bought a mower at aldi the other day, its been excellent

always amazed at how cheap aldis prices are!!!!

GO THE GERMANS

Is it some unknown german brand or something we've all heard of before?

Perfect for a computer monitor at that resolution? hahahahah

well, its a tv first

but theres nothing wrong with that resolution

would look fine as a second monitor

What's the difference between HD ready and HD???

damn that's a decent price for what you get...

my mate has an aldi branded tv and its not bad at all

perfect for a new pc monitor or tele for the bedroom!

Yeah that's pretty price actually. I've had a look for it at our local Aldi (Toombul) but I couldn't see it ... maybe they've sold out of them already?.

Edit: Aldi's LCD TV special

thats a s*** res for a PC monitor, my 19" wide probably has half the viewable area and a slightly higher res. Sure it would be fine from 3 meters but as a usable PC monitor? put down the crack pipe.

means it doesn't come with a digi tuner in it, so would need to buy a hd settop box.

well, ive been using my sony lcd as a second monitor at 1280x768 and its excellent

crystal clear, fonts easy to read, colours spot on etc

perfect for watching all my media on

perfect for watching all my mediaporn on

fixed.

I'm awefully tempted to buy one ... just sitting back waiting for some reviews of it first. it's previous model gets a bit of a hammering on the forums.

nG! i went to aldi at bald hills at lunchtime to have a look at the picture quality & the bald hills shop just sells food :P so i went to the strathpine westfield shop & they just had them in boxes with no display unit. :[

they do look like fine specs for the price though... thx for the heads up.

I run 1280x768 on a 27" LCD TV and it looks fine.

Aldi is only good for those sort of things. But Aldi is ruining Australia's economy. Importing and selling foreign food at dirt cheap prices, australian made and owned products are been deminished.

Heaps of the food from aldi's tastes like s*** just quietly.

Ok just went through the specs. Looks good except isnt 1000:1 contrast ratio pretty lousy?

1000:1 is pretty alrite actually!

Really?

I just looked one up on ebay, samsung or panasonic or something and it was 3000:1. Going for like $500 more than this one tho, granted.

Would be good if we could see one running

You could use it as a screen for a media centre... plus a TV. Resolutions don't matter much when they're that big. You just get yourself a MS Media Centre keyboard, and you're away.

Oh yeah, the other thing is, you knobs who are comparing its specs with a computer monitor, f*** off.

Mongie - so u reckon it's alright?

only cause somebody suggested using it AS A PC MONITOR :rolleyes:

I just got back from Aldi, was gonna check them out ( not necessarily buy ) and they're not available till thursday! do'h should read the catalogue instead of just looking at the pretty pictures :)

so did anyone end up picking one of these up?

UMART have them in stock for 849!

i think i got the last one haha

did anyone get one of these? how did they look.

ace what brand or BS? whats it like and which umart? no sign on their website of anything like this

nevermind ace is full-o-sh*t

it was an nG i just picked it up from there

you picked up a 32" LCD tv (nG brand) for $849 from umart (what branch?)

cause i emailed them and they have never heard of anything of the sort.

not telling

nG!

anyone link me to a review? Everything i've found so far is on the one they were selling last year and that didn't have PC input which seemed to be the main negative in the reviews.

word on the streets it the teles sold out at all aldis lickety split

this weeks hawt deal?

external 300 gig harddrive with usb caddy for $200

looks like the deal is on again
$869 at aldi for 32" HDTV LCD(1366x768)
from 22 of march

don't bother. Check out Computer Alliance for some good TVs at good prices. Most of them don't have inbuilt tuners, but in the age of <$99 SD tuners that's not really an issue.

Viewsonic 32" LCD - $899 We've got one of these at work with a 360 and a ps3 hooked up to it via Component. there was some colour bleed on the HDMI on the ps3 but we weren't convinced whether that was the TV or the Console ( very early ed. ps3 )

or spend a bit more LG 42" LCD $1999 I got myself one of these for Xmas at home and it's brilliant!

Holy f***ing thread revival!

dont bother going to computer alliance to get one of those viewsonics. I went in there 2 days ago to get one and had a look they seemed to be closer to a 27" viewing area, AND i waited 35min for a sales guy to even bother talking to me. After waiting for that long (I HAD A 9 MONTH OLD with me that was making enough noise to be noticed) i left, and went and bought a Aiko 32" from bigW for $850.

computer alliance may have HAD good service in the past but it seems to have gone to the pile. I know there are a number of their employees on here and they were probably the ones f***ing around and chatting to each other insted of serving paying customers. useless joint now, more expensive for most things and still in the same (ONE STORE ONLY) place with no where near enough service.

Alritey, I just picked one up. And they are actually really good. The picture is perfect and the sound quality is awsome. Absolutely no complaints yet. Fantastic tv

^^^ How's the brightness / contrast etc doode? Just curious, might be a perfect TV for my mum.

umart are a bunch of c***s and should be globally boycotted

just went and got one. (free 90 day trial - at the end of which real lcd prices would have dropped, so may upgrade for free)

i must say im plesantly suprised with the picture. its very watchable on free to air analogue input. and the sound and viewing angle are excellent. (folks have a far more expensive 42" samsung LCD) this lcd hardly losers any contrast or colour from as far as nearly side on. very happy. the front lower part is already coming off, due to poor glueing so this is an excuse to take it back anyway.
