I expect it's just like all the other rubbish (eg, Technika, Techwood, Baird, etc) that the supermarkets offload from time to time.

but with a 3 year warranty so does seem a fair price.

The other supermarkets do have lower quality big brand items specially made, but Aldi does sell big names under it's own banner. For instance I bought a cheap dog crate and found that the product was actually Rosewood brand, selling at almost twice the price elswhere.


Therefore it's difficult knowing whether its a cheap or quality big brand.

I've got one and am taking it back tomorrow under the 60 day guarantee. The colour is awful, the scart lead comes loose all the time and the x box connection in rubbish. I've tried numerous times to get through to the customer helpline and the line goes dead.

Dog crates are hardly electrical items and, at £169, you'll get exactly what you pay for- a piece of unreliable tat.

The Op should save up for a little longer and buy a well-known brand rather than any supermarket cheapie.

Moneymaker

Buy a known make from John Lewis, Richer Sounds, or similar dealer, and you might just have a chance of the TV lasting 3 years or more, with a decent warranty if it doesn't.

LG and Samsung have a good reputation for TV's and at good prices too. Supermarket brands can be OK for second or third room occasional viewing, but they are definitely not recommended as a main TV. They can be made by anyone but are usually not very good.

Oh? Well seeing as I have a 42'' Technika TV which has been excellent for the nearly 5 years we have had it I would say it must be a good deal.

I've got a 32" Polaroid TV that I bought from A*da. I had it delivered with my food shopping. 3 years and one house move on and its still going strong! Prior to that I had a Toshiba which died after just 13 months (annoyingly just out of warranty!) and was 3x more expensive.

If your eyes are happy, that's all that matters.
