Aldi opened a new store yesterday in Hounslow. I popped in out of curiosity and was very impressed with the 17” LCD on offer at £329.99 with a 3 year warranty. Permission was granted by ‘er indoors and the deal was done.

I have to say that the quality is excellent. I already have a 15” Sharp LCD in the bedroom so I can make a good comparison. Setup was automatic, picture is clear and vibrant. I have to say the mainstream names have a lesson to learn when it comes to connections. It comes with,

1. Scart Lead
2. Video lead
3. Audio lead
4. “S” Video lead
5. 15 pin D-sub computer lead
6. PC audio lead
7. Aerial lead

My Sharp came with just a mains lead.

My only problem is that I cannot find a code to make my Sky remote control the TV. Any ideas?
