LCD TV for £200?
copydeskcat
27-05-2006
Hi folks,

I've got about £200 to spend on a second TV. I'm looking for an LCD (the shelf in the bedroom it'll be going on can only take something 60cm wide by 30cm deep, max).

I've been hunting around, but I was hoping the forum members might be able to point me in the direction of a cheap deal for around the £200 mark. I'm not fussy about brands.

It'll probably have a Sky+ TVLink going in to it, and a Freeview box and only be used for watching the odd programme when the missus is watching Desperate Housewives on my new Philips 26" LCD in the living room).

Anyone know of anything good kicking around?

Best,


CDC

For £170 you an pick up a Dual DLCD1501 from Asda, it has composite, s-video and scart connections. It is 4:3 set and it got 5 stars from What Hifi Sound and Vision.

I have a Sharp Lcd in the kitchen which is a nice set and can be picked up on Ebuyer for £199 inc vat

Thanks jedimonkey.

The Dual DLCD1501 from Asda sounds good - do you know what size it is?

Unforunately, the Sharp looks great - but it's only 15". I really need a 20".

Cheers,

I think you will be lucky to find a 20" for under £200, very lucky in fact.

The dual is a 15inch set also, the size is hidden in the product code.

You'd be better trying to pick up a Dell 1900 (now discontinued) as at least it is 16:9 and HD ready.

Every now and again you see 'new' ones on ebay.

It has component, scart, vga and dvi-hdcp complaint inputs.

I am looking a buying the Dual DLCD1501 from Asda to use only as pc moniter as my current pc moniters screen keeps playing up. And it is an old CRT Moniter which is geting quite old now.

How does the Dual DLCD1501 comect to a pc?

Also how much are Asda currently selling the Dual DLCD1501 for?

And has anyone else brought the Dual DLCD1501 to use as a pc moniter? If so what is it like to use as a pc moniter?

I will be going out on my day off from work on Wednesday to Asda in Colchester to buy one. So I need to know the answers to my question before this Wednesday .

Thanks for the help in advance.

Not £200, but Woolworths has a 21' inch for £249... Not a well known brand or anything, but thats never stopped me, I always buy cheap brands and never had a problem yet.

It had a few inputs, 2 or 3 SCARTS, PC, Aerial etc.

It would probably do for a bedroom, and I'm afraid is probably the best you'll get

If you want a slightly smaller set, Dixons currently has a 15' Inch LCD TV on offer for £199 with built in DVD Player!
