's only got a Freeview SD tuner, so that 'Full HD' screen will go to waste unless you plug something else into it. But I'm a bit of a TV snob!

    I'm not impressed by a website which asks you for your email address before it shows you anything...

    I've never met a cello tv that worked to an acceptable level. Steer well clear.

    There's a little x on that pop up that gets rid of it and lets you view the site

    As for Cello, they're a UK company that assemble LCD tv's in the UK but they're fairly budget orientated and likely to be Chinese or Turkish in origin but screwed together here.

    http://www.celloelectronics.com/

    They make TV's for various retailers as well, they're gonna be budget and fairly cheap so set your expectations accordingly.

    i saw a LG LED tv in azda recently, given it is a ex demo, it was only £235.00. was this one http://direct.asda.com/LG-42LS3400-42ins-Full-HD-LED-TV/000540771,default,pd.html.

    i'll admit im a nightmare when it comes to shopping for electrical items such as TV's i never pay the ticket price and will hop from one store to the next to find a manager who will discount on either a stock item or ex demo!.

    I must have been diverted by the people on the left...

    yeah I can understand that!

    Don't think I'd be using this site though, gotta watch those commies, red under the bed and all that... still at least the KGB aren't just into secret stuff these days, that's progress.

    Yes I think they did / do and probably include a 5 year warranty as they usually do with TV's.
