HEAT!
Nice one Vassy, hope you filled your little shopping basket up with all 3, you deserve
a big bargain find from all your support to members and deal threads on HUKD ;-)
@ only 79pixels off a FHD screen & 2GB of ram, branded as well, what more could
you ask for!
Maybe you just phrased what you said really confusingly, but just to make it clear this device has a 1920x1200 resolution screen, which *is* FullHD, with a little extra vertical space to spare. It's a higher resolution than FullHD, not lower.

Very easy to put android 6.01 marshmallow on this tablet. Doze and permissions are great.

First: You need root permissions - i used towelroot
Second: You need install flashify from play store and install twrp recovery for lg g pad 8.3 (v500)
Third: From twrp You can flash any rom and gapps.
Roms and gapps You can find on xda site. I got stock android AOSP but You can install as well Cm13 and gapps.
For more instructions go to yt and google, and type, how to use towelroot or flashify or twrp.
And the best thing, if You brick your tablet no problem, install lg drivers and LGMobile Support Tool on PC and it back your device to latest official soft.

Those birds have uncanny resemblance to my local Asda staff ,if you can train them up to say no chance mate they could be working for Asda right now who would know the difference. Great deal if you can beat the turkies to it.

Excellent price for a very good tablet if you can get one, my GPad 8.3 still as fast as when I purchased it, it's a shame LG never updated it beyond Kitkat 4.4.2 but their are many good custom roms for it. Good find. Heat added.

I've had mine for 3 years or so. fantastic. bought on sale for £120. bought 5 of them and gifted them to people. Still in old firmware but it's fine. ONE BIG ISSUE WITH THIS TABLET. if you go to zero power it simply won't charge up again. if this happens you have to press on the power button for 20 seconds then charge using a PC so it trickle charges. you may need to do this for 4-5 hrs before using a normal charger. or else even if u leave it on charge for 24hrs with normal charger it won't accept the charge. kids usually take it soooo low!

Does this improve the performance, had mine at least 2 years, getting a little sluggish now so was thinking on doing a factory restore anyway, but might update to marshmallow if there's no drop in performance? Are you using plain android or a custom rom?

I've got this and a Linx 10. I love them both but the display and battery of the Gpad makes the Linx feel so bargain basement in comparison.
If you can get this for 50 then you're very lucky. Heat

A 1 store Asda deal again it seems. Damn these deals!

Not bad. Used to own one. A bit dated software. And problems with memory card dismounting.
But for £50 it is a bargain

Seems like someONE got a bargain.
Its a good tablet, and would be great at that price.
BUT ... unless anyone else confirms this deal, it looks cold to me, even if it is currently one of this site's top-voted deals of today.

It would be if you didn't still have to explain what FHD+ is to most people. :smile: Just stating the resolution is still the most straightforward way for most people... like what I did.

I hate these one store deals, ruins the site... gets harder each day to filter the site for real bargains! The only decent bargains are the ones they link from email which i already have...

Bought mine 2 years ago on a tesco special for £108...rooted now and CM13, battery life is stellar.
Still a more than capable tablet and if you can bag one at this price then its the deal of the year!

Still the best tablet I have ever owned for the money I paid. Now belongs to my 4yr old and holding up well, if the card dismount issues have been solved in AOSP I may upgrade it that.

Don't get how this is hot no one else can get me. It's like the home base deal I posted

I have had one since that rather good Tesco deal a couple of years ago now (I think).
Really don't use it much at all now, but it is a good tablet. The main issue I had with it is the battery was quite poor / average compared to my iPad and Sony Z3 tablet (about half as long).

Rang all local asdas they have not stocked them for months so I assume it's just stock markdowns on old stock in that branch, fill ya boots man

is this another Hoax "you must come to the store", like last time about a harddrive?
ASDA and Tesco do it all the time.
You certainly will find nothing..
