Tesco Technika 42" Plasma - Under £400!

Mosh

Currently in-store and on-line for £399.97 (and you can use your vouchers on it). I've seen one running in-store and the picture seems superb. It's also a very slim unit and only 28kh, so ideal for wall-mounting.

A little sparse on inputs, and the usual issue of them being a pain to access once it's on the wall but it's £100 cheaper than the next real competitor at that size.

However... anyone know if it's actually really any good? I can't find any reference to this actual model online as far as reviews go. Technika seem to have a mixed reference though I'm seeing quite a few posts about "this broke, that broke" on older models and other products from them. Of course, I'd expect that - people complain about dud stuff but don't praise products that work!

The one good thing is that any problems means a simple return to Tesco for an exchange or refund.

One random(ish) question - has anyone made use of PlayStation2 light guns with an LCD or Plasma screen? Do they work just as well as with old CRT tellies? No reason for asking *cough*

Any comments on this beast? If they're good we might pick one up this week. Guitar Hero will never have looked so good...

I don't think it's such a good price - you can get a Full HD ( i.e. 1920x1080 resolution ) Hitachi 42" from Argos for £450.

Argos also do a Bush Full HD 42" with home cinema and stand for £600.

Thank for pointing that out. I'll investigate as I have around £70 in Argos vouchers to use...
