Technika 46-920 46" LCD

[Wodjno]

Tesco have this for £499 ! Is it as good as a deal as it seems? Or is it a crap TV?

Oh Wodj - Buying a new TV is a minefield - I've been researching for months to replace my Philipps 32" (£1600 just 5 years ago!!!!!).

It is 1080p (tick) and has plenty of HDMI (4 - Another tick)

Contrast ration is low o the blacks may not seem so black. Doesn't give any info on Refresh rate - I want a minimum of 100hz for gaming and sport.

Sound will almost certainly be iffy but if you hook-up through a home cinema box then will be irrelevent.

At that price it's almost worth taking a punt!! At worse you'll have a very big PC monitor ;-)

That's a much better and bigger TV for only a £100 extra.

Or buy this Sammy if £500 is your budget cap; http://www.richersounds.com/product/.../sams-le50b430

Curry's currently have a special offer on a 50" 1080p LCD Samsung for just over £400....or so I am told by my colleague.

Seems incredible to me.


Technika - if it's just for watching telly in the kitchen of something, it's fine. It wouldn't be my choice of brand for a "sit down and watch" TV.

Bought one last Jan for Son's birthday , was a 37" lcd with full HD , only cost £400 then and it is a great tv with 0 issues at all

we got 2 of the 19"" ones for the kids wi the ipod dock and they seem to be not to bad, eventhough they are only for playing their computers on.

The picture on mine (technika 32") is very good as i do beleive the screen is a samsung unit. Yes the picture isnt quite as sharp as some high end units (due to the graphics driver), and the sound isnt as good a quality as others. But fer less than 400 spondoolies, its a tidy looking good telly
