Sony 32LCD in sainsburys for £399

[seb]

Saw that yesterday doing my shopping.

had hdmi... but no idea on the resolution (720p/i etc... no idea what it was)

but it was 32 inch for £399.

Was thinking of making a purchase for my bedroom.

Anyone bought one of these? Or got any suggestions for a bedroom tv at this price?

Is it a Bravia?

 

[seb]

yeah it was

 

[AlexS]

Ah fair enough, yeah they have been selling those for a little while now both in the 32" and the 42", in the store I worked in we never had one returned and they sold like hot cakes, people always said what a good price it was. I think Sainsburys bought a set number of units of Sony, that way they could afford to sell them so cheap.
I not techical so I don't know if its any good in that respect im afraid.

 

[seb]

no worries, thanks though

i got my 32" with 1080p for £289 off so dodgy website 6months ago and its still going

All Sony's are Bravias, just the brand name. It should be the KDL32U3000, entry level 32. A great second TV for your bedroom. Will be 720p/1080i. Decent image processors and colour. 2 x HDMI etc. Basically the same technology as last year's S series which I had.

If it's the U2000 then go elsewhere as it will be cheaper as it's quite old. If it is the U3000 then that's a decent price.

cool cheers. i'll have another look.

Just read reviews and Amazon seem to be matching their prices so will be a U3000, go for it. I'd love one in my bedroom, much nicer looking than the old model.

u series are like supermarket sector aren't they? pant colour engine etc.

 

[seb]

cool, cheers for the amazon link.

tbh, i know it ain't going to set the tv world on fire, but it is for the bedroom really.

I've wanted one for the bedroom for ages as have been using a 13inch crappy tv for years now.

for 399 it is really good value imo.

That's where he saw it...As my first post said, they are entry level but it's for his bedroom, more than adequate. It's a much better model than last years too.

tbh it is only gonig ot be used for freeview and possibly PS3... but i reckon i may just hook thta up in the lounge... it will sure be better than my 22 inch samsung widescreen that i got for £64 off ebay 4 years ago! lol

but i am still open to suggestions..

[daviebroon]

My telly was about £200 cheaper there, but was still over a grand... so its not really mega cheap :/

 

[Revels]

Well then you got done. Mine was £700! lol..

Always a smart ass...Where from?

I could be wrong, & you're making me actually want to check but #I'm not running the risk of you being right

Edit: I'm wrong, it was over a grand in Currys (maybe comet) because it had a different product code but was EXACTLY the same TV... however, in Costco it was somewhere around the same kinda money you paid for yours. So not a huge amount of difference.

 

[oska]

The S3000 is available on Amazon is only £40 more and a much better TV.

i got an AOC one for £350 a year ago with 2 yr warranty, hdmi, component vga 32" 1080i and it's awesome. perhaps look into that ?
