Bush have never been a great TV brand.

Unlikely to have ever been worth the full price when you can get a good brand for that price (e.g. Samsung or Panasonic). If the reduced price is what you can afford it may be worth buying, although I might be inclined to wait for Black Friday and see if you can pick up a bargain then.

As strider says , https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-UE32J5100-1080p-32-Inch-Model/dp/B00VBUYHWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447009806&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+led+tv £199 32inch full HD but not smart

Thankyou for the replies.

Yes good idea re: Black Friday.

I had been thinking re: Argos of waiting until they do the £10 voucher for every £100 spent offer again.

They were once along with Murphy, part of the Rank group.Now its just a badge stuck on cheap supermarket own brand style products.

Argos have put the Price Up Today to £199.99 :eek:


What's betting that they reduce it back down to £139.99 on Black Friday? :think:

You might as well get this for £189: http://www.johnlewis.com/panasonic-viera-tx-32c300b-led-hd-ready-720p-tv-32-with-built-in-freeview/p1999197

5 years guarantee on that - then buy an Amazon Fire TV stick to make it smart.

That does look good :beer:

Great guarantee and good idea re: Fire Stick as well !


I've 'bookmarked' it...... fingers crossed the price is reduced on Black Friday.

Are you sure you only want a lower resolution screen?

The trick with John Lewis is to wait until another "physical" shop drops its price, then get them to price match - they'll keep their 5 year guarantee also. Watch out for Richer Sounds dropping the price

We did this with our Samsung TV - and since the motherboard died 2 years after purchase, i was glad for the guarantee!

Smart TV services suck - they can be pulled quite easily; my TV no longer supports Amazon Video, and it never had Netflix. It is also horrifically slow and has a bad UI. Ok, it is 4 years old now...it now has a Chromecast plugged into it. You will be able to pick up a cheap Fire TV stick on Black friday I expect - and maybe an old model Chromecast.

Edit - also look at this: http://www.johnlewis.com/samsung-ue32j5100-led-full-hd-1080p-tv-32-with-freeview-hd/p1951621

It's 1080p, so supports higher res than the Panasonic for an extra tenner. OR.. go down to a real John Lewis as they often sell off display models quite nicely reduced, still with the 5 year guarantee.
