15" tv with freeview - good value?

kentyy

thought I'd ask you clever mse folk on wether this is a good deal or not before I go spending...

I want to buy a 15" tv with freeview and a scart lead so i can add my video to it (yes i still live in the dark ages of videoing):rotfl:

I found this http://!!!!!!!.com/3azv54 at argos. It's £119.99 plus I can use £25 of nectar vouchers off that price making it £94.99.

Before you say it - I know argos can be pants but I can't find any better deal.

So do you think I should take a chance and go for this?

Hiya kentyy,
I also purchased my 1st lcd tv yesterday, and am all new to this type of thing. :eek:

Like I said, Im new to this, so I can only tell you what I bourght yesterday which was from Argos Clearence Bargains in Corby. Depending where you live in UK, I think there are a few others stores around somewhere.

As written in other posts on here - there are some good bargains to be found at the Argos clearance shop but some rubbish aswell. Mostly last years stock & seconds i think. Also you cant return.

Anyway I purchased:
Acoustic Solutions 15" LCD with intergrated digital tv
(which i think is the same as this 1 on this link:- http://www.cheapassgifts.co.uk/acoustic-solutions-15in-lcd-tv-p-396.html)

Although the TV is still in the box, have not had time to look at it yet (i did quickly check it at store before paid yesterday.)

Also if you click on this link- http://www.cheapassgifts.co.uk/sound-vision-c-67.html yo can compare details with the 1 you asked about above.

There were quite a few different lcd tv at the store (sizes/dvd/freeview ect) starting from £49.99 :T which I thought was reasonable.

I dont know how good or bad this tv is or how well it will work (it had better) so can only advise my shopping trip yesterday. Sorry I cant comment on anything else as Im still learning.:o

Also briefly looked in TJ Hughes yesterday and thier prices seemed reasonable but were mostly the bigger ones, so cant remember them.
Good Luck in buying your new tv.

I was meant to be looking for some cheap pink things, (toaster, utensils ect) for my kitchean but cant seem to find any:mad:
