40 inch LCD HD Ready TV Humax Digital LDE 40A

I have no idea about plasmas or LCD TV's, but this appears to be a decent price:-

To my untrained eye, this may not be as good a deal as the Aldi one - perhaps the experts could let us know?

    Not a 'bad' price but the fact the company who are selling it can't spell 'definition' and the "more details" revealing:

    Supply AC 200 ~240V 2 pin (needs to be changed to UK 3 pin)

    (Which I thought was illegal to sell these days in the UK)
    They promised the earth...and delivered mud. Technically though it did meet the spec.
  • Humax are possibly the best provider in the UK market for Digital Terestrial Television. Expensive but good!

    I know John Lewis expensive, but 5 year peace of mind is probably for some, and there's that £20 voucher knocking about too.

    I don't believe it has Freeview built in though - the 'digital' part of the name being a bit misleading.

    I have a feeling this isnt a UK model as it doesnt mention a this 40" on humax UK web site only a different model, so if its digital it may not work for UK.

    Humax make brilliant digital set top boxes, I have three of them of different models.

    Just to reassure people, although I'm pretty ignorant of LCD/Plasma specs etc, I have used the company itself, Rambox, for quite a long time when buying my media supplies - always quick delivery and on the one occasion I had a problem (Parceline hadn't delivered) they were only a quick phone call away and very helpful. They even phoned next day to make sure the delivery had arrived.

    This is true, Humax are possbly the best when it comes to top notch digital viewing.

    also, might be worth to note
