Hi guys,
was looking at next week's offers and saw the 32inch tv

http://www.aldi.co.uk/

Is the TV worth getting??

looks nice, shame it hasn't got freeview built in though

I know, if it had a built in digital tuner I'd have bought one.

It looks like the same old one from last year, and probably is

NX3

If it is the same one as last year read the comments on avforums before buying one. An awful lot of people had a lot of problems.

They've hiked up the prices on the garden furniture. I bought the very same table and parasol last year for £39.99 and £14.99.

did last years one have hdmi input? wall bracket for £29.99 seems a good deal though

Very good deal and very good spec for this telly. Very similar product on lowestonweb.com (Evesham 32" LC) for £749 (although going through quidco gets you £22.50 back).
Benefit of this Evesham TV is you can read reviews of what other people think of it....and has had very good reviews. Pity you can't find out what people think of this Aldi one - unless you look on places like avforums and if as NX3 says reviews aren't too good, may not be worth going for the Aldi one ... in my opinion....

P.S. Evesham has a 3yr on site warranty as well - and the telly has a built in subwoofer!! :O)

Yes it is the same model as last year though with a few tweaks such as HDMI... in my opinion this will make little difference to a TV that was advertised incorrectly, proved to be very "fussy" with HD input sources and had terrible support from Tevion.... Aldi to be far were kinda stuck in the middle I think... In the end most of us got a full refund...

Doesn't appeared to have been posted before


Aldi's special this week is a 32" lcd for 699.00

Spec below

Seems ok to me??????

This TV has an absolutely mind-blowing specification for a set that is under £700.

Can any other similarly priced TV offer so many features?
