Xbox One + 42 inch LG - HUKD

[STRBramley]

I've been in the market for a Xbox One for a while now and I've just come across this deal on HUKD.

Anyone have any experience with this TV? My current TV is LCD and 720p so I know it'll be an improvement but unsure as to how good it actually is.

 

[AdDaMan]

Epic deal. Shame I already have an Xbox one and a better tv.
And 42" is too big for the bedroom :-(

 

[banther]

WHAT?!?!?!!?!?!?! Amazing deal! No comment on TV.

 

[James28]

For the price you can't go wrong really

 

[The Fatty]

f**k thats a good deal! We have a LG 42" tv and its pretty good tbh! The truemotion is good for sports if you like sports like football etc! wish I held off and got this deal instead! Normal price would be Xbox £329, Forza £40, Tv £299 = £668, so saving £169! Well worth it if you haven't already gone full hd!

 

[Sargara]

That will easily be the hottest deal of the month right there, amazing offer. Snap it up if you are in a position to do so as these things tend not to last very long once hotukdeals brings them to the publics attention!

 

[banther]

Its only a scorcher if you need a telly though. Xbone can be picked up for £289 now without Kinect £320-350 with a selection of games.

You can't spend money to save money remember.

Just ordered mine :smile:. One of the reasons I was holding off on getting an Xbox One was due to the fact that I had an old 2007 720p TV so seems pointless having new graphics with an old TV.

 

[Matt W]

Holy crap i'm after a new TV and xbox one, but looking at 32" maximum as I live in a shed, should I just order it and work out how to fit in in the shed later??

 

[Addicted]

Of course.

 

[Matt W]

FML it isn't available anymore!

I went and got a cup of tea and my debit card and they sold out in 4 minutes

 

[Sargara]

I hate to say i told you so but my reply above....

HUKD is massive. I've been on there for maybe 7 years now. Between then and now its grown exponentially into a bit of a leviathan. Its a blessing and a curse that it has so many members.

 

[Addicted]

Yep, pretty much.

That means you'll also find more bellends trying to order 10 or 20 of said item on offer, and then wondering why it got cancelled :]

 

[Matt W]

Can't believe this was posted at 9:54 as well, i've been on here most of the day and didn't see it

It says on the tesco website that they have run out of the TV's

 

[banther]

You can get a decent 32" for £200. Xbone for £289 or one of the bundles and you're not far off.

 

[Matt W]

I can't find any near £289 though!

 

[banther]

£350 for Xbone with 2 AAA titles and a shitter;

Not saying this is anywhere near as good but you can get close with a bit of playing about @Matt W

 

[banther]

Here is the £289 console;

[Matt W]

Thanks!

That samsung one does look nice. Think it'll be plenty big enough since I currently use a PC monitor as a screen

 

[banther]

Just remember you can sell any games you dont want for roughly £35 on ebay so can be worth splashing out more upfront with games to reduce the overall price.

 

[banther]

£197 for the TV here;

Chuck whatever bundle on top and it works out quite well for you.

 

[Matt W]

Call me old fashioned, but i'd much rather buy something that expensive from a proper shop like tesco rather than 'Allshop'

Also that TV doesn't have an optical output to use with my surround sound system

 

[AdDaMan]

Old fashioned.

 

[banther]

True. Just offering it upp! its £229 at Richer Sounds, John Lewis and Tesco.

 

[Matt W]

Hmm from what I can gather with internet that blocks anything gaming related, the xbox one has an optical output, is anyone able to confirm this?

If so I could just run an optical cable from the xbox to the surround sound and a hdmi from the xbox to the tv possibly.

This setup works. I am currently doing it myself.

 

[Matt W]

Awesome. Only problem is my surround sound doesn't have an optical in like I thought! Damn it!

 

[STRBramley]

TV and Xbox arrived over the weekend.
Not used the Xbox yet but the TV is a massive upgrade on my old 720p Samsung. The colours and definition are massively improved. I suppose that's to be expected with a 7 year upgrade.
