Can you recommend a 28'' CRT tv?

Lanky · 25-01-2006, 14:22

Our main telly (a 12 years old 28'' Hitachi) has just given up and I'm looking for a new set.

I'm looking for a 28'' CRT that is not wide-screen.

Does anyone know if there are any bargains to be had?

Thanks

take a look on Googles 'Froogle' -

But why go for a non widescreen TV? It seems odd now that most channels and programing are in widescreen - you get the fuller picture??

have to say that with Analogue switch off looming and the fact that your last set is 12 years old I would buy widescreen.
Freeview transmissions will go to 95% widescreen with 100% on the major channels. (Widescreen 32" is the same as 28" non widescreen)
widescreen :-

Non Widescreen :-

Check Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys for legacy sets. Beko have a high reputation and if buying non widescreen you should find one for less than £150(non widescreen is legacy so paying more may be ill fated) . The majority still available are now high quality.

Already mentioned this in another thread.

A few Powerhouse stores are closing.

I picked up a Clearance JVC TV reduced from £349 to £99.
