Page 1 of Cheapest Widescreen avaliable at the moment...

Could you help, i`m looking for a widescreen not to fussed about make just as long as its widescreen, whats the cheapest you know of at the moment, thanks.

Try Makro, they have a Watson 28" for £219 + VAT= £257.32

Currys have a cheap Matsui 28" - 28WN05 , I can`t remember the price, give them a ring. I`m looking around for a cheap widescreen too, but, I want to make sure it is NTSC compatible. The Watson manual does not mention anything about being NTSC so I believe it isn`t compatible.

Currys are also selling a Samsung 28" - W28W63NS for £379, which is being sold at http://www.unbeatable.co.uk for £330.96 + P&P

Good Luck

Don`t Asda do some reasonably priced Schnieder ones?

You may get lucky if you do the rounds of your local Comet, Currys etc.
A friend of mine just picked up a Sony 28" Widescreen for £300 from his local Comet store. It comes minus the manual and stand but was functionally perfect and with a minor scuff mark at the back.
The same complete model was instore for a good few hundred quid more.

Many years ago I picked up an ex display Mitsubishi 28" Nicam for around £700 when the typical shop price was around £850. Six/seven years later it is still going strong, unfortunately missus refuses to allow an upgrade until this one breaks!

Coffee down the back?

What about a JMB 28" for £200?

where can i get that from, will it convert NTSC?

Been there done that and not again. Thankfully I learnt my lesson after buying a souped up Matsui 28" Widescreen (Dolby, Integrated Digital, free Sky, MTV ect for 12 months) for £300 18 months ago.

Ok it was widescreen and it had all the extras but the picture was not very good, the sound wasn`t up to much and You had to always manually select the picture format and even then you would either have black bars, loose half the picture or both. There was also no audio inputs, S Video inputs or outputs, not even any composite inputs or outputs.

Thankfully about 2 months ago I saw a Phillips 28" widescreen with VCR for £499. I went to my local Comet who were out of stock, so went to a larger comet and got the same deal for £480.

The TV is amazing for the price, everything which was wrong with the cheep TV was fine with the Phillips.

I will never simply buy "The cheapest" in the future. My advice is get a GOOD quality widescreen at a good (cheep) price.
