5 LCD Televisions For Under £100

admin — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 15:56:54 +0000

Below we have put together a list of 5 of the cheapest televisions being sold in the UK today from Tesco, Amazon, Argos, Currys and Comet. All of these TVs are pretty small by todays standards with none being over 16 inches (does anyone else remember sitting with their family around a 14 inch CRT TV in the 80′s?). You do get what you pay for in the world of home cinema, but for a cheap television to go in a bedroom, kitchen or even a shed these televisions really are a bargain.

1: Tesco – £96.00 – Technika 16-850 15.6 inch LCD TV with built in DVD and Freeview

Not exactly feature rich, however this cheap Technika television on sale at Tesco does come with a built in DVD player and Freeview. It’s HD ready and also has 1 HDMI, 1 Scart and 1 USB connection all for under £100!

2: Amazon – £80.00 – Digihome LED16913HD 16 inch HD Ready LED TV

At £80.00 you really knock this Digihome television being sold by Amazon, ok it doesn’t have a built in DVD player like the Technika but is £16 cheaper. Although being a very cheap bargain it does have very mixed reviews on Amazon so check before buying.

3: Argos – £89.99 – Alba 16 Inch HD Ready LED TV

Another 16 inch television this time made by Alba and being sold by Argos. Yes it is a seriously ugly TV set in this hot pink colour but don’t worry as Argos do sell the same model in black (yes Argos needs to employ better photographers as we can see the reflection too). Apart from that we have little info about this Alba TV apart from a warning on the Argos page saying “This TV will not work with digital signals in the Republic of Ireland, you will require a digital set top box or satellite source ”

4: Currys – £59.97 – C15DVDB10 15.6″ HD Ready LCD TV with Built-in DVD Player

Built in Freeview and DVD player! We really have no idea how Currys are selling it for such a cheap price. Hell even if this little LCD TV has bad sound and ok picture quality it’s still a bargain! 1 of each of the usual connectors but no reviews online for this essentials C15DVDB10 television. The cheapest TV in the UK?

5: Comet – £99.99 – Goodmans LD1613 16″ LCD TV

The most expensive television in this list of bargain TVs is the Goodmans LD1613 LCD TV which another 16 inch model. Although the most expensive it doesn’t seem to have any better features that the others in this list. Reviews wise it’s no better than the others with a few issues about Freeview reception.

The Cheapest Blu-ray Player at Currys

I’ve been hunting around for the best and cheapest deals on Blu-ray DVD players currently on sale in the UK and thought I’d share the most affordable option currently being sold by UK electronics store Currys. It’s the PHILIPS BDP3200 Blu-ray Player which Currys are currently selling for £79.99! A very cheap bargain when you consider a standalone Blu-ray player used to cost the same as a Sony Playstation 3 which includes one.

The PHILIPS BDP3200 Blu-ray Player

Design wise the PHILIPS BDP3200 Blu-ray player is a slim line design and looks as good as any slightly shiney black box that you’ll hide away in your home entertainment system ever will. I still don’t understand why DVD and Blu-ray players need to be so big though. The technology exists to make them much smaller and I guess it would be just as cheap to do so!

The The PHILIPS BDP3200 Blu-ray player comes with all the features you would expect like 1080p full HD playback and 24fps processing. Old DVDs get the now normal upscalling treatment to help give your DVD collection a new lease of life. Obviously the Philips BDP3200 Blu-ray player has HDMI connections as well as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA available for HD 7.1 surround sound.

Another cool feature of the Philips BDP3200 Blu-ray player is if you connect it to the internet you can watch YouTube videos on your HD television without the need for a PC or laptop.

Is Currys The Cheapest place To Buy?

One of the problems with the Currys stores is they’re not always the best for value (although they do offer convenience). So I’ve hunted around online to see who else is selling the BDP3200 Blu-ray DVD player from Philips to see if Currys is selling it for the cheapest price and if not where you can get the best deal for it.
Amazon.co.uk £76 including free postage
Asda.com £77.95 including £2.95 postage

Obviously you might be able to find the Philips BDP3200 Blu-ray DVD player cheaper than the two online stores I’ve listed above but I’m sticking to those that are pretty reputable. So you can get it cheaper but £3 for the convenience of walking into the shop and walking straight out with your new Blu-ray player and the ability to return it should you have any problems, Currys price is actually pretty cheap.

Philips BDP3200 Blu-ray Player Reviews

Ok time for some reviews of the Philips BDP3200 Blu-ray player and the only ones I could find were user reviews on the Asda website which gives it 5 out of 5 stars. There are only two reviews of the Philips BDP3200 Blu-ray player on there which isn’t great as we always always like the biggest sample of reviewers possible. Anyway one of the reviews says:

“A well packaged well featured player for an incredibly reasonable price. The onscreen menu system is very easy to understand and follow, I was over the moon to find the USB section allowed playback of movies from my portable 250 gig hard drive as well as my Flash Drives. The picture quality and sound from this unit is superb no complaints at all. The remote control is well laid out for ease of use, All in all this is a superb buy if you are looking for a player with the extra bonus of a USB connection this is for you.”

Currys Online Deal Televisions.

Currys has a special offer on seven televisions at the moment which are online only deals which gives you free delivery on any of the televisions in the offer. Free delivery is always welcome as some companies can turn a cheap television into a not so affordable one just with an excessive delivery charge. There is a mix of both big screen plasma televisions and LCD TVs of which the Sony Bravia ones come with a free 3 year guarantee included.

LG 32LH3000 32 Inch HD LCD TV

The televisions in this Currys specialy offer are the:
LG 42PQ3000 42 inch plasma television £499.00.
Sony Bravia KDL32W5500 32 inch 1080p LCD HDTV £649.99.
LG 50PQ3000 50 inch cheap plasma tv £649.99.
Panasonic TXL32V10B 1080p 32 inch LCD TV £659.99.
Panasonic TXL37V10B 1080p 37″ LCD HDTV £659.99.
Sony Bravia KDL40WE5B 40 inch HD LCD television £969.95.
Sony Bravia KDL46W5500 46 inch 1080p HD LCD TV £1,054.95.

One thing to keep in mind about the Currys special offers and Currys in general is that although they are the online company of Dixons sometime their prices vary dramatically. For example Currys are advertising the LG 32LH3000 32 inch LCD TV for what they say is a good deal at £399.00 but if you search on google for that television model you get results from Dixons selling it £30 cheaper! The you obviously have the competition to consider too.
