    Higher quality TV from Sainsbury's.

    32" LCD TV. £250.00 with free delivery.. (verses £204 for the Tesco's model). //!!!!!!/4KY2Ny insert "http:" at the beginning.

    If I hadn't just spent my last £1.25 on all those chocolate Oranges from Argos, I'd buy one myself.

    Thats not 1080p!

    I tried a few Tesco, all out of stock, but have a picture of the £199 price from the shelf, it is true.

    Its not even 1080i either:beer::beer:

    1080p == 1920 x 1080 progressive scan (50 frames a second)

    1080i == 1920 x 1080 interlaced (25 frames a second)

    The TV you pointed out doesn't have all of those pixels, its ...

    1366 x 720 or .................

    720p

    Its the 1080p that makes this such a steal at £199

    ..If it's not an 1080i, why is it ticked as such on the specification sheet?
    Are you accusing Sainsbury's of mis-selling and mis-advertising?
    Would you still be happy with a 1080P TV, if the picture and sound stopped working after 4 days and 6 hours?

    The TV advert does say "selected stores only" though.....

    Not at all, as they state its 1366 x 768 (my small mistake there)

    The tick for 1080i means that if you feed it a 1080i signal then it can display it, as it will downscale the picture from 1920x1080i to 1366x768 - which is this sets "native" resolution.

    As per all UK goods, this will come with a 12 month warranty, so if it broke down I would of course not be happy, but would know that Tesco would take care of me. I assume you've had a bad experience?

    The Sainsburys TV is described as "HD Ready", the Tesco one "FullHD or 1080p".
