Rovertech 2.0

Was looking at getting either of these:

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/logik-l24d ... 6-pdt.html

And pronto too after my computers monitor died today, but nothing around that size and price seems to be in stock anywhere.

Going down Costco with a mate who has an account to see what they have on offer, but other than that I'm pretty stumped really. Found a few good deals on some other sites but they tend to have awful warranties, ranging from 3-6 months!

So, ideas? Just want something 22-24" 1080p for under £130 with a decent warranty!

Ok, FORGET PC World, Currys Digital, Dixons etc.

You get goods for which the QC is cr@p, just because you're buying branded goods doesn't mean anything. I had 6 Sony DVD recorders from them in 6 months. Well, when I say from THEM, I mean Sony. PCWDCD crapworld didn't want to know. They just kept sending replacement units (probably from PCWDCD's repaired stock).

Nip down to RicherSounds. I got an end of line Toshiba 32" LCD 1080p tv for £249 including a 5 year replacement warranty. I'll be getting a DVI to HDMI adapter cable to run my PC on it.

I think he wants one with a receipt, rather than a charge sheet....

Bingo

Warranty is what I want, and plenty of it!

Although it is too late now, try signing upto Groupon/Livingsocialdeals etc as they sometimes have offers. One last week was this;

Birmingham was already prepared for it. You cannot get served for a Twix unless you are stood behind a bandit screen.

I hope you only whispered that otherwise they will put their council tax up!

Who cares about a warranty? Biggest scam going..."Sir would you like to pay £30 a year for the same level of cover as your statutory right?"

Stef I'm surprised, I would have thought you of all (power to the) people wouldn't be duped by aftermarket warranties.

i got a 20" monitor for my pc from a shop called Gigabyte at the scott arms, a couple of years ago i paid £100 for it brand new so you can more than likely get it cheaper now. It's made by Hanspree and is a wicked monitor tbh.I'm running 1080 on it and cant fault it at all. The shop also sell 22" ones and bigger.

Or have i missed the point and you actually want a proper TV

My 23" LG 1920 x 1080 monitor was £85 delivered off ebay.

Actually want a proper TV, but until I put in an aerial somewhere/siphon off the virgin media it'll be used as a PC monitor and for the Xbox/DVD's.

And no, I'm not paying for any additional warranty! A lot of the TV's I've been looking at have turned out to be refurb or graded stock with 3 or 6 month warranties. The last time I bought a TV was 10 years ago, don't really buy much indoor electrical stuff tbh.

My 28" TV in the bedroom is Hanspree. Can't fault it tbh. Bought it from Ebuyer, delivered for £170. Full HD 1080p, just about every input your could need (though it could have done with DVI)

Could you not stretch another £13 quid for this one:

http://www.ebuyer.com/170084-lg-22-lcd- ... r-m2262dpm

For that money it'd have to be 24" or gtfo

Well I tried at least.

Just when I'd given up and reconciled myself to just using my other 15" TFT monitor, BAM! 24" 1080p tv in Morisons for £139, and petrol at 129.9p per litre to sweeten the deal

Interesting that "pronto" turns out to be seven days
