Would usually say Silvercrest, but I don't know if they dropped them for everything, or just the burgers?

I think aldi electronics are usually branded as Tevion - no idea who makes them though

Got one of these before, sound is really bad unless you connect it to a surround sound.

that's true of a lot of flat screen tv's though

Bought a TV from aldi a few years ago and it never had a headphone jack , caused all kinds of problems. So just to makes sure you double over on the specs , just something to look out for.


ps : i know this one has a 3.5 mm

Saw a Walker Tv in Powecity yesterday that was on offer for €199 (only for yesterday and today) for €199.

It was a 32" Full HD telly. 50hz refresh rate.

Good price if anyone is looking for a cheap telly.

And for those who couldn't get a TV at Aldi, Powercity do 37" for €349, and 40" for €369.

I bought the last 42" tv deal about 1.5 years ago, and it's still running strong. Very happy with it

Yeah good value, you can buy online and collect, or they'll deliver and remove old TV for extra €10: http://www.powercity.ie/?par=10-12-WP32FHD&pages=1&prod=WP32FHD&brands=WALKER&image=

Sorry for my ignorance, but I thought that TVs with USB multi-media ports were able to play avi type files and maybe even record to a connected USB device, but it appears on this set the USB multi-media port may only be for viewing photos (jpgs). Would there be any televisions around this price range where the USB port is a media player or can record to an external drive or is that function only available with televisions in a much higher price range?

USB playback is quite common, e.g. this tv.

Annoying there's no full spec list. Would like to know refresh rate.

Will this recieve Rte etc out of the box or will I need a Saorview box also?

It's got a DVD-T tuner, so it will pick up Saorview channels with the aid of an aerial.

SallyRider

It says Saorview approved, so it should get Saorview channels with an aerial and sufficient reception.

Yes you should. The aerial you need depends on how near you are to the Saorview transmitter. There's a coverage map here: http://www.saorview.ie/what-is-saorview/make-the-switch/coverage-map/

If it's the same as the 22" they sold a while back it's "e-motion".

The ad for that particular one didn't mention usb playback, but it does have it (will handle a 2.5" external HDD as well as a USB stick)
It's Saorview and picks up all the UK freeview ones too, but the ordering of the channels is a right pita.
The remote is very cluttered and un-intuitive so along with the channel ordering, makes it not-ideal for the oldies.
Perfect TV for the price though.

Now, as for the 40"? No idea, but I prsume it's much of a muchness.

There should be a sticky thread dedicated to Aldi/Lidl media equipement and TVs....

Max of 3 so not going to happen.

I got a tevion TV like 5-7 years ago and still running perfect today in the living room. It was a 500 euro for a basic 32" TV that was 720p with two HDMI and two scarts + composite and TV aerial port.

Great to see price dropped and you get even more

I wouldnt imagine it to be anything over 50Hz/60Hz. If your not a gamer, probably wont really matter that much.

Pique

TV signals aren't broadcast over that anyway. Most gamers use tvs instead of the expensive high refresh monitors cos they cost as much for a 27" as a 40" TV.

evolutionqy7

Refresh rate does make a huge difference to high quality content, like movies, games. First time you'll see it, you'll probably think its not natural.

The Samsung TV I have in my room is 200Hz and it's brilliant, but I paid twice the price of the Tevion one too

Bought one of these last year. Seemed good unit clear picture etc. Unfortunately it developed a fault and had to be returned for repair. Then the difficulties really started. Despite packing it back in its original box and adding additional protective materials it came back from Sly Media in deplorable condition. The body was badly damaged and appeared to have been forced open with a sharp tool, the screen was scratched, several screws were missing, something large was rattling around inside it and to boot the fault had not been repaired. In fairness I returned it to my local Aldi store in Santry where the manager gave me a full refund. I then purchased a much more expensive Toshiba which has woeful sound quality. I had to buy a soundbar.
ps Last Christmas I was lucky enough to win a 42" Walker HD. Great unit with very good sound.

I've noticed a big difference watching football on TVs with 100Hz+

Not to shoot down the OP but Powercity are selling a 100HZ 40" Toshiba for €369.99 or a Cello 39" 50HZ for €299.99
