Cheapest TV out Hanspree 37" LCD

kizzykizzywizzy

Thanks for your help on the HD query, still searching for a TV can't fit 37" in space next to fireplace, will have to go for 32" unless wall mounted, above fireplace, then what do people do with thier dvd players, freeview boxes etc??? I've always wondered, because can't put below as fireplace there ( victorian non-working ) otherwise where do the cables go.
Sorry to sound so dim, but really want to order today if poss & the wall mouted versus on stand but smaller is a problem.
Thank you again for all your help, could do with discussing with my hubby, but he is on a ship & no phone signal at the moment, only e-mail & they only get sent out once a day!!!

sorry another question - have seen that the hanspree has an analogue tuner, will it work when we go over to digital??

kizzykizzywizzy

have just found the answer to analogue tuner question - apparently you will need an adapter to allow you to view digital programs through the aerial after February 2009 unless you have a digital tuner.
You will still be able to view via cable & freeview without a digital tuner.
Hope this is correct

Found on another site that the changeover in my area is not until 2012!!! so won't worry about that, if I need to get a new TV this one can go in the bedroom as my old one, that I'm going to put in the bedroom will either be dead or nearly 10 years old by then, it's only 5 years old, but is rubbish! Only buying a new one as my 15 year old portable has died.

Sorry this is turning into my TV buying diary, but a big deal for me!
I have now plumped for the 37" from BT shop have ordered will be in stock in 1-2 days:T have gone through quidco too.
Was going to go through ebuyer as they have a good deal with a half price stand for the 32", but got an email from hubby & I know he wants the 37" we will all have bad necks as our living room is SO small :rotfl:
It looks beautiful with it's high gloss finish, can't wait to get it now:p
Thanks so much for all your help

Kizzy, thanks to you you asked some of the questions I wanted to know the answers too and I am so tempted by the BT offer too

Can you let me know how you get on?

kizzykizzywizzy

Sure will Suggs, Tv has already tracked with quidco about £7 odd off as they pay on price less vat.
Have spoken to a friend ( professional TV & aerial man ) who will fit the TV for me, will only charge me £60 usually charges around £130, sounds like I will be having the cables in concuit down from the middle of the TV, along the mantle ( yuk ) & down to the skirting board & connected to DVD & Virgin box, will still have to have them on some kind of shelf or something, haven't figured that one out yet, he has advised me to get a tilting TV mount instead of a fixed one & also as I have a small front room to sit & look at where the TV will be for about 10 mins to see if it hurts your neck!
I may see if he can drill through the chimney breast instead.
He also advised me I would need to buy longer cables, going to ring him up now I've decided on this one & see what I need.
So far I have seen a tilting bracket from e-buyer £34.98, & looking on sites I have seen quite a few scarts that are 1-2 metres long, some even have plug on ends to the scart leads, so you can poke them through the wall the pop the end on.
I can see I'm going to have another LONG day on here looking for things:eek:

Update;

Spoke to TV installer, needed 2 x 3metre scart leads & will also need a "kettle lead" so I can plug the TV in as they usually only come with short leads! will check out when it arrives, to make sure I get connection right.
I have found a cheap wall bracket from Maplin ( via quidco again 3% ) £29.97 & is adjustable there are only 7 left ( A86H3 ) fits from 30" - 63" so if you want one get it now, also bought 2x 3m scarts £9.99 each, free delivery over £35 ALSO if you spend over £50 there is a box to click for £3 off! in the checkout page, so bought 2 x batteries for my bathroom scales £1.99 each - so got them for a pound really.
Hope this helps someone:D
Maplin have already tracked on Quidco another £1.84 ( better than nothing )

I was going to mount mine above fireplace but i would end up with a stiff neck lounge is only 11 by 11 so im knocking the fireplace out

Wish it was that easy for me have an original Victorian cast iron tiled fireplace & as much as I love the TV, couldn't bear to lose the fireplace!
Could always move house I suppose :rotfl:

What could people suggest for a cheap decent wall mount to go with the TV? Thanks
