Asda Dual 20" LCD TV Scart missing !!

gandalf999

I have just purchased one of these from Asda in Watford. Very good picture BTW.
There is one problem though, the display model had 2 Scart sockets but the one I have got has only one scart socket as do the other couple of boxed ones they had.
Asked about it and did not get a good answer " That must be what they are sending us "
Asked if they had any older ones out the back and he said no. I believe he was not interested in looking.
Can anybody tell me if all the Asda stores have now replaced the 2 scart models with the single scart models.
If anybody sees any 2 scart models in my vicinity ( Watford ) I would love to know.
Cheers
Nigel

No problem, I paid £279.97.
Brilliant picture. Good sound. No dead pixels. Cannot see any smearing.
I have been told that these TV's are made by BEKO.
I can live with only one scart but it just annoyed me that the display one had 2 scarts.

In the interim (and in case you don't get any joy from Asda), you could consider a scart multiplier. Have a look here for prices. They're not that expensive - although obviously you've stumped up enough already. Just a thought.

Scart multiplier - £1
Good old Poundland!!!!

For an extra £100 you can get a 26" wide screen LCD from Dell

Complain to the manager saying that they're selling under false pretences. They might go and investigate - or better still knock off some money. Otherwise complain to Trading Standards.

I have sent a message, using Asda's online form, to customer services.
What I really want is the email address of Asda's Managing Director, anybody know it ?
Complaining in store was a waste of time.

Cheers mate.
I found the name of the CEO of Asda and have sent him a letter.
