Sorry I can`t help, apart from I`ve been told the 28" Schneider in Asda has a Philips tube. BTW, what`s the Bush set up sound like? I`ve seen this for £89 at QED! I take it all the amplification`s included?

Hi De Ve De!

Are these TV`s only available in store, as I can find no reference to them on Tesco`s website? Any techical data on them? OK, what colour are they?? ;-)

Hi chaps,
Being a Tesco bod,i`ll give you the information you need.
The Minato 28"widescreen retails for £279.99 and comes in a silver(rather light grey) finish.Its based on the Wharfedale m8/890 and has identical specifications eg,Nicam,16;9 user settings etc. Also selected(mostly larger stores) have an excellent Bush 28" widescreen for £299. Has a flatter tube more akin to a Sony Trinitron(crikey remember those!),and also boasts half decent sound as well-blimey.
These are special purcgase only,so its best to ring the stockists nearest you to check availability. With the vat free offer on DVD players at the mo,people are plumping for a dvd player AND a new widescreen telly.Aaaah,the joys of budget product!

Hope this helps you out

Thanks, westy! I don`t suppose Tesco match Asda`s offer of a free 3 year warranty on these sort of products, do they? A bit cheeky, as the Tesco TV`s and DVD`d would appear to be cheaper anyway! But, you never get anything without asking these days!

28inch Widescreen TVs dont do justice... 32inch does though !

Am just gonna wait for a flattish 32inch TV with RGB/S-video for less then £400-500 then its mine for sure!

Westy,

I note from an ad in today`s Daily express that Aldi are selling a Bush 28" widescreen Internet tv for just £299! Is this the same tv that Tesco are selling (minus the Internet bit)? Bush`s web site are selling this TV for £500! Link:
