jimeney Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hi All, I'm looking at getting a 37" LCD TV, but on a budget. Has anyone had any experience with brands such as Hannspree, Teco, Arianet, Techwood etc. who are offering TV's around the ?300 mark? Will be using this for movies (bluray) and PS3 gaming. HDMI, Component and DVI or VGA inputs would be essential, not worried about a tuner. Please feel free to give me an honest answer if these really are poor! Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimeney Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 These are likely to be uk brands I'd imagine - they can be found in supermarkets, almost their own brand electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Fahim S. MVC Posted April 25, 2008 MVC Share Posted April 25, 2008 I would stay away from these, and go to somewhere like Richer Sounds (or somewhere similar) and buy one you have heard of: http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct.ph...id=SAMS-LE37S86 I know it is ?150 more (50%) but it would be well worth your while to spend your money carefully.

jimeney Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 @ .fahim: thanks for your input. I'm really looking for someone with actual experience with some of these models, the panels likely came out of the same factory as the name brands, I just want some real life feedback if possible - I would quite happily buy a nice samsung or panasonic LCD but as I say, I'm on a budget.

+Fahim S. MVC Posted April 25, 2008 MVC Share Posted April 25, 2008 Well there are customer reviews on the internet for the Hannspree: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hannspree-YT08-37E...i/dp/B000OQDTS0 Sounds like there are lots of happy customers...

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 26, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hanspree are a good brand. Arianet is not a brand, it's just something Aria slap onto generic stuff from Asia. So I'd ignore that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
