ALDI 40" lcd T.V

Surely 1080i only needs 540 horizontal scanlines anyway?

I don't know if this is an indication of the price for the 40 inch Medion but today my local Aldi has reduced the price of their 32 inch Medion LCD from £699 to £499.

What is an extra 3 inches worth
(unless your the male lead in a !!!!!! film, :rotfl:)

HDMI interfaced 37" LCD in Sainsbury's selling for £699 !!!!!

The no quibble return at Aldi is only 12 months regardless, the extra years guarantee is always with the manufacturer.

This may be a stupid question, but there's no reference to the tuners being digital. Does this mean this will still need a 'freeview' box? If so, how does that work with two tuners?

This nornmally gives it away ... "Nicam stereo" which means it will have at least one analogue tuner. My guess would be that both would be analogue, but could be wrong.

Yeh - got that!!!

The question was, if the tuners are both analogue, the TV will need a digital box to receive Freeview. But, will two tuners require two boxes?

Unless you are refering to the 42" Plasma one that I posted about, or one of the others that people have been talking about, why do you think it has 2 TUNERS ???

The Thurs 7th Sept Aldi special - 40" LCD as per the original post doesn't mention 2 tuners or PIP.
Just the LG tuner

If you're buying your TV for HD (360, PS3 or standalone players)

I should just add modded XBOX to that list. XBMC and several games support 720P, and some even 1080i

Wrong,

The responsibility ALWAYS lies with the retailer without fail. however if the manufacturer offers a warranty above and beyond how long this television should reasonably be expected to be without fault (usually accepted to be a year, but can be taken as longer) then that is their choice.

L.S.D.

All the adverts, the original & this mentioned the twin tuner, here is a quote from the present add' on the Aldi site http://www.aldi-stores.co.uk/special_buys/index.html

Twin Tuner multiple picture choice

Offering the ultimate in viewing versatility, you can watch two different programmes at the same time on the massive 40" screen, and you can choose to situate the screen either on a shelf, cabinet or table, or hang it picture-style on the wall with the FREE tilting wall bracket provided.

Thanks for this - but this is different to the original advert.
