Sharp Deals & Offers

Thanks for letting me know, I have expired the post :)

It's now £269 in Currys Megadeal Easter extravaganza!

arrived next day delivery. good for the money

Thanks for the reply the unit I have is only 24" wide space is limited last tv was a 48" and it fitted fine but it had a plinth stand which I prefer. After a week without a tv I need to make a decision soon.

I had the same problem, the store I got mine from had it on display, with me taking it back I don't have the exact measurements but the unit that mine went on was 32" wide and it fitted fine :)

All from the Home Inspiration Range - Nice products but not amazing prices (annoyed)

Got one of these, the handles are crap. Best for light use only.

Point well taken :) Amazon ofcourse want to push prime through as many homes as they can - that much is very clear

Not personal mate - it's a good deal IF you're buying something else to take it over £20. You've just followed the convention on HUKD but I have a problem with that convention (and a bit of a downer on Amazon). Hot for those it suits!

That’s fair but in my defense I clearly mentioned all of that so as to not make it misleading -:)

Free delivery starts at £20 so I can't have one of these for £4.46. It's not just your post - I have a problem with a lot of Amazon posts as they ARE misleading (Add on; Prime; etc...).

I buy small electricals from Aldi. Your power tools, blenders etc. Good quality and 3 year no fuss warranty. When it comes to smaller TVs it has to look good which you don’t normally get from Aldi. Big TVs I go with user/journo reviews and they don’t tend to review TVs from Aldi. I do own a Hisense TV for our main TV though, and that falls into the Aldi mould.

I buy most items from them , never a problem . The Germans are much more advanced in technology . And almost all electronic items are made in China. Brand names and brand loyalty have a added cost involved. I rather have more warranty for peace of mind . If something does not work as expected , Aldi / Lidl are happy to return. That is why they are growing so fast . People vote for them with their feet . Only snobs who visit Waitrose and pay double for same items hate them .

Even 1080p looks better on 4k TV due upscaling. 4k comes HDMI 2.0 , upscaling and hdcp 2.2 so more bandwidth for better picture.

And don’t forget to add another £1000 a year for Sky if like me your available broadband is not fast enough to stream 4K. 10 years ago I spent £1500 on a 48” smart 3D HD Samsung after being told that 3D was the future and new channels, apart from Sky, were launching soon. It’s now in the dining room as a second set. Once 4K is widely available and the norm there will be 8K teles in the shops.

As long as Sky charge extra for HD Pack most of us won't even utilise our Full HD TVs to the Max - Me included

Crap software. Sharp smart TV. Bad choice I made.

Yeah, there haven't been many reports of Vestel TVs catching fire because the engineering tolerances were too small.

There were few left when I've been at the store, Some other tv's are reduced also.

Should say where it's assembled on the back then you will tell if its vestel or umc. I have no issues with the TV's just been on the recieving end of breakdowns, that said Samsung are low on my list for their QC.

When I initially set mine up the UMC logo appeared on the screen

My LG lasted three years before it got a green line down it panel failure then a year later it developed a switch off fault which eventually means it's one week on one week off so I have to disagree. My next TV when a hotdeal comes up won't be LG and will be JL or richer sounds just wondering how you affect the warranty do they collect them free of charge as I don't drive. And is it easy to get them to price match a deal on here how do you do that

My sky remote is controlling mine ?

That was in North America, these Sharp's are made by UMC. Still nothing to do with Sharp though, other than the name badge on the front. However it looks like they, or their new owner Foxconn has bought a stake in UMC taking back control. So Sharps may well change soon... for the better? who knows?....they never made particularly great TV's even when they were Sharp through and through.

Have had two of the non-smart versions of these for two years. Mine are freeviewHD only. They were £179 each from Tesco back in Jan 16. Shows what the plummeting £ has done to the price of electronics!! The TVs have a good picture for the money, but beware their remotes are Bluetooth/Wireless rather than infrared so Sky remotes etc won’t control them....

European Sharp's are made by UMC. I got the cheaper version on Black Friday and it needs to go in for repair for a second time due to a bunch of faults (TV Guide crashes TV on exit, network error in apps, reset function doesn't work...). Smaller Toshiba I bought at the same time has been faultless.

Back at £70 online :(

(horror)

agreed, I have this one and really regret buying it. Not even big enough for a bag of microwave popcorn to turn. Also gets very bad with condensation inside.

spend extra £15 and get 25 liters (angel)

Too small

Certainly looks like a UMC design, so expect a poor picture and sluggish/buggy UI. Speaking as a 40" Sharp-branded UMC owner.

Hi, Ive just got this delivered today and im wondering if you know - - Whats the best setting for a normal wash & dry? - Can you do a wash on its own or a dry on its own? Thanks :)

Anyone buy this who knows what the best setting is for a normal wash & dry?

just using it for the first time, i can confim that Sharp is produced by Vettel, will leave some more feedback later, so far got this into daily 60 min wash and 30 min drying, lets see Seems very simple to use, there is a helpful timer, so u know how long till its done, also detects if there is half a load in, dont think u can get anythin better for 349 with that capacity and the 2 years peace of mind too, yes it doesn't look that good next to samsung or lg at the shop... but the price ain't 600 or 700 quid

I 100% agree! any large domestic appliance branded Kenwood is a Currys in house product and are low value so the quality is iffy.

I'd say Kenwood sits below Beko in most cases. Kenwood stuff is mostly made for Currys & rebranded with the Kenwood name. Beko quality has improved over the last few years, but most of these brands only last 2-4 years.

Afraid not @shaytown

Accidentally pressed cold ffs. Is it possible to amend?

How have I only just seen this?! Head added chanchi! (y)

Plenty in store Halifax

Also in store Tesco Thornbury £6.. And they have LOTS of them!

Because you'll upset the TV snobs on HUKD

I bought one on Black Friday and it's been great. I don't get why not to.

I beg you do not buy sharp tvs
