    Had planned on getting an LCD TV for the bedroom anyhow, 19" would be perfect size. Is this good value for money? I watch TV in bed very rarely so don't want a super dooper TV, just something to flick on in the mornin for a few mins.

    Comments/opinions much appreciated folks! Or if you know something similar that can be gotten for cheaper please do let me know

    Yea but this tv only has 1 years warranty as the lidl would come with 3 years!

    imho i think that the lidl tv isnt bad for the price......

    I don't think a longer warranty should really affect a buying decision. Even when the standard warranty expires the manufacturer still holds a certain responsibility over it for more time than just a year. And besides, you can get a perfectly decent Philips DVD player for 40 so overall 180 for TV and DVD.

    Will this certain responsibility be for 3 years? def not!!

    usually, depending on the company, they'd cover you for an extra 2 - 3 months. Some of the larger chains dont give any extra cover!

    If you look at the returns for the Beko sets vs the returns for the Medion sets, i'm sure you'll be shocked to see which set has the less problems!!

    as i said imho - The Medion is a more reliable tv and with the 3 years warranty a better buy! any hassle - money back!

    Sorry now, hate to go on about this BUT how does this statement make any sence?

    2 tv's for sale - roughly same price & same spec....

    1 has 12 months cover and the other has 3 years?

    Would this not affect your buying decision??
