Have you got anything we can verify that statement against?

I was at John Lewis today(ok not the cheapest shop for price comparison) and most of the TV's i was looking at were roughly £1000. They were mostly 32" as well.

So my question is does anyone actually own one of these TV's and are they actually any good? Normally with something like this i wouldn't venture from the 'main brands'.....i've never heard of Hannspree before!

As i only really use my bedroom TV for games.....it doesn't have to be as good as my lounge TV.

Yes I have one of the 37" Hannspree ones. Looks VERY good on normal Telly, if you are playing HD (Xbox 360/PS3) then it works brilliant! Got sky HD hooked up as well simply amazing. The speakers suck but then they usually do nowadays, they are supposed to be used with surround sound systems.

So IMO they are great. No point paying more money for a name IMO.

*NOTE* If you read the reviews on ebuyer then youll see they are well liked.

Was in Currys and PC World at M6 J9 just before Christmas -one of them had a monster lcd telly by the entrance that had a burnt in screen - there was a permanent shadow of a previous demo they'd obviously left on too long. Never ever seen a crt screen with a burnt in screen and very surprised to see an LCD one in this condition on display in a showroom!

Sure it Was a "LCDTV ready for the HD" not a plasma?

it warns you on lcd that it can happen.

Yeah, it wad definately LCD. Would have thought that a telly wouldn't hang around in a showroom long enough for that to happen

I'm tempted to get one of these Hannspree TV's but exactly how poor/bad is the sound? I've not got Sky, surround sound etc - just a freeview box, do I need to consider a surround sound box just to get some decent noise out of this tv? If so what has anyone else used with the Hannspree?

PS Why the Hell are these so much cheaper than anything else?

Thanks

Mike.

I'm getting one in the next few days, so i'll let you know.

Having said that i'll fit some surround sound speakers anyway.
