Ring the store. You can reserve by the phone.

Working on IE and Chrome. Try another browser maybe.


*didn't go as far as clicking final reserve button as I didn't want to hold them up on someone who wanted them. Worked as 'item available' and 'item can be ordered'.

Not a bargain, but Is anyone having trouble with the reservations not going to their phones?

Yup! Made 2 reservations this week and neither came to the phone, but both came to email.

Also I just found these, although it'll probably not shed light on above

Yes. I did receive email alerts for the last 2 items I reserved but no text messages. I sent them an email and received a very bland standard reply..........

Same here, thought it was my phone. Obviously not.

The original price quoted for that TV is either a misprint or just completely misleading, just check it out on Argos uk and you'll see the true original price.

Pro Fitness Dumbbell Tree Set, 302/4399 these are okay quality and perfect if your fitness thoughts turn out to be short term

€12.99 and in stock everywhere

Careful with this. The holder is made of pieces of cheap plastic that you screw together; it had a sharp edge that I cut my finger on pretty badly once.

Reservation system has gone bananas

I reserved something & got the text with the reservation number but no record of it in store.
Reserved using a different phone number but no text received yet the reservation was on the system in store.

Emails have been hit and miss too

You can see all the connections here, it just has the normal aerial connection not the satellite one.

Picked up the 24" LG tv today - just to add it can play movies straight from usb stick, I know this was an issue with a previous B.A. (19" tv from carphone warehouse).

First time poster here - thanks for all the interesting stuff in on this particular board over the last while.

Regarding this Argos LG TV, I'm reasonably incompetent - if anyone can tell me if the TV can pick up non-Irish Saorview TV channels (aka 'free to air satellite channels', from the Saorview website), that would be appreciated.

I think it can't (non-satellite?), but am not sure. Thanks.

when you say non irish saorview channels ? do you mean uk channels?

It has been confirmed that this tv will pick up irish saorview channels if you live in the ROI and the uk freeview channels if you live in NI. It will not pick up any channels via a satellite dish.

Thanks for that, Kooga.

Yeah, it's perfect....ideally I'd have liked a 28" , but you're talking at least double the price and that's hard to justify for 4" extra ! All in all its well worth 130.

Seems like they've started included the response time info on a lot of TVs from what I've seen, always wanted more TV sellers to provide it so glad to see it. But it seems like most are <10 Ms, even the cheaper models, which I thought was only done on high end Bravias etc. There's no way they could be giving lower stats than the TVs actually do, right? Or are TVs response times generally a lot better nowadays since most models would have gaming modes available?
