Go with the 100Hz... for the sake of the difference in price... & if you get it in a "non-electircal" store - your guarantee is still as valid... a TV should last the same length of time regardless of where you buy it... just make sure you keep your receipt...
If it's of any use, Lidl will be offering Saorview boxes next Thursday (27th Oct) for €49.99 - that's the cheapest I've seen them so far.
You might pick up a bargain non-Saorview ready TV and add the box to it?
With regards to great deals from Tesco, have a think about that one. Which aisle do you go to when you have a problem, or a tech question, or if you want a hand setting it up etc. Tesco sell groceries, buy your TV from a TV electrical store.
I bought my last TV from a large electrical store, when it developed a problem 3 months later, I had a very hard time getting them to take any responsibility. From what I've heard on this forum, Tesco and the likes of Lidl/Aldi offer far better customer service.
I think people are getting caught up too much with hz's. If its hz's you are after, get yourself a plasma. They would be at least 600hz as standard compared to maximum 100hz with lcd/led.
@ kfpg, I think you should get yourself down to a good electronics store, or several stores if you can. Visually compare a 50hz with a 100hz lcd. Then compare lcd with led. Make sure that they have the tv's connected to a digital or 1080p signal as this is what you will be receiving with Saorview.
We did all of the above for several weeks and we finally decided on a LG led 50hz and the quality of picture is stunning. We compared this tv to a 100hz sony and to be honest, the lg was far superior. Much crisper picture, much brighter colours and no motion blur at all.
Hi - doesn't matter how big/small and/or specific electrical/generic shop - your consumer rights are the same... granted - some shops are easier to actually deal with than others, but any fault with the product, then you are protected with consumer law... but thats separate to original post
Kfpg- I think recommendations would be "100Hz Saorview TV".
There is a world of a difference between the various units and sometimes the bigger units offer far poorer quality resolution despite their spec.
