Advice for buying new 20" TV

RiaMac_2

Please help. Need to buy 3, possibly 4, 20" (ish) tv's for christmas pressies for kids bedrooms. Must have built in DVD's and freeview. Not enough space to have separate items. Have looked at umpteeen tv's and am getting more and more confused

Seen this one on Tesco's website and thought it looked OK (£5 cashback on Quidco too along with Clubcard points - every little helps lol).

Anyone had a Technika tv before? Any good? Any better deals out there? All advice gratefully received. Thanx.

I wouldnt normally agree to a Technika. But at 200 quid your not going to do much better as there are few 'decent' tvs with a built in dvd player, and Tescos 'after sales service' is top notch.

I may be wrong but I don't think it has Freeview.

It states 'digital tuner' on the website. Unless thats wrong

Dammit. You're right.

I must be going blind. :eek:

Thanks to you both. Although the tv is only for the kid's bedrooms I'm still a bit sceptical about sound and picture quality considering the price. Any idea what they're like? Would pay that wee bit extra if it would make a noticeable difference. Cheers

If youve found any others online, can you post the links here please?
Im much more up on seperate systems as opposed to 'cheapie' integrated ones

I looked at loads of tv's but the ones above seemed ok and quite reasonably priced too. Have no idea about ratios etc so was all a bit confusing.
Your help is appreciated.

The only ones id consider are the Daewoo and the Technika
The Grundig would probably have the best picture, but their drives tend to be awful
The others I know nothing about at all and id steer clear from personally

aliEnRIK you're a star! :starmod:

Have decided to go for the Technika as it's cheaper and in stock now.

Many thanks for all your help.
