Is something like this going to be ok? Its just for a playroom/den for TV and games.

Your man den or a kids playroom?

 

For kids I'd say it's fine and the reviews are quire reasonable.

Kids - 4 & 8.

I like the fact you can get the long guarantee with RS. ADSL wouldn't support another smart tv and even if it could something like a now tv box would do the job.

If it's for kids and from what I've seen with friends and their kids, get one as cheaply as possible that is just good enough.

It appears kids have a talent for destroying things, so as long as it's just good enough, why pay more.

There are only a few factories that actually produce big LCD panels so most TVs come from the same sources no matter what the brand.

 

Blaupunkt is a Chinese brand now, nothing wrong with that and it's probably using an old design from another major electronics manufacturer.

 

For a kids room you don't want to spend much, you know it'll end up filled with jam and lego.

Tesco are knocking out 50" technicas for £299 and it looked like a Samsung! Quality looked decent.

Cheers but that's too big. It needs to fit in a space in a storage unit.

Nearly all flat panels use tech from either Samsung or lg, licenced for the relevant manufacturer

Got a 39" technika led and its really good, BUT....ONLY if the source is hd (either my pc or consoles) the tv tuner is only sd and is a bit pants. You can hook up a hard drive though and record stuff to it straight from the telly. I would recommend one definitely, as most of the newer ones have hd tuners

I have the same blaupunkt tv (or very similar) and it has been fantastic for the last 3 years.

 

The remote failed after about 2 years, but a £10 universal one from amazon works perfectly.

****, no stock locally so I'll look again

Cheap Chinese/Turkish TV's can be OK but you must get a good (replacement not repair) guarantee.  The repair shops wont look at a TV if its not Pany, Sony, LG or Samsung cos they just cant get the parts for "brand X".

Hence looking at RS. The next available 32"-er is a Hisense at £165 with guarantee. Which is a new name to me but I see they are advertising at the Euros so must be a massive concern company specialising in non-special, utilitarian white and brown goods.

I'd guess it's a badge manufacturing outfit, but purely a guess.
