Let down by Amazon, please help us find a £400 ish 26" LCD Digital TV

feesh

We had a "Sharp LC26AD5E 26" Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV With Freeview" on order from Amazon, which is an older model but gets rave reviews. We were going to pay £370 for it.

But Amazon, after 7 weeks or so of waiting for them to deliver it, have just decided they can't fulfil our order :rolleyes:

So we're looking for a similarly priced, decent quality 26" TV with Freeview (high def is not so important to us as we don't watch much TV). Has anyone seen any bargains about?

We were thinking of maybe looking in Costco for their excellent customer service policy, even if it means paying a bit more. Also my hubbie has found this one which he thinks looks promising: http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/store/dix_page.jsp?page=Product&source_id=aw&sku=723054&camp_id=CHEETAH%20MARKETING&source_id=aw&camp_id=CHEETAH%20MARKETING

Any help or tips much appreciated!

Have you tried tescos.

That's not a bad price for that model at Dixons.

£5 cheaper at ebuyer

Samsung panels are generally regarded as being very good. Other brands use Samsung panels too, so it's worth having a google before choosing.

This one has a samsung panel. It's possibly too big for you, and it's out of stock, but it's considerably larger and costs the same.

Cheers Geo - how does that compare to this http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/3366478/Panasonic-Viera-26-TX-26LXD7-HD-Ready-720p-Freeview-Widescreen-LCD-TV/Product.html?cm_mmc=Froogle-_-Electronics-_-LCD-_-Panasonic%2BViera%2B26%22%2BTX-26LXD7%2BHD%2BReady%2B720p%2BFreeview%2BWidescreen%2BLCD%2BTV&source=5065&engine=froogle_electronics&keyword=Panasonic+Viera+26%22+TX-26LXD7+HD+Ready+720p+Freeview+Widescreen+LCD+TV

which hubbie says is recommended by the Which report?

I wish manufacturers would make their model numbers easier to understand so you know which of their TVs are higher spec than others!

You can chek between the panasonc models here.

The only real difference between the 2 teles is the LMD has 2 HDMI ports and PC input.

Vistron DB32-SD 32" TV Silver Digital Freeview
£319.99 from e-buyer. Also in black.


We had this delivered friday after ordering only 2 days before on standard free 5-day delivery! Looks good though not up and running yet as product recalled friday too as a safety issue with one of the tvs! From the reviews on their website seems good. Let you know?

We also got one of these - delivered friday am, recalled friday pm!! Ho Hum - the replacement arrives tomorrow.

I did get ours plugged in and set up though - the TV looks very nice, and the picture quality is much better than I was expecting for the price. It was bought as a TV for the bedroom, but I'd consider one as a main TV as well.
