I was in Asda Birchwood (Warrington) this afternoon and they had reduced the price of this tv from £229 to £149. There were two on the shelf and an additional one on display. Seems like a good price as Argos are selling it for £249 in the sale. Shelf label also said £149 so should be national but stock may be limited.

I have one of these but the 4K model Ambilight, and paid twice the reduced price, then purchase this model for the bedroom due to its capabilities, so anyone with the opportunity to purchase one of these please do so as you'll regret it.

No, not really on the look out for a new telly. Just spotted this in the passing. Only one left on the shelf however.

Anyone managed to install Kodi on one of these? If so, how is the performance?
£114 in my local Asda, so tempted as a bedroom upgrade.

Have been looking in and around Edinburgh to no avail - called 6 stores and none have it. They all seem to stock the 4100 series. Has anyone managed to find this deal in Scotland? I also cannot seem to find the same model for sale on other web-retailers. Looks likely to me that it has been discontinued and ASDA are removing any old stock...

A heads up....Asda have reduced the 32" to £114 in store. Total steal at this price.

Purchased last Wednesday evening, in Asda Ardrossan, it was the last one they had. Although they had loads of 32" for £149.

Twas on the shelf in asda York at 229. Chap scanned in the bar code and came up at 149. Alas none on hand / in stock. Sad times!

Picked up the 40PFS5501 at my local Asda. For £199 this really is exceptional value for money. Where else can you get a 40" LED decent brand TV that includes both Freeview HD & Freesat HD, is a decent SmartTV and includes a plethora or HDMI and USB ports as well as has built in WiFi, not to mention that it looks pretty smart and has a small footprint. Got to be the best TV buy this year by far. By the way the RRP is £399 and Argos currently sells it for £349.

Shame. Ive been able to pick up the 40" but its too big...

Hopefully another well priced 32" comes available :disappointed:

what date is your current firmware steev0? originally mine was April 2016 I think I tried updating an no new firmware was found. I played around with adb for a bit it would connect but showed device offline. I then went to general settings and reinstall tv after that I went settings/update software an I got an update dated 18th October. This only happened this morning so I don't if it was reinstalling the tv or if the firmware just got rolled out today.

dbfreaky - yep my firmware was dated march 2016 with no update available yesterday. Checked just now and there is the update you mention! Unknown sources now available! mobdro installed! cheers!

They told me to call back this morning, as I went last last night. They said I would get more help as the relevant department would be available.

None in Tamworth, and only one on display in Minworth. Asked for a price check but Asda assistant was unable to help, as there was no SEL ticket on shelf. Unbelievable. Obviously haven't got a search by description function, on there system.

I'm pleased that a few people have managed to pick these up. I didn't buy one myself as I have no need for another tv - hence the lack of evidence (didn't realise what a good deal it was until I looked into it after getting home).

£299?!
Like Madmal said, that's too much.
£220 or under is a reasonable price & I'd pay that for a Philips Full HD Smart TV, simply because it's Android.

Thanks again. I'll bide my time for a good deal on a Philips 40"
I'm really surprised that the cheaper brands don't use Android for their Smart platforms.

Thanks for the information. I'm looking for a new TV, but around 40"
Since these Philips Smart TVs are android, can they download & install APKs? (apps like Showbox)

Are Philips & Sony the only brands that use Android for their Smart TVs?
allen46 to punjabi90

I believe so but the Philips version is seriously lacking compared to sony the only UK catch-up service on philips is BBC iPlayer.

There is a bigger one on offer at £199 but can't remember if they said that was the 40" or 50".

Comes with Android, and more importantly Google Playstore, so popular media players can be downloaded and installed with minimum fuss.
