Sharp Deals & Offers

Co-Op Electrical eBay have updated their description with this: For the 5 year guarantee please register your appliance here - http://www.warrantysolutions.co.uk/sharpwarranty/index.php

Well that makes perfect sense! ;)

Door is now fitted and provides enough weight to function. No longer a catapult like death trap slinging plates!

Not yet. Attaching fascia and handle tomorrow and hoping that provides enough weight to avoid the need to tinker. Will let you know!

Did you manage to adjust the door ? I've had a look and could see screws on the sides which would need the front cover to come off to access

Can't fin anything on this TV, was looking for a 40" 4K TV to use with a PC, but don't know what the input lag on this is like. :(

For the price difference between this and a samsung or LG TV of the same size, is there that much of a difference in terms quality/spec?

Is that a bad thing? Same with Vestal? Is it like instead of having a dedicated screen, youre just getting a rebranded propriety screen?

I posted this deal https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sharp-aquos-lc-40ug7242k-40-uhd-4k-smart-tv-in-store-with-5-year-guarantee-179-instore-asda-2951287 as bought one for my son's room for his PS4 and I think it was a real bargain. World cup in 4k looked great.

Sharp European TVs are manufactured by the Slovakian company Universal Media Corp (UMC).

Cancelled, Amazon sucks.

These sort of 'mis-prices' are good data mining experiments for etailers like Amazon. It allows them to gauge prices and, in some cases, to go to manufacturers and say "We have been selling this for £500 and only sold 2 but if we can sell it for £250 we can sell 1,000 - so drop the price to us and we will flog loads!". Some manufacturers go for stuff like that hence the good real deals that we see from time to time. Amazon may have gone to Dell and Dell could have told them to get lost.

At least they didn't keep us hanging too long!

Cancelled, no surprise really.

Makes me laugh that people think one person contacting amazon caused the cancellation. You know there are systems in place that track this stuff right, and that large scale orders of a product trigger people to review prices etc.. You win some you lose some. Pre order deals especially are more miss than hit

I've used this minimalist one in the past and found it quite good - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whicons.iconpack&hl=en_GB

Thanks for that. Can you suggest a good icon pack? Some appear as circles and others as squares. The square ones have white around the edges.

For the Facebook thing make sure the Facebook app is added in Settings > S boost > Auto-Start Management and Background Apps management. This will disable the over-aggressive default battery saving settings from killing it as an inactive background app. That should fix the notifications issue. I don't use snapschat so I can't comment on that. The app may just not be optimised for 17:9 aspect ratio?

Couple more things I've noticed. Facebook only seems to alert me to notifications if I've opened the app first? Also Snapchat fills the whole screen so the buttons at the bottom overlap the buttons on the snapchat app? Anyone else had this issue?

I think this is just a quirk of the ROM that you have to live with. It doesn't actually make any difference to how the numbers work. It's just a display formatting thing

This deal is now live!

The 65" set is also going to be reduced, to £650.

Loofer, I posted a deal a few weeks ago and got nothing but abuse. There are some bored, sad and nasty people on HUKD (as well as some lovely ones). And I though my mum group was judgemental (annoyed)

Thanks @bitcoin5 , I suppose the smart features are not as important as the image quality for me. I would want somthing that can display and reproduce the best quality picture in 4k and upscaled SD and HD. So would I be better going for a 10bit panel then? Is having HDR in the Samsung going to make up for it being 8bit or would the non HDR 10bit sharp still reproduce images better?

Are you able to pay online using a credit card not a debit card?

Would have been ideal but no stock. Darn! Expired.

Often wondered how to do a /hashtag/ followed by a word, without getting a comment about you cannot use them on here ((still do not know why!!)) so /hashtag/thanks (worldcup)

This was posted 3 hours before you posted and the site selling it is closing down so limited stock with no replenishment plans so what do you expect? You snooze you lose. Perhaps post some deals with plenty of stock yourself? Actually, ANY deal would be more than you've posted in almost 5 years on the site. /hashtag/stopmoaningandstartcontributing

All these tesco direct deals are like most of the Argos ones. No stock... We no longer sell this product.

OOS

Now out of stock :(

Kinky. But no thanks.

Seems good but there is an anomaly with the 5 year warranty. If the TV is 32" or above you don't need to retain the packaging for the first 12months but if you are claiming after the first year for the 5 year warranty then you must retain all the packaging which you will have already thrown out ! 12 month warranty T&C states : In the event that we need to collect your item, it is imperative that you package it suitably to be transported on a carrier. The best way to do this is in the original box/packaging. On TV’s 32” and above, we can send out a suitable box free of charge. 5 year warranty states : You must retain your proof of purchase and also the packaging for the duration of the warranty period.

Hotel?

Ordered for the bedroom. A 40" TV with 5 year warranty for £169, this should be much much hotter.

If you come across it again go for it Its actually really gd Great sound great picture

Sound from mine is amazing Delivered yest 2 days early Fantastic

Some good prices there. At first look I was confused. I only saw the Blaupunkt in the title so when I saw "Sharp Smart TV" I assumed that someone was referring to there being a sharp picture.

Haha yes it does

Should I get one of these or one of the 4k ones that Tesco have on sale? Or something else? I'm looking to spend £150-300 but I haven't got a clue when it comes to TVs. I think I'd prefer a good 1080 over a mediocre 4k one. Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated

Looking at the specs of this & the asda one, the difference is an inbuilt sub and support for dolby digital/dts. Oh, and these are made by http://www.umc-poland.com/

are they both 4k?

They are different. In asda is G7240 and in tesco is G7250. But I am sure what different between them and wethere it worth £40 different.

£180 in Asda!

Did you read the comments in that thread

When you get it it will be running the Chinese ROM with no Play Store etc. Very easy to install the official Taiwan ROM though and that has everything including Play Store Youtube etc. There's a very easy method of doing this (I did it and I'm rubbish at stuff like that!) on the huge thread listed above (penultimate page).

Less than 123 quid from Banggood (and choice of all 3 colours) with code S2BGG6, with option to pay 4 quid to insure against customs. I'd post it as a deal but Banggood deals are banned.... I got mine from JoyBuy and with the 30 quid customs came to just under 150 quid all-in (blue only at this price). Still an absolute steal at that price so the Banggood price makes it a complete no-brainer. Absolutely love mine and so nice to have a 5.5 inch screen housed in a body that fits easily into jeans pocket...

Which regional rom does this phone run.

Still about £125ish at Joybuy via THIS DEAL, but there is a good chance you'll get stung for about £30 customs+RM charges with Joybuy as they show the full purchase price on the packaging. Some have been, some haven't. Also, LOTS of helpful info in that thread so worth a read if you're wanting to buy this!

Get LG 55UJ635V from John Lewis with 5 year warranty £479 much better IMO

TV now reduced to 649.99 inc VAT and delivery in latest Costco leaflet.

https://www.which.co.uk/news/2017/06/sharp-takes-hisense-to-court-over-shoddy-tvs/ More here. Sharp tv's are made by Hisense in USA and UMC in Europe

That's because Sharp isn't the company making or selling this TV in the UK. http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/vestel-takes-over-sharps-europe-brand-72225

Very good brightness. But No HDR. Nothing compared to what sharp sells in USA https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sharp-65-class-led-2160p-smart-4k-uhd-tv-with-hdr-roku-tv/5746201.p?skuId=5746201

Zoom the picture.

hi there, can you share the model numbers of the other TVs in the picture? Many thanks

"Staff told methey still got like 10" - who's the hell is methy lol! (highfive) Methy said there is still 10 telly's!! :D

Are you sure about the 5 year warranty? Source would be great if possible.
