Anyone any experience of them as a TV brand. just ordered one of these as I can send back under DRS if not happy, but on the face of it looks a bargain. I know its not full 1080 but its only for kids bedroom http://www.tesco.com/direct/blaupun...eeview/500-5373.prd?skuId=500-5373&pageLevel=
Cheers. Also took the plunge and paid £99 for a PS3. Figure it cant be bad as i don't have a blue ray and have just signed up to netflix. Re PS3 - anyone know if you now have to pay for the ability to play the games online or is it still free for PS3. Seem to recall there is now a PSN plus but dont know whether that is the equivalent of xbox live gold and whether it comes at a cost. Not really an issue unless you need the PSN plus to watch netflix, as i have never played online with the xbox.
I would have gone for a full HD tv not HD ready my self. But just my opinion. I know theres not many HD channels on freeview at the moment but they are coming.
Go to your bedroom you naughty child and suffer! Hmmmmmm. How do we do that now then when they have got all mod cons?
It's still free on the ps3 as far as I'm aware, everything like Netflix and the like cost nothing apart from the separate subscription of course
The actual LCD panels are generally made by the same firm (usually Samsung) so I wouldn't worry pal, even if it is a brand you wouldn't normally associate with a television. Unlike Daewoo who made terrible cars and terrible televisions - what a strange combination of products.
Yes it's free to play the PS3 online. Be wary of data corruption though, I've had 2 playstations crash on me repeatedly over the last few months, first with the new GTA game then with the new Gran Turismo
Break their fingers so they can't use the remote. You win some you lose some lesson taught at the same time. Merry Xmas.
Blaupunkt don't actually make TVs themselves, they make car radios, they have just licenced the name to a Slovakian company called Universal Media Corporation who also make own brand TVs for supermarkets like Technika (Tesco), Tevion (Aldi), Logix etc, or rather they import the TVs from China, assemble them and stick the badges on so in all probability it won't be very good but at least it's not expensive.
£100 for a 32inch TV is very good. Might not be 1080p but no TV is actually broadcast at this level of quality anyway - I thought it would be by now but the only way you get anything in 1080p is either on a Blu-ray disc, something you've downloaded onto a USB stick or with certain programmes on Netflix. TV companies will probably not bother with 1080p now and just wait for 4K to become mainstream which will probably be in the next 5-6 years.
Don't know about Satellite but the BBC have been broadcasting programmes on Freeview HD in 1080p for a few years, The Tracate Middoth which is on BBC2 at the moment is 1080p. Edit: Not just the BBC either, Downton Abbey is also 1080p. The reason 32" TVs aren't always Full HD is because it doesn't really matter with that size TV, you'd have to sit very close to the TV to notice a difference.
Ah, I stand corrected if that's the case. As I understood it it's a bandwidth issue which means the likes of Sky would have to launch several more satellites to suddenly make everything 1080p, probably not such an issue with Freeview.
Yeah which is a load of rubbish really, it's just a 720p signal displayed slightly differently - rather than stretch the pixels, it interlaces them. In my experience it doesn't provide as good a picture as 720p.
Second largest shipbuilder in the world too. Dunno how terrible their ships are. Not terrible, hopefully.
