One more thing. You can operate the tv with a Sky remote. If you don't have 1 you can get 1 on eBay for about £3. I can't remember the code but you should be able to find it on google. Let me know if you need help

Hiya
I had exactly the same problem with my remote about 1 year ago. I contacted M&S and Cello directly. I could not find my original receipt which was a pain so if you have this it will help.
I called M&S 03330148111 or 03330148000 and emailed [email protected]

It took about a month but they sent me a brand new remote and it was the same.

It took a lot of persistence and chasing to get it so good luck.

Best regards

Hello deeinlondon, I'm sorry for your dad tv remote has suffered this issue. Mine works fine as it only has light use. I am exploring other options with this tv and may contact trading standards. However, if I'm binning it, will be more than happy for your dad to have if neither of you would mind this..despite the tv being noisy, poor sound & internet never worked etc I got on well with it and the picture viewing was fine.

How's the remote control for the TV? Does yours still work?

I bought this TV for my father who is now almost 80 and had a stroke and this TV is pretty much how he spend most of his day which is sad - but the power button ont he remote stopped working - so the poor guy has to get up and manually turn the TV on and off - I tried getting Cello to provide a replacement and also contact M&S for a new remote control but they were useless and cos it's such an unheard of brand trying to find a remote control that works on it is a nightmare.

whoops, don't know how I manage to split the reply...

Interesting as mine has started to creak considerably after use. Its also a bedroom TV and therefore its quite annoying as it keeps you up at night. Who did you call btw, M&S or Cello first?

This TV died on me last week was used as a bedroom TV only, so contacted M&S under the 5 years warranty - neither M&S or Cello wanted to know. Now await a cheque in the post in the next 21 days from M&S...lots of arguing to and fro..with both Cello didn't offer to repair & M&S can't replace as no longer sells TV. What to do folks? Cheers. Oh, I'm missing the footy

I reset my O2 Broadband router today, and I still couldn't get the TV to connect via WiFi to the internet - best I could manage was to setup a guest WiFi on my O2 Router and then use WEP instead of WPA / WPA2

Trouble with this setup is that it stops the TV from being able to see the internal network which means I can't stream video across the home network to the TV.

Is anyone having problems connecting to WiFi using the USB Dongle tha came with the TV?

I'm with O2 Home Broadband and O2 sent me a new router and my TV can see the signal which is WPA / WPA2 but I cannot connect to the signal. I have no issues connecting to the router with my Android phone, Laptop, etc. ... only the TV has problems connecting to the WPA / WPA2 WiFI.

If I open the signal so there is no password then I can connect without any problems, but of course I don't want to have an open WiFi signal. The TV and Router are in different rooms so Wired Ethernet is not an option.

Also has there been any software updates for this TV? I think my software is about 1 year old.

And lastly does anyone find any problems when you have USB Stick installed?

I find sometimes when there is USB Stick plugged in the TV won't turn on
I've tried many different brands of USB Stick.

Did anyone get the quidco for this? I raised a query with them stating It clearly said 10% Cashback for deal of the day. And the link took me directly to the TV. But they've just responded that the T&Cs say no Cashback on Electricals. Don't suppose anyone has a screenshot of the Quidco page. Really should have kept one at the time :/

Another two TVs back to M&S for refund.

The creaking cases and badly designed audio out were too irritating despite the bargain price.

Has anyone managed to get Quidco to track?
Mine is still blank?

The screen on mine went black during a Euro 2012 match on Friday. Got sound and the green led but no picture. Phoned them up and M&S customer service agreed to take it back and refund the money. Lesson learned. Liked it while it was working but no more cheapo brands for me.

The sound quality was something I could cope with, the "cabinet noise" that people like to call it, is just too annoying. TV used for a few hours, but made the damn noise all night long.

Easier said than done, I'm still trying, would really like a tv now in my bedroom again, unfortunately realblender seems to have been right on this one.

No its SIX years... as are they all, under EU directive !

Does it come with 5 years warranty?

Can we let this go now ?

I have just thought of an answer to all those that have problems with the TV -

Return it and get your money back maybe?

Am still waiting for a link to a "branded" Full HD TV that comes with 5 yr warranty at this price point.
Let alone the fact that it has a DVD player built in and Internet connectivity.

Anyone noticed the TV Freezing with a Green LED Power Light but black screen when there is a USB Key plugged in?

I'd noticed it when we first got the TV and thought maybe it was coincidence but plugged in a USB Key 2 days ago and problem returned.

I had the same problem with the craking sound but ended up getting a refund.

well mine due for replacement this thursday, m&s stated faulty wifi and replace or refund offered, thought they would have said try another dongle first but hey ho

I'm starting to have the creaking, popping cabinet problem. This is a bedroom tv and it switches itself off if no buttons are pressed for a number of hours, so that's once I'm asleep. The cabinet noise is worst when the TV is turned off and presumably cooling down, and it's loud enough to wake me up. My set also leans forward. The remote is pretty poor, the battery cover is loose and the rubber buttons are quite unresponsive, you sometimes have to press quite hard to get them to work, other times you have to press the "TV" button to get the button to work, like a cheapie "one for all" remote which is probably what it is. I also have the wifi problem which I've spoken to M&S technical about but I haven't been offered a solution yet, the staff on the helpline seem a bit hit & miss. The sound is very poor, and a few days ago it was intermittently sounding like it was underwater for a few seconds. The distortion stopped when I changed channels and then seemed OK but I'm not sure of the cause, and if it happens again I will have to get back on to M&S.

To be honest, I am very reluctant to return the set as the price paid was unbelievably low, but the quality problems are pretty hard for me to ignore. The picture is goodthough!.

Excuse the repeat question but I would really appreciate an informed answer:

Could somebody who has purchased one of these TV's please indicate if the integral DVD player supports mp4 format.
Additionally does the DVD player support 720p files of any format.
Thanks.

Agree wholeheartedly with this. Using our £30 250 Gb PVR via scart just cos it's there and actually the reception seems better. Not an issue for us.

The pic is superb and we have had no issues with the sound. It's only a bedroom TV but don't think it has been over 20 and has been fine.

"I bought it and believe u me that I am over the moon. It is one of the best deals I ever bought. Atleast 8 people have asked me after looking at the crisp picture quality to order on there behalf, if this deal ever go live again.
Please dont judge it be price. I think M&S s buiding there own brand "CELLO" and its pretty close to any premium big brand names.[/quote]
Agree with this too. The people that have seen it on the wall and with all the features and picture don't believe that we paid £199.00 with a 5 year guarantee.

Great buy - we are very happy with ours.

Ever been told you are passive aggressive and have an attitude problem?

I love people like you on the internet, and in reality. All mouth and no trousers.

You definitely come across as another name for a Rooster.

I bought it and believe u me that I am over the moon. It is one of the best deals I ever bought. Atleast 8 people have asked me after looking at the crisp picture quality to order on there behalf, if this deal ever go live again.

Liked tv and now I am loving it :-) DVD got stuck in dvd player and was not ejecting.
Contacted m&s and they exchanged it with a new tv. Paid for DVD to lovefilm.

No cabinet noise here. Agree that the picture is superb. The blacks are fantastic.
Only gripes are what I said before:
- better reception via old PVR (I've not tried again since the weather has improved (it was especially bad when I tried before)) - we have a decent PVR anyway - so no problem continuing with this.
- sound could be better. Our sound comes through separate sound sytem, which will be better and have more bass than most LCD TV's anyway.

Have been using iPlayer alot (The Bridge was great!).

No you didn't. You said a "big brand" was the same price, Full HD and 5 year warranty - but you can provide no evidence of this.

You sir, are a certified sad case.

This aggressive response is just even more evidence to think that you have a "small man" complex. You come across terribly badly. You don't like the TV - you sent it back - witter on about big brands for the same price then can't provide any evidence.

We don't need to say any more. You are doing a spot on job about coming across as an angry, ignorant, sad case.

Please keep it up - cos you are giving us plenty of laughs!

Or perhaps stop whining and go and watch your "big brand" TV that is Full HD and with a 5 year guarantee - otherwise - just do one you tool.

Please READ my post.... I never said it would have all the extras !

I gave in on the cabinet noise and sent it back...I can live without the (limited) internet stuff, and branded TVs are around this price anyway - so why suffer I say !

Quote from the Oregan website "With full ownership of the intellectual property rights of its Oregan™ Media Browser software, Oregan is able to respond rapidly to the requirements of its customers and to be a strong innovator in the digital entertainment sector."

It is difficult to see how they can make that claim when the last software update was March 2011.

I'm having loadsa cabinet noise as well from this TV...& getting a bit concerned?

Hehe. Yup!

I sent my set back last week, the creak sound was too annoying.

Likewise mine creaks too. Is it something I need to be worried about or not? The set has been fine since I have had it, but it does creak for 5 mins after its switched off.

Yes, I have a couple of sets and they both creak. One is worse than the other.

Our picture is fine (SD looks swell, actually), sound's a bit tinny but live-able for occasional use. Not tried the internet connectivity etc yet as thinking of returning. Our TV leans forward at very noticable angle, like it can't support it's own weight. Not sure if any one else has encountered this. Shame.

Very interesting. M&S technical support told me that someone would call me back with a possible solution by Thursday - I wasn't offered a replacement. I think I'll get back on to them.

Only the IPTV says "NO SIGNAL", everything else is OK apart from the tinny sound.

I had same issue. Called Cello who said it was the dongle. Tried new dongle, still no good. Called M&S who said they have had a problem with the software updates and that I'd need to return it for refund. Explained I didn't want a refund so they passed me through to someone else who arrange for a new TV to be sent on Monday.

Are you talking about the IPTV? Ours only comes up with no signal message when there is no signal from any of the sources.

Via Onyx it only says no connection via wireless - but that is on the splash screen in the top right hand corner.

wireless now packed up on mine completely, still works fine wired, wireless would not work when delivered, then worked extremely slowly, then seemed ok, but not kaput, thinking dodgey dongle, will get on to M&S and or Cello

af

Looks like the first comment has been posted on the Onyx Facebook page, I'm sure if more people that bought this TV also post then they'll be more inclined to start improving their software and add new features.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Oregan-Networks/149279896540

These look good if anyone's having problems with the wifi dongle...
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hercules-passthrough-poweline-homeplug-200mbps-kit-2-adapter-pack-29-99-inc-delivery-1220623

Anyway seems like there's a lot of us that bought this TV and are fairly pleased with what we go for £199 .. Apart from the speakers I'm pretty pleased with this TV. But how's about we all do our bit to ensure the software side of things gets improved by posting on the Facebook pages of the company that wrote the software that makes the internet part of the TV Work?

I've found the company's website and also the link to their Facebook page. By the looks of it they've not made any improvements to their software on the TV since March 2011. There's so much improvement they could make to this TV with a few tweaks of the software. So many more Internet TV Channels they could link us upto and maybe even give us a web browser so we can freely view whatever it is we want to look up online.

Well, I surrender !!!!!!!!

The sound of the cabinet was driving me nuts.... and the audio sounded awful - then last night it got worse ! LOUD buzzing through the speakers - so its back in the box awaiting collection.... I adopting the adage "buy cheap, buy twice" from now on !

Is anyone getting an Authentication Failed error on the twitter app through Onyx? It shows my username fine but asks me to connect the widget to my twitter account (which I have already tried several times).

Thanks :smiley:

Good idea ^ It's important we help cello also as a simple design change would've made everyone happier..

Is there a way to update the software/firmware whatever on this?

I just tried two different USB Keysin the side USB Slots and neither seemed to do anything, TV just says no drive.

But plugged into the bottom USB Slot they work just fine.

Any ideas why this might be the case and do USB Keys work for other people in the slide slots?

BTW my USB Wireless Dongle worked just fine in the outer side slot

My review.

MASSIVE SPEC SMART TV FOR £3.33 A MONTH or 83p a WEEK - get a grip - PLEASE!

IMO the picture is excellent. Very sharp and blacks are great. We have no issues with the sound at all, but ours is only used as a bedroom TV. Rarely have it above 10 as we live in flats and consider our neighbours but have had no issues.

The TV doesn't have an ON function - then again what TV does and what is the point if you have a mobile or alarm clock? LOL

Ours has 3 USB - 2 on side 1 rear. 2 HDMI 1 side 1 rear. 1 Scart - rear. Ethernet and aerial - side.

Haven't had much luck with the included wireless adaptor - (which was an unexpected extra) but works faultlessley with a wired ethernet cable. Not that bothered because we have a PS3 which upscales and doesn't take an age to upload, unlike Onyx.

Have heard no creaks or groans from the TV. Has been set up on the stand and is now wall mounted.

Find the EPG very poor and clunky and signal strength intermittent. Strangely on the built in DTV we get ITV no probs yet on our connected cheapie - £30 250GB PVR we can't get it. However the PVR, via Scart has an infinitely better picture. Don't understand.

The Bridge looks absolutely stunning via scart and PVR and even Family Guy is resized automatically. I don't get it!

With the wireless dongle inserted - side USB ports only - it is awkward to insert another USB stick. Strangely these side ports seem to play various file formats but the rear doesn't? Not sure why.

DVD player is good and plays lots of formats. Also has memory, which is unexpected. We aren't really using as PS3 upscales but a nice bonus. Ultimately a bit too slow for us.

Verdict - A 32" Full HD Smart TV with DVD player, USB PVR with 5 year guarantee for £200 is an absolute bargain. I am certain there won't be a better offer this year.

We were after a 32" Full HD with decent spec for around that price. All the extras and the 5 year warranty make us very glad we bought.

HTH

My sister just bought a new 22 inch Samsung LED TV and I have to say the speakers in that sound so much better then the Cello TV, yet I can't see where they've been placed.

In both TV's there appears to be cut out Grills that face downwards on the downward edge of the TV.

Having said that my Previous 32 inch LCD TV which was only Analogue (no freeview built in) had front facing speakers along the bottom of the TV and sounded so much better and more natural then either TV and looked just fine.

I also have a pair of 22 inch LG Flatron TV's in my bedroom which I mainly use as computer monitors but the sound form those is just plain Horrid. In the end I bought a Samsung Speaker System for them and the sound is now so much better.

Indeed. Although altering treble/bass will help, I now have it 50-50 you can really notice the echo every so often - it's not the most scientific method, but if you listen to the sound from behind the TV, then it doesn't seem to have the echo.

They're a new-ish company so as long as they get constructive criticism then things can only get better.

We live in an age that demands good aesthetics from products so a speaker grill on the front is hardly eye candy for most..

Cheap speaker suggestions, anyone? I did see a post on here shortly after this one became popular but can't remember what they were.. 2.0/2.1 speakers ideally

I guess it's not ideal, but I've put bass to max, and treble to bottom and sound has changed a lot, sounds better to me. The issue is the design really, sounds like they're echoing.. it feels like I'm listening to a neighbours TV

Has anyone else had problems with the side usb ports? Mine worked fine with the dongle - internet connected easily enough. When I used the rear usb port for a flash drive the two side ports immediately stopped working! Really don't want to have to return it but only bought it for its IViewer :disappointed:

Could somebody who has purchased one of these TV's please indicate if the integral DVD player supports mp4 format.
Additionally does the DVD player support 720p files of any format.
Thanks.

cabled to ethernet, worked perfect, went back to dongle and all good, works just as well, will see how it goes, may have been something simple, dongle not seated properly? anyway really pleased with iy and thanks to op

cheers

a

wifi appears dodgey on mine, initially connected, took hour to download updates, then intermittant connection but if connected unable to stream iplayer etc, play for a second or two and then buffer for approx 3-4 mins then play for a second or two, now it will not connect at all, will try cable connect later to isolate whether just wfi is iffy then query with cello

a

I plugged the wifi dongle in and nothing happened. Will ring m&s later. Tv is great otherwise.
I probably won't even use the wifi or I player but that's not the point!

Thanks deeinlondon. Much more helpful than the useless Technical Support. I thought I had tried both surround settings but you are correct - with surround set to off the headphone socket does support all sources. I will next test the SCART output and confirm whether or not it works for all sources when surround is set to off.

Errr, me !!!!!

So, how do you return these things ?

I have the same creaks and cracks sound from the tv also. Has anyone else have this apart from me and "kenbarlow"?

I have the exact same issue as fil. Can't get passed the damn update screen. Remote won't select ok! Agh!

Not true... it outputs from all sources ! (Headphone socket)

Spoke to Cello customer services they said Netflix should be available soon! Although they couldn't give an exact date. Happy with my bargain purchase...thanks OP :-)

So I've got the TV talking over WiFi to my ZyXEL N310 NAS Net work Storage Device - theNAs has something called Broadcatching - which allows it to download RSS Video Podcast Links (also called Vodcasts)

So does anyone know any websites or links to decent TV Program?

I want to set it up to download thing my Dad would be interested in watching like Nature Programmes, Wrestling, Documentaries, etc

I've found some websites like Discovery Channel's but they're often full of1 or 2 minute clips, which is a waste of time - I'm looking for proper 30 to 60 minute programmes.

You sure you not got surround sound or 3D sound or whatever it is called selected on the TV?

I found with it on the sound came out of the internal speakers but with it off it came out of the speakers I plugged into th eheadphone socket.

That seems very weird. I'll check if it's the same on mine tonight. If so I'm going to be getting the soldering iron out I think!

"Should" is the correct word. Like the SCART, the headphone socket only works for audio from the aerial - not the other sources

Yes, I am now using the headphones port as a workaround but I don't think the sound is as good as when using the SCART.

Mine arrived and am happy with it. However it won't connect to the internet wirelessly which is pretty annoying. Entered encryption key etc and nothing. Switched it off and then went back into Onyx and it asked me if I wanted to update it which I did and assumed it was then connected as it added the Lovefilm widget and updated weather.

Tried to watch iPlayer to test it and it said it wasn't connected again!!!

Also the rear USB recognises my memory stick but when I got to play files says file not supported but they play fine in the side USB?

Anyone got any idea why the Wi Fi isn't working? Cheers

There are dedicated audio out sockets on the side of the TV... use these and you will (should!) get audio from any source.

Thanks for the suggestion. I dont recall seing any mention of DNLA in the router's instruction manual but i'll have a look tonight. Thanks for replying.

Is there not a headphones port you can use?

Yes these are my findings so far too. The only solution I have found so far is to use a decent transcoding DLNA server e.g. Serviio and transcode those with DTS sound. Unfortunately it seems that simply transcoding the audio and keeping the video doesn't work, you need to transcode the whole file which requires something rather beefy running Serviio; my quad-core pc can do it, but my mac mini media server simply isn't up to the task.

If anyone's interested I can provide a transcoding profile for Serviio, and I'll update with any more progress I make.

EXTERNAL SOUND ISSUE

I ordered two TVs - one to replace the main TV and one for use as a monitor. I was aware that the internal sound would be rubbish but I took comfort from the fact that it would be connected to my own amplifier and speakers. I have now tested the TV and I was shocked to discover that the audio sent from the SCART to my amp only works if you are watching DTV! If you are watching any other source via HDMI or Onyx e.g. iPlayer or DLNA the audio does NOT go out through the SCART and can only be listened to on the useless internal speakers.

I checked with Support (01388 812123 for those that do not want to use 0871) and they confirmed that it is not a fault - it is designed to work that way! Clearly it is badly designed as it is unreasonable to expect it to work that way. Has anyone got any comments or suggested workarounds before I return at least one of the TVs to M&S?

Great tv for the money. Easy to set up with clear, well though out instructions. Loads of features, still discovering new stuff every day. e.g. When accessing sky+ the Cello remote automatically turns into a sky remote. Picture quality is better than i was expecting but I've had to raise a claim with quidco for the £20 cahback and am waiting for their response. Still be happy at £199 though.

One question, l have a netgear router with a 1GB buffalo usb drive attached to it that streams fine to my other networked devices. Using the Cello network viewer I can see my two networked computers but it does not see the netgear usb drive. Any suggestions or pointers to a knowledge resource would be appreciated.

Any one else unable to find Netflix app?

Mine is all set up now, and despite the product description it DOES have DNLA support... sweet!

Tested an mpeg and that worked fine. Now I just have to find a DNLA server that can transcode my mkv's on demand into something that the TV can play, then I can watch any of my movies that are on my media server. Anyone have any ideas?

The sound is indeed pretty rancid, and the cabinet creaks and pops like a good un, but I think given what's in the box, for the money it's still a grade A bargain!

I got the same email about it not being about to be delivered until the 21st, but called them and they apologised for the email and said I would still get it yesterday as planned.

I haven't managed to open it yet though :disappointed: I've got to wait till we've got the wall mount etc up.

Also, he didn't ask whether I wanted it installing, it was pretty obvious I didn't need it installing but being asked would have been nice.

Anyone know how to change the keyboard to a qwert display?

Just wanted to say also, I have now set the TV / laptop up so the tv is able to stream all my movies and tv eps that are stored on my laptop, to the TV. Really is the best £200 i have ever spent on a TV.

I got an email as well saying 21st even though my TV came yesterday

Hollymia - Thanks for the confirmation paul. Sorry can't help you as haven't got the TV yet but am guessing the Sky isn't playing through your cinema system because it is connected via Scart to the TV - is that right?

Yes it is Hollymia, old Skybox can only connect via Scart, but this set up works on my Sony Bravia, with lovely home cinema surround sound, yet no joy with all the connections - HDMI, RCA, or SCART between the Philips and the Cello.

Hollymia - "However I know how to set things up and understand the limitations."

I cannot get my Cello to accept the sound from my Philips DVD Home Ent System. It is connected via HDMI, the DVD plays in stereo surround sound nicely - but I can't get the TV / SKY input via SCART to play. In the settings menu on the TV there are no options to change the sound input either.

Any ideas?

By the way, your question -

Full HD 32" TV with 24P, 3 HDMI, 3 USB, 1 SCART Component, RCA Audio out, Freeview, DVD player, PVR recording capability. Both DVD and USB play multiple file formats, Internet capability.

In the box you get both an ethernet cable and wireless dongle. You also have a 5 year warranty.

Yes, that's about right, mate.

That is correct Hollymia.

I (and I think a few others) were not really moaning or saying it is a bad buy. Far from it; I think it's EXCELLENT! However, the points raised were mentioned to see if anyone had suggestions.

For me, with regard to the poor reception, I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this (no one seems to) or whether I have a duff one. It is not crystal clear that it would be to do with my aerial or the reception in my area because:
1) I have just had a new aerial fitted recently
2) I get fantastic signal from other units in the same house
3) I get fantastic signal from my PVR with the new TV from the same RF cable in the lounge (which I don't get when tuning the TV).

Hollymia - "However I know how to set things up and understand the limitations."

I cannot get my Cello to accept the sound from my Philips DVD Home Ent System. It is connected via HDMI, the DVD plays in stereo surround sound nicely - but I can't get the TV / SKY input via SCART to play. In the settings menu on the TV there are no options to change the sound input either.

Any ideas?

Can someone just confirm what you get for £200 please?

From the description and people's comments I have gleaned that you get ;

Full HD 32" TV with 24P, 3 HDMI, 3 USB, 1 SCART Component, RCA Audio out, Freeview, DVD player, PVR recording capability. Both DVD and USB play multiple file formats, Internet capability.

In the box you get both an ethernet cable and wireless dongle. You also have a 5 year warranty.

Can someone please confirm that all the above is correct?

Seems to me like a HUUUGGE spec for £200.

I can't make a judgement yet, as mine hasn't arrived! But I am a bit dumbfounded by some of the comments on here. As far as I can tell from comments the TV has way more features than advertised i.e 3 USB instead of one and the inclusion of a Wireless dongle.

If you are using it wirelessly then there is every chance of buffering. Cabinet noise is very common with new TVs and the recommendation is that you allow them to "bed in" for 20+ hours. Not picking up channels is either to do with the aerial connection you have or the transmitters strength.

We had our communal aerial upgraded but still do not get any HD channels even though we have an HD tuner on our TV and ITV1 appears when it feels like it.

The sound is crap. The TV is very slim so I assume everyone knew that the sound wasn't gonna be great?

If you still have problems with it then apparently Cello have very good CS and if the worst comes to the worst then you have a 5 year warranty with M&S. Although for £200 or even double that, including a 5 year warranty and wireless internet I think you would find it extremely hard to find such a well specced TV.

I may eat my words when mine arrives! However I know how to set things up and understand the limitations.

the arrow, keys work fine in the other menus, just would do anything when im on that screen, just locks up

unpluged tv, router and modem, re powered up all still the same,

just cant get it past that menu to update the settings

how did you get beyond this screen?

Oh well following on from unable to get it to conect to the internet, and speaking to M&S who spoke to cello, its faulty, and needs to be returned, for an exchange or refund, but they are nil stock


dam it!

No Netflix app yet.

Mine did come with batteries for remote.

Anyone for problems with reception compared to their previous/other receivers?

Does it have a Netflix channel/widget/app?

Spoke too soon YouTube stopped working on me altogether whist everything else is working, although the Discovery Channel Clips do stop and Buffer quite a bit.

use the across arrow to ok and press ok on remote

Does anyone have problems watching the Vegetarian Recipes thing?

It doesn't work on mine, all the other IPTV things seem to work though.

Also anyone had any Freezes yet?

I've now had 3 freezes, one time on the USB Browser and twice when exiting Onyx and going back to the TV Screen, in both cases the only thing that worked was turning off the TV from the mains for a few minutes.

Is Onyx even popular? I just noticed when you type Onyx into Facebook it says it only has 300 monthly users, that would also explain why they've not bothered doing any updates since March 2011

>Do we need to update internet software or any other tips?

This updated automatically for me...

I'm concerned about the lousy sound - which seems to be getting worse ! As well as the cabinet noises when turned off, these last over a hour and sound like mice gnawing at bubble wrap !
How did you guys return your faulty ones please ?

Try ringing Cello. According to users on here they do actually have a phone no that they do answer unlike many other manufacturers - Sony and Samsung![/quote]
just thought i cant be the only one with this issue?

and alltho it says free , its an 0871 no, only got a mobile here, so could be £s ( tho of to say no to 0870 )

well had it 40 mins, and its winding me up!

found all the digi channels ok, but the iptv bits not playing the game.


tried the wifi dongle, says no internet conection, ( expected as net to set it up ) pressing the green ip button, does nothing?

So now trying the ethernet cable, says conected then jumps to an update menu, with a red X and OK button, but cant select either, remote wont do anything, pushing OK on it ect

Remote is working, as on the update menu can see the volume going up and down if i press that?

I got mine delivered yesterday. Set the tv up myself, just a few screws to attach the stand to the tv. Once the tv is plugged and aerial is attached, it finds the freeview channels easily and also the analogue channels found the settings to show the links with the sky box in another room easily.

So far the picture quality is very good, the sound is ok and better than an older Cello badged tv I have seen. Its a second tv for the bedroom. I need to get the wifi dongle to talk to my wireless network. The remote was supplied without batteries.

I got an email this morning that there would be a delay in getting the tv delivered. I checked out the tv box and they listed an address for another person in the same town. It looks like the courier gave me someone else's tv!!

Apparently the email was a mistake and allegedly mine is still coming tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Mine just came too, despite the email earlier.

well it just turned up, so all good

Just reading the comments checked my emails and lo and behold I got an email at 2.08 am too saying it won't be delivered until the 21st!

I too phoned them yesterday and was told it would be delivered tomorrow. Haven't had any phone call and the fact that it clearly said delivered by the 9th not ESTIMATED delivery by on the order form is not that good really.

Yep me too, email then phone call! Seems the a*se doesn't know what the elbows doing. Don't care though as long as it comes today!

Had mine delivered yesterday, and got the email also.
Fingers crossed for 21 May.
2 for £200 would be an even better bargain!!!!

thanks for posting this great deal , i just want to buy new one , i think this is my price .

???? and now ive just had a phone call, will be delivering between 11 am and 1pm today??

As above, had it aranged to be delivered today ( 10th may ) just seen they sent me an email at 1am.



great!

I'm not sure M&S really know what they are doing! Spoke to them on the phone yesterday twice and got a delivery date of Friday, and now had an email sayng the delivery is delayed until the 21st..... confused.com!

Got my TV today, picture is really good, much better then I expected - the Blacks are really much blacker then my previous 32inch LCD TV. Sound is worse though as my old LCD TV had proper front facing speakers and of a decent size.

Glad to see the remote control also controls my Sky+ Box and the IPTV side of things is OK, I found 50% of the stuff that comes up on the default YouTube links aren't in English - wish there was a way to set video preferences to English.

Be good to have RSS Video Feeds and for YouTube to keep a list of recent searches.

TV did crash on my once in IPTV Mode, in the end after 10 minutes of a black screen had to turn it off from the mains to reset it.

Is there a now and next kind of thing on the TV Guide? only seems to show the current programmes on each channel.

Got mine set up and using it now. Everything is great and very impressed for the money. Sound is absolutly fine, but I have fiddled with the settings. For under £200, its a total steal. Also have my FB / Twitter set up through it and currently watching Iplayer.

Bargain :smiley:

Mine was delivered & installed for me yesterday & I have to say I'm quite pleased with it for the money - so a big thanks to the OP. As most people have said the sound isn't brilliant on its own but not the worse I've heard. I was quite impressed with wifi dongle being included and how easily it connected and automatically did the online update - so overall it's a thumbs-up from me : )
Could I just ask please - has anybody else that went through the Quidco 'deal of the day' link had it confirmed or declined yet? Mine is currently showing as £19.90 claim raised - so will have to wait 'n' see if M&S wiggle out of it on the grounds that cashback isn't paid on electrical goods - H'mm they should've thought about that before putting electrical goods as the deal of the day @ 10% cashback rate ; )

Just got the TV, can confirm you get the USB Wi-Fi dongle, the sound isn't good but is OK for a bed room TV, the DVD player is region free but the up scaling isn't the best I've seen but far from the worst. Overall I think it's worth the money spent.

The guy did offer to install it but I declined also he didn't insist on opening it, there is an M&S seal that states that it can't be return if opened, so just open from the bottom and don't break the M&S seal, but even if you do you're covered by law that they must take it back within seven days, also when you sign add a note stating 'Signed for, not inspected' and you'll be good.

Hope you find this useful.

Had mine since friday and impressed with it for the price.

I am going to fill out the warranty form but where do i send it? i can't seem to see an address.

Thanks

I got mine delivered today by delivery man. I can confirm it came with Wifi dongle, LAN cable. Came to work so was unable to play much with it. Sound is poor quality but I am using my multimedia system for that. Not bad for that price.

Do we need to update internet software or any other tips?

Yes I phoned them yesterday after getting concerned about not hearing anything and they called the delivery ppl while I was on the phone and booked me in for tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

So anyone who hasn't had a call yet to arrange delivery, I'd call them and get them to book you in otherwise you're going to be last in the queue!

Cracking deal, just a shame that the way M&S deal with deliveries means they can't track anything and that the website says delivery by today. After contacting CS to confirm delivery as it still says due for dispatch, be told that the delivery company should have contacted me with 24/48hrs of the order to arrange delivery.

So, sat around waiting for the delivery company to contact me to arrange a delivery date. M&S need to make this information clear on their website and not simply leave the delivery details stating it will be delivered by a specified date and nothing more...

Does anyone know the SKY remote code for this TV? I know you can use the Cello remote to operate the SKY but it is not so user friendly.

FYI, received mine yesterday. No installation service offered. I think the guy wanted to go home and get his dinner as he turned up 4 hours late!

So what's the deal with the delivery man? Are they supposed to do a free installation as well?

I don't mind setting up the actual TV myself but wouldn't mind a hand just getting the thing setup on the stand and then doing the rest myself. But if they're not going to do much of a setup I'd just rather they left it in the box and let me get on with it.

[quote=andynutter]I can confirm 3 USB sockets. 1 toward the bottom and 2 on the side (left) near the top, one of which is labelled WiFi as opposed to USB.

Silly question but would it be ok to get rid of the box? What if something needs fixing under warranty? Will I need to keep the box?
[/q
i think its always a good idea to keep boxes i shove mine in attic as sometimess they can insist whats to be returned in original packaging just shove it in attic

Had to shoot off to work, after delivery, so I too cannot find code for this TV with my V-HD box. Also had a scart set up on my old TV and the del-man didn't even change over for the HDMI so I've done this & adjusted volume as suggested by another poster earlier. Still to get it wall mounted, w8 delivery of bracket etc.
Very happy with this purchase, cheers again OP...glad I didn't miss out

anyone no of any decent speakers for this
i used my computer speakers
logitech ls21 and sound was very good,just like to no if any better around at a decent price

Anyone else having issues with cabinet noise ? Ours kept up awake for a hour or more last night due to all the creaking and popping :-(

Also, looks like quidco have wriggled out of payment too :-(
This was sent to me:
"... the offer stated for all sales 10% (please see t&c's)
and the exception of appliances was listed in the T&C's
I am sorry you feel this wasn't clear and I will send on your feedback to the sales team"

I can confirm that I got the WiFi dongle.

HD: not sure if the receiver gives out a HD signal but the resolution of the screen is HD - so output from a HD source will be displayed in HD

Anyone else had their delivery today cancelled? I got a phone call at around 9:20am today to say the delivery man is sick and will come tomorrow

May be a daft question but does this come with Freeview of Freeview HD?

Could still connect the PVR, but it sort of feels a shame to do that when the TV comes with Freeview/ability to record.
Could say you might as well have got a TV without freeview/record. It means that you can't use the record-to-USB feature for some channels and an extra remote floating round the living room.

Sound through my hifi via headphone jack is fantastic and would imagine it is even better through the phono outputs to a surround sound system!

The biggest advantage compared to my old CRT I've found is the much improved image quality via HDMI from the XBox.

Theres standard phono audio outputs, so you can plug in a HIFI or 5.1 surround system....

Dee - thanks for the suggestion: it was a stuck pixel and is now fixed.

Happy with the TV so far. Really do need to put sound through stereo if watching a film.

The reception for digital TV is not great: using the same aerial, I can get all the digital channels using my old Bush TVR with good signal. With the TV only, I am not getting all the channels and some of them become very pixelated with poor signal.

Anyone else found this?

Mine arrived a couple of hours ago, looks like I got a dud :disappointed:

Only 3 of the 4 stand screws present
Blue stuck pixel in the centre of the screen about an inch from the top
Wifi dongle doesn't seem to work (followed instructions, pressing onyx button, then IPsetup, but just gives me a bleep every time I press the IP setup button,then eventually goes to no signal)
Has Cello branding, which doesn't appear on their picture or the box picture.
They haven't got any equivelants instock, so waiting for more stock or they said I can call if there is another tv with same features and they'll see if they can do it instead. Not ideal, but I can understand these things happen.

Got mine today, came in white van, delivery man did not try to open for the serial number,just took the signature, I must admit an absolute bargain, thanks a lot op.

This has only got one scart and seeing it is so highly specced on everything else I'd have thought that the single scart is enabled. Even if not it has component.

Most TV's I've had in the past with multiple scart sockets only had 1 scart socket RGB enabled.

Anyone know if this is RGB scart enabled? Would love to be able to play my USA snes and N64 modded consoles on this.

Could anyone who has already received their TV please let me know how high the low screws for the VESA mount are from the bottom of the TV so I can get the mount fitted in advance of delivery?

The screw holes are 210mm from bottom of tv.

Must say am very pleased with this tv wireless dongle supplied and connected to internet with no problem at all, bargain.
Many thanks OP.

Could anyone who has already received their TV please let me know how high the low screws for the VESA mount are from the bottom of the TV so I can get the mount fitted in advance of delivery?

Thanks very much to anyone who can,

Cheers

Aha many thanks. Damn that's a bit cheeky hiding it away like that!

NP. Also where possible purchase using a credit card, as the threat of a charge back usually persuades even the most obstinate retailer. Your rights under the consumer credit act are very strong and merchant account providers don't look favourably on retailers who have a high chargeback ratio.

Thanks for clarification. Noted for all my other future off-premises purchases.

You have the right to open and inspect the item under DSR. In fact the point of DSR is to allow consumers to inspect an item as they would if they purchased in store.

mine came today. Same thing white van man ripped open the box for the serial. Ignored the sticker saying "if seal broken you cannot return"

cant see where to download apps. Delivery was ok and setup easy.

Anyone have the code to use with my Sky remote/hd+ box?

Thanks

I wonder who'll be the first in the group to post a video of the TV in action on YouTube?

Cant find a remote code to work with Virgin Media HD :-(

" The iViewer is also able to access NetFlix and and an array of other online channels " says it on spec but i cant get netflix

The link at M&S still shows "free delivery and set up" for tvs over 26".
Mine is due on Tuesday, definitely going to get it installed when it comes. I wont sign for delivery if delivery man doesn't come in to install telly. Glad I checked back on here to see what's happening with everyone else, I know what to expect on Tuesday now :wink:

Managed to set up my wi-fi with the supplied dongle and got the iPlayer and other web content working in less than 5 minutes. Excellent specs..very good picture quality.
Thanks again for the OP!

[quote=andynutter1
Only downside is a dropped pixel. Will be ringing the warranty line tomorrow.[/quote]
Is the pixel stuck or dead? if Stuck have you tried software for unsticking a stuck pixel?

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/best-software-solutions-to-fix-a-stuck-pixel-on-your-lcd-monitor/

Love film is on there already. No Netflix though.
Very happy with picture and sound is acceptable. Got sound going through hi fi for TV currently and appears to be way forward for music and movies.

The internet side of things isn't a real draw as already got Xbox connected that does the same and more.

Only downside is a dropped pixel. Will be ringing the warranty line tomorrow.

according to instructions other services will be added soon. Would be interested to hear of other peoples audio and picture settings.

Anyone got a decent slim wall mount for it yet?

If so link please.

Just set mine up and am pleased so far. Came with a wi fi dongle. The donglw itself is white and was packed in a little black box inserted in the large clear plastic bag containing the instruction manual etc.

got the dongle! Was in bottom of box. Any idea how to access netflix?

40mm with the DVD and other gubbins (plus stand of course - but this is totally removable)

anyone else also get the wifi dongle?

Im counting 3 USB sockets !!!!!

Just added a CAT5 cable and it hooked up first time... did an update of Onyx.

DVD player does copies too... this just gets better and better.

hi, assume it has 2 usb inputs? given that wifi enabled?

cheers

af

no sign of wifi dongle/ready

After a little play, TV is hooked up to a VM HD box via HDMI... not bothered with antenna connection !
Picture is superb... a little oversharpened when compared to our Sony TV, but its a third of the price.

Sound is awful, but turn up BASS to full and TREBLE to 30 and its liveable... its only a bedroom TV anyhow, so volume will be low.

Surprise surprise, there was a WIFI dongle in the box... and it does find networks, but wont connect ! (maybe my security... ill try again later.) Although this is novelty value only as there will be a CAT5 cable in there soon.

The TV also supports DNLA... for streaming your movies from a PC or server.... not tested.

All in all well worth the money Id say... MANY thanks to OP.

But worth noting I received cashback via TCB on an M&S TV purchase towards latter part of last year.

Just had mine delivered, seems ok (sound not brillant as stated but otherwise happy with it) - I did not get an install as the bracket/bits etc I ordered for set up hasn't arrived yet. I sent M&S an email yesterday as my deilvery was due on the 9th and as no one would be home, asked for it to be delivered on the 10th.
I rec'd a call within 30 mins (that was coincidental, as they didn't know of the email) saying they could deliver today so I accepted.
I got another call this morning abt 8:40 replying to email, so inform them of due delivery 2day.

I can't see that anywhere on the page : http://www.topcashback.co.uk/marks_and_spencer/

Am I missing something?

Jusy had mine delivered!

Phase one complete... white van man just delivered, no hint of installation - he virtually ran down the path... ripped open the box "coz he needs the serial number mate" and ran off again !

OMG. I ordered on impulse on Wednesday, received an email saying delivery approx Wed 8th May. Received a phone call first this morning stating delivery is at 11am today! Not even had a chance to position the purchase with 'she who must be obeyed' who also happens to be the chairman of the household expenditure sub-committee. Boy, i am going to be in the doghouse. Damn you to hell HUKD!

anyone got a link to some cheap usb memory sticks please?

Mine is being delivered any time now. Looking forward to having a play with this tonight.

Just got my phone call too for Saturday delivery.

Thanks OP!

mines being delivered saturday

M&S phoned this afternoon... to tell me it will be delivered tomorrow !

Its xmas eve ! LOL

Ordered yesterday with a delivery date of the 9th quoted on the confirmation. Just phone M&S CS who spoke to the carriers and brought it forward to the 8th (so there would be someone in). Very helpful people.:smiley:

Just a word of warning to anyone getting this TV and planning on wall mounting or using the USB regularly - according to the manual here Manual page 13 connections then the USB is on the back which may not be that easy to access.

I have just bought a USB extender from Amazon here Belkin USB extension £2.24 delivered

I know you can get them cheaper but I have had one of those cheap ones from Ebay and it was terrible. Decided to splash out and get a branded name instead!

From what I can gather it has been designed with wall mounting in mind and looks like the HDMI cables come down so no need for a right angled one. HTH

I didn't even read the spec, just presumed it was the same.. Damn. Guuted as was ordering yesterday but got called into a meeting. When I tried to order last night, it was sold out.. Bloody work. Thanks for the update.

With reference to the wi-fi dongle for the TV - I've checked with Cello customer support ( who I'm pleased to say were very helpful & speedy with their reply) and a compatible wifi dongle is available for £24.99 from them by calling 0845 671 0665. Hope that helps anybody who like me wants to get it wifi connected as soon as poss :smiley:

Tried to order thios last night & it showed as sold out. Just gone on M&S website, it back in stock & still at £199. Ordered..

My Quidco also just tracked - got an email through BUT it doesn't have any amount attached to it - says I'll get updated later on the amount

BTW Can anyone recommend a cheap Gigabit Ethernet Switch, ideally an 8 port switch but even a 5 port will do.

Now with this TV on it's way I really need more Ethernet ports on my home network. I already have a NAS but everything at home is connected via the 4 port Switch that's built into my O2 Broadband Router. So I need more ports and also want something faster as what I have built into the O2 is only 10/100 Ethernet Ports.

Just noticed somebody was quick to try to make a profit as somebody is selling 2 of these on Ebay already :neutral_face:

Just got email from quidco about my order tracking. but it has tracked at 0.00 May be this does not qualify.

>:o( I tried and tried to order this yesterday dinner but the web site kept saying there was a problem........... Not happy

cheers OP, hoping my Quidco tracks but no sign yet.

Weren't Viking selling some 32 inch Cello TV's a while back for £99?
They are often sold by Morrisons too.
I've ordered one and will use upstairs. If it turns out to be better than our old (CRT) TV downstairs, we'll put it down there.
Will need to find a cheap TV unit to put it on then though.

I am 99% sure that all Cello Iviewer TVs are wifi enabled. Will be interesting to see if a wifi dongle is included. The last Cello clone I purchased branded Soundwave was supplied with a wifi dongle even though the manual said it was optional.

I don't know why people are so paranoid that Quidco won't pay up.... on if the links SPECIFICALLY SAYS "Deal of the day + 10% cashback"

To me, this means that even if TV's are excluded from the 10% cashback... because this TV is 'deal of the day' it will be eligible!!!

That added to the fact the the cashback tracked after only 1 hour of my purchase....

Too many people scaring others on this site... If you're not going to buy something... no need to put others off!

Thanks for posting that link. Have to say that I very much like the appearance of the i bits and saw that there is a Lovefilm App on there - excellent!

I don't think that link is for the exact same TV because it goes on about connecting wirelessly with the included dongle.

Who knows, we may find out that for our £200 as well as full HD, 24p, DVD player, Smart TV functionality, USB timeshift and record, various file format playback, delivery and installation and 5 year warranty we get wireless functionality too!

I ordered this TV earlier and as has been said its good picture but with bad sound.

At this price i can get some nice speakers connect them up and i will have good picture and sound?

Thanks guys.

I believe the TV manual in the above link is correct for this TV deal, and equally believe it is supplemented with the additional iviewer manual:
"...Use this instruction Book after you have installed the TV using the standard Instruction book..."
See:
http://www.celloelectronics.com/img/products/instruction/iptv%20IB%205566dvb.pdf

I'm gonna go for this one too cos it's only a tenner, they have excellent feedback and it has the tilt which will be ideal in the bedroom.

thanks sorry whats 7.1 is that surround sound u talking about what did that set up cost you? as i thinking about buying surround sound system anyone reccomend a "decent budget system

That's fair enough :smiley: I have an amp and 7.1 on my LG which is my main tv so I can see your point. Good luck with your search :smiley::smiley:

Dude the sound will be fine!! I have 2 other LEDs one LG one Samsung and the reviews said the sound was poor but it's actually pretty good on both. Don't be put off by those reviews this is an awesome deal and you may miss an opportunity.

no to many bad reviews on sound quality on the whole cello range people say excellent picture but bad sound even on this model
so call them tommorow to cancel there be 1 more available for somebody here

Asda have a 22 or 24" LED TV with USB and built in DVD player in their new range. Looked at it in store the other day and that was only roughly 2cm deep. Was tempted to buy it but glad I held out for this bargain.

Now I need a cheap wall bracket that swivels =)

So you keeping it?

your right my mistake typed in Cello 32'' IPTV LED TV and that page came up my mistake -----but after reading reviews for the correct model people complain about sound quality

You seems to be reading reviews for a different tv (Cello 32"C32ZFCHAM). The one on offer was (Cello 32'' MS32100F)

For £9.99 delivered
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320878514112&clk_rvr_id=338508805855

Confused should I get the above or the one posted by 'offmypickle' @ Amazon. The ebay one seems to be better as it will be more closer to the wall and gives 15 degrees tilt.

Any Suggestions????

thanxs 3gees for u reply but decided to cancel the order as to many bad reviews on the sound which has put me of it tryed to cancel the order i hour later and site is not allowing me cancel the order saying i am unable to ammend the order, so looks like i have to phone them tommorow
unusual that they dont allow you to cancel a order 1 hour later thought there was a 7 day cooling of period with net orders???

some reviews about sound here

[quote=3gees]My quidco hasn't tracked - would be a bonus if it does!! Bit 2 early to raise a query?[/quote

same here my quidco hasnt tracked new to quidco so how long does it take to appear anyone can tell me thanx in advance

Hi
Appreciate the info and link - ordered. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for posting, got a May 2012 delivery date, good stuff

dealgeek - installation service details can be found under services tab
Basic set up of TV (ie to existing sockets) is included in free delivery service
M&S TV Wall Mount Installation Service = £80.00

Just ordered. Thanks for the original poster. Now OUT OF STOCK. Feeling sorry for late comers and who took long to make their minds.

Does any one know what is their installation policy. If i get a wall mount would they install wall mount and then hung the TV there or am I expecting too much.
Any ideas where can I read their installation policy

managed to order mine 10mins ago and got delivery for 20th June. Have noticed that they are now out of stock though.

It's advertised as 20mm, if it's 20cm it will be going straight back unfortunately. Given where it's being mounted the depth is important to me. The DVD mechanism could easily fit within that depth (my GF has one in her laptop which is approx 10mm thick for example), therefore I can't really judge the depth from that.

ordered but 1 hour later decided to cancel as reviews said sound wasnt good tinny and like a transistor radio tried to cancel my order but now saying order cannot be amended meaning not allowing me to cancel any ideas how to cancel this order with them

Is anyone else having a problem paying for the tv- it won't let me click on continue on the payments page.

Are you really expecting it to be 2cm thick, with the DVD mechanism behind the ? Hope I'm wrong, but more likely nearer 20cm.

Nope got 10 May 2012 maybe they have run out and that is the eta on next shipment?

All, thanks
Just ordered
Delivered by: Wednesday, 20 June 2012
Has any one else received this long date?

OOS!

TCB don't pay on M&S Electrical goods?

Just ordered one without any problems - site slightly slow - thanks OP.

Anyone know what usb devices work with this tv?

Would this one http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/intenso-usb-drive-32gb-11-49-inc-del-7dayshop-1207531

And how much recording would you get from 32gb?

Thanks, that answers one of my questions. Now just need some one to confirm it is in fact 20mm deep.

can't see any ethernet port in the manual

Ordered 2 sets but quidco did not track, been more than 3 hours, will have to raise query later on.

This review has put me off a bit:

"If you can get this at the right price then its great but you would probably be disappointed if you paid full price as its not on a par with the well known brands at that price point.
Pros: LED, 1080 resolution, DVD player, PVR, 'non-touch' buttons, Lots of connectivity.
Cons: Sound (like a cheap transistor radio from the 80's), Electronic Program Guide (very basic - no 'table' showing a combination of channels and time). No HD tuner. Remote control receiver is off-centre.
If its your main TV then you will probably want an external (HD?) tuner and speakers, if its a 2nd set for kitchen/bedroom etc then its probably OK.
PS, there is no branding on the TV and the bezel is in (rather a lot of) piano black"

To be fair, was sorta looking for something to put me off as I was torn between this and waiting to see if a good branded TV will go down any further. Lack of a good user interface is a good enough reason for me.

Wow what a ****. Thanks for the sarcastic response, explains why I see so many new posts on here with people saying "please be gentle".

There are TV's that offer a full web browser. This does pretty much everything else. Simple question to the existing owners, sometimes the feature doesn't get clearly advertised.

Quite tempted... I'll read some reviews

Ordered 2 sets but quidco did not track, been more than 3 hours, will have to raise query later on.

Great find BTW - not in the market for one myself (my next upgrade will be a 3D 40 inch Full HD affair) but great for people who have two hundred bar hanging around (he said jealously, secretly wanting one for his bedroom)

To be fair, that came pretty close.

Lose the "32" off the front of the model number shown on the M&S site and it takes you to this page with a whole bunch of reviews - note the different contrast ratio, and no mention of IPTV but otherwise looks identical - 48 customer reviews therein.

I suspect the one on sale today may be an updated version of that one I link to...

Just a query about size base, it may not fit were I want it to go.

Any familiar with the returns policy on TVs at M&S?

Ordered , many thanks!! heat added

Just ordered - Thanks for the heads up.
Will any wifi dongle work to give the internet functionality, or does it need to be specific ?

"Lags for a gaming a little"

Damn it..

Review

Thats a review to a similar product, I think its on the lower end - and still has a decent review - I am trying to find a reason not to buy!

to anyone smarter than me: if i attach a webcam to this would i be able to use skype via tv? or am i just being a plain ol' silly?

nice one OP just ordered

Any chance of full web browsing / webmail on this?

Cheers OP, great find, ordered and delivery advised prior to 9th May, heat added :smiley:

Is this good for gaming? Im interested in hooking my xbox 360 to it.

Yes, if worried on price, direct link to MS deal of the day for this TV is;

http://www.marksandspencer.com/Offers/b/82867031

It does state even on TCB that there's no cashback on household electricals or technology???
I bought an ipod dock at Christmas which tracked when I bought it but was then declined later on.
Hopefully you'll get it, but if you're not going to get it it might have been worth a punt via quidco, if you not going to get either like :wink:

I agree, do it while you can, better to have no regrets...

Hmm decisions decisions I do need a tv for the bedroom

Just ordered 1. Will be interesting! Cannot see Quidco tracking yet.

This is very hot! Nice find OP!

Ordered one thanks.

Im in for one, worth a punt as a bedroom tv, and well worth the risk with the 5yrs warrenty

hope it is correct in the specs saying 20mm thick

ordered cheers op

Surely you can just cancel the order then? DSR and all that?

I went for a 'guaranteed' £6.66 with TopCashback instead, would rather be sure to get something than possibly nothing.

Good luck with that though, if you get it you'll be laughing!

typical I ordered my daughter a smart tv for her birthday yesterday and it cost me the same price but for a 22 in :disappointed: great find and great price heat added

HEAT - forgot to add - Massive thanks to the OP - I have ordered one as I have needed one for awhile at this price. I did look at the Dixon/Amazon one for £89 more - but the 5yr warranty& delivery / installation swung it for me.
Can anyone help with where best price to purchase a suitable wall bracket please & or any advice for add'l hardware that I might need that doesn't come as standard? Would hate for this not be properly set up when delivered! Thanks in advance

Scanning the user reviews on M&S for the product, one person reported: "Have been very pleased so far, with this purchase. The engineer was excellent and tuned the tele in and got rid of the tinny noise without even being asked to. Would recommend this purchase."

Does anyone know what the tv engineer with the 'magic fingers' actually did to get rid of the tinny noise? Or alternatively, recommend how to set the tv up to get the optimum sound quality from the standard set up?

BTW Hi realblender, still lurking the boards and dispensing pearls of wisdom i see.

Ordered ! Many thanks to Leet1984.

Anyone know what WIFI dongles will work with this ?

Your shift key is broken.
Your keyboard is junk.
You should have bought a more expensive one.

Christ alive, look how big the bezel is! Who designed it, Rick Waller?

Can anyone confirm if the picture is accurate? Also is the 20mm depth measurement accurate?

Does this TV have a PC Input as i need one and i couldnt't see if it has one?

Wow strong words? I'm open to alternative 32" TVs at this price point, please let me know if there are any better options.

Nope, it can be rejected later.

Add speakers, problem solved. It ain't the Krypton Factor.

Just realised that I didn't use the correct window (different browser) for order - doubt cashback will track.
Would it be better to cancel order and reorder properly or raise a non-tracking claim at Quidco?

My quidco hasn't tracked - would be a bonus if it does!! Bit 2 early to raise a query?

SHUT UP!!!!

Read the thread. Owners of this set have popped up and vouched for it.

This is a completely different TV to the one you are posting. What is your point? Do you think we are unable to read reviews for Cello on the same site?

Get a life...

Yeah, but does it being tracked mean you will get paid?

If so £180 for all that is a superb, mega, huge, uber bargain! Even not it is still all of those excessive adjectives that are usually posted on this site for local, store specific or simply "meh" "deals"!

SCORCHING HOT DEAL! Just bought this for my old man as he has been stalling on buying a TV for his bedroom, but this much TV for such a little amount of money - and the 5 year guarantee - just can't go wrong really! Thanks OP! Heat+

Don't forget the excellent features the Cello TV has (nevermind the 5 yr guarantee) like DVD player for a start!

And just to confirm my Quidco 10% cashback HAS tracked, So that's another 20 quid off :smiley:

GET THIS TV QUICK BEFORE YOU REGRET IT!!!!

Has to be the best NON reason to buy or not to buy.... ever!

I guess if you don't have an alarm clock or mobile then you really need this - lol - troll!

Please could someone confirm if this has an ON timer as it would be great for the bedroom but I would like to use it as a wake up alarm - thanks.

Ideal for the Office, especially for the Olympics!!! Nice with the iPlayer / Smart TV...

Add to basket, register / sign in, once you have gone through that and approach payment screen it will do the £200 'deal of the day' discount

Thanks OP, ordered for my brothers room, fingers crossed the quidco comes through.

Can anyone who's got one confirm the depth? Also from the pics it looks like there is no branding on the set, is that correct?

Hollymia I get it now - hardwire is for the internet access...cheers

My bad, sorry for not properly reading the O.P.
That said I'd be more inclined to pay the extra £88 and buy the cracking deal on the samsung panel from Amazon if your after top quality.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007JURCH8/ref=nosim/?tag=hotukdeals-21

However if your in the market for a cheap all-in-one telly for the kids play room then this combined with the free 5 year warranty is a cracking deal imho.

Nice find - ordered

EDIT: 39" for 60 quid more at e-buyer:
http://www.ebuyer.com/345838-cello-c39114dvb-39in-lcd-tv-1080p-full-hd-1-year-warranty-c39114dvb

Prefer the 5yr warranty on this one though.

I would say it's this one re-branded
http://www.celloelectronics.com/products/detail_feature/76/C32100F_IPTV

VGA or HDMI input for PC. Very impressive for the price, thanks OP....ticks all the boxes (most importantly the price!)

Quite a deal, for those who are unsure about the brand (like I was) here are their website

A British company so presumably better support and also better for our econemy :wink:

http://www.celloelectronics.com/

Thanks for posting, OP, went for one for my mum, at that price with a 5 year guarantee it'd be rude not to :smiley:

Not a problem m8, anytime. For that sort of money and a 5year g'tee ya can't go wrong!

Fantastic tv. Very surprised by the picture quality, above norm SD picture, excellent HD. Sound wise its average, but so are most slimline telly's. Media player plays MPEG4,(AVI, MP4, DOVX4.5. XVID ), but will NOT play files encoded to .x264. Bargain.

To be honest no. It was bought as a TV for a spare room. Didn't even realise it was internet enabled??

Wow - thanks a lot for your feedback. Can't believe that it plays all those formats AND has Timeslip and USB record - what a bargain!

And if you have a Panasonic Plasma I think you will know what you are on about!

Have a large Samsung as our main TV and my parents have a smaller Panny and it always annoys me quite how sharp their 37" TV is - it's perfect - lol.

For a bedroom TV this sounds great - thanks for the advice. Chuffed.

i got the 42 inch not long ago and these r a great buy 4 the money.hot from me

What about internet? Have you tried facebook, youtube, iplayer?

Superb deal! My dad needs 2 32" TV's and he's stalling against my advice. He'll be crying once they've all gone!!!!

Thanks for posting this OP.

Am registered with M&S but they never send me any offers.

Have been on the lookout for a 1080p around the £200 mark for a long time.

Bit of a gamble on this one but 5 year guarantee I struggled to see the downside.

Cheers

Bit naughty really from Quidco a link to deal of the day plus 10% cashback;

The T&C clearly say electrical goods excluded but best of luck.

Added itemtobasket but still showing as £299 on payment page. Am i missing something?

Bought one of these for the better half just before Xmas at the same price with the 5 year g'tee. Great set for the money! Great deal for the 5 year g'tee alone!

The quidco offer excludes a number of things TV s being one.

Got to resist, not sure my TV has much life in it, but can't really justify that as a reason until it goes.

This does seem a great price for a lot of TV, although I probably wouldn't use the extras anyway!!

Must have been a price error, showing as £399 now which makes it silly expensive compared to what else is on the market!
Hope the lucky peeps that got in on time manage to get them at £200 though :-)

It probably is worth going through one of them.

I got so caught up in the whirlwind I just bought one. Am pretty sure you won't get paid out 10% but who knows.

A lot of TV for £200 with the 5 year warranty. And there was I thinking that the recent Hanspree non Full HD at £200 with 2 yrs looked "OK" - lol.

Have a feeling this is gonna shift fast and people will be kicking themselves for not buying!

Hmmm I fancy getting this for the backroom in our house.

Was going to buy a 22" Samsung LED for £162, but we have £100 worth of M&S vouchers, so can't go wrong really at that price (with the 5 year warrantee).

Thanks OP - great find :smiley:
Ordered one for children's bedroom
I think it's probably worth going through Quidco as although the normal Quidco rate T&C's states TVs not included - there is a special link for 10% off deal of the day which takes you directly to the this TV - so to my thinking this should qualify for the 10% as it is the deal of the day - Always worth a try anyway :wink:

Looks like you can get 3% Cashback at TopCashBack, no mention of it not applying to TV's on there like Quidco...

If you go to Quidco click on all offers under the Marks & Spencer tab, then click on deal of the day, it takes you straight to the page for this tv.

Built in the UK too : http://www.celloelectronics.com/static_pages/page/about-cello
Not sure if that's a good or bad thing ;-)

Ordered, good price and you seem to get a lot for your money. Only thing more I would have wanted is to be able to play movies from my media server, but DNLA = No so that doesn't look possible... never mind, I'll buy a media streamer with the money I saved!
Re: sound quality, if it's crap I'll just use some external speakers, no problems.

As far as Wifi dongles go, I think you'd be better off using the money for some ethernet powerline adapters, far more stable for streaming.

hi guys whats the delivery turnaround???? anyone bought...

I ordered one and its coming up as delivery by 9th May!

Whats the best dongle for wifi?

It is also 20mm deep - which is thin!

I can't afford it but I can't refuse at this price - dammit this site!

Agreed - who cares with a 5 year warranty?

Usually the T&C specify that they will replace with a similar spec TV if the model is not available.

For what you get, 1080p, DVD player, Smart TV, 5 yrs guarantee, installation for £200 is SCORCHING HOT.

M&S must have confidence in them to offer all that I would of said...

Never heard of this Make before. - Is it a good make? will it last for long or 1-2 years?

this is awesome,great quality.bargain

Does anybody know if this has Lovefilm app? It says it can access your home computer but dnla = No, does that mean it can only access your computer if you plug it into your computer?

Yes - re read the OP again - apologies.

I can't afford it and can't be bothered to get my password back from them.

Cracking price - wish I had bought the Sony they were doing for £280 a couple of months back.

HOT!

Carry on reading past the price.

Just bought one! Thanks OP!

AMAZING DEAL!!!

Seems like a great deal!

I think Quidco are doing 10% cash back at M&S ends today I think? :smiley:

I can't find any reviews for this tv, some of the Cello tv's have very poor sound quality. Although this is great price!
