Technika 22" HD Ready LCD TV with built-in Freeview & DVD reduced to £105

Went into my local Tescos and had a look around the electricial section like I normally do and noticed a gem of a bargin.

They have reduced their Technica 22" LCD TV with built in DVD and FreeView to £105 !!!

It is normally £160 - £170

I know it is Tesco's own brand but the box even has a label on it stating it is a Samsung LCD panel.

It is a steal at this price and it is even cheaper than their 19" version.

i have checked online and it is the normal price so it looks like it is "in store" only

Bye for now

Ben

    Bear in mind that lots of Technika's seem to fail after a year and a bit if the posts on this board are anything to go by. If it does, then the parts will not be available for a repair, as these are simply job lots bought in and badged up for Tesco. They could come from anywhere.
    All current TV's on sale have built in Freeview...

    Thanks for the heads up, but these TVs are cheap and nasty £50 more buys a proper TV that will last far longer.

    Giving much better vfm and a far better experience.

    Excuse me but i have 2 technika TVs in daily use and not had a moments bother with them for 5 years or so.

    Good picture, good sound and they look good too.

    Maybe they made good TVs 5 years ago?

    There is no such thing as a Technika TV. It is merely a Tesco brand name, they are sourced from whichever anonymous Korean manufacturer is selling them dirt cheap at the time.

    £10 wouldn't be a bargain for any Technika TV.
