Is this a bargain or even a good deal?

    I saw today in tesco that they have for €250, a 22'' Cello LCD TV with built in dvd player. it says its HD ready up to 1080i I think it was. It also says its freeview ready, but does that matter to us in the ROI?

    So is this a good deal for someone looking for a bedroom tv for college for playing xbox and watching a bit of tv on? If not any other offers in other stores to recommend?

    EDIT: I think this is it: http://www.officeshop.ie/StoreFront/Cello-22-inch-LCD-TelevisionDVD-Black-C2297F-P-325963

    Means nothing down in the republic, unless you are very close to the boarder. Be sure to check website like pixmania.ie and komplett.com for good deals on tv's. do make sure that you are getting a year warranty and what to do if it does break down. I've never heard of cello myself, but whats the difference these days, they are all made by the same people :) Sounds good enought to me anyway.

    Cool thanks for the reply. Ive heard that about tvs being made by same people but would that mean the display be EXACTLY the same as a 22inch made by like LG? Or any differences in picture quality?

    Also is it true samsung make their own displays?

    Im thinking of having a look in currys, are they good for deals on tvs?

    You're better off sticking with brand names. Panel is only part of the TV - You also have to consider overall build quality & reliability, connections, user interface, picture & sounds control, and manufacturer warranty.

    You'll find better service in dedicated stores than box-shifters.
    Richersounds, Alliance Electrical etc, have a presence on boards or talk to your local AV retailer. You'll save money by buying online.
