    Do Aldi take credit cards these days? I know they never used to.

    Nope, they don't.

    These cheaper screens dont seem to be anywhere as near good quality as the dell LCD tvs. I was watching the £399.99 black one (two diff ones for £399.99 - one silver and one black) and the picture quality wasnt great, they had another one on by the side of it for £599.99 and the picture quality was miles better but still not as good as the dell tvs.

    Any sites for reviews/ratings which include these unbranded/unknown branded tvs?

    I would rather pay £715 and get the dell TV, but obviously if theres a cheaper alternative I could be swayed :)

    Or spend 120 quid less and buy a Toshiba...

    Just checked on the Techfever site.

    Price is up to £429.49 incl VAT.

    For delivery to mainland UK add approx £10.55 @ 22kg.

    Quidco works on the net product value (£365.52) so take away 2.5% = £9.14.

    Total price => £430.90 delivered.

    If the Aldi TV is £389 then this is a difference of £41.90.

    I agree with MyUserNamesTaken, the Techfever TV looks the better product but the question now is, is it worth the extra £41.90 (approx 10% more) over the Aldi which, as terrierlady correctly points out, has the 3 year guarantee (vs 2 year for Techfever)?

    Those with LCD TV knowledge, I'm all ears! :wink:

    heres another option. this set gets great reviews on av forums and this bundle comes with a free stand and hdmi cable;

  • Dont know if anyone has looked at this before as I am only new to this forum, but how does it compare to the 32" LCD TV from Aria?

    Has anyone bought one of these before?

    Currently £440

    That is the 'Teco' discussed earlier in the thread.

    I know it doesn't say Teco but it is the same one.

    Every review I've read about this TV has been +ve.

    Geordielads - thanks for that. Same TV, higher price (incl delivery = £452ish). Nice to know there's an alternative site with similar pricing if one gets desperate!

    Geoggy - nice package, thanks! Did a quick search and found this which indicates that it's a decent enough TV and people have been happy with it.

    Decisions, decisions! :wall:
    I'm NOT political so DON'T correct me!
