Just checked eBay. Not true.

You mentioned it.

In this age of 4k tv and Hdr, so many are throwing away perfectly working full HD tv like this. Instead of wasting £179, just look for second hand on ebay and other give away websites . You will be surprised you can get a TV like this for free or nearly free.

Great bed time story bro!

....moral of the story is...not to dismiss deals like this just because someone says you can get one for free if you sit and watch eBay listings for a few days / months / years....

You should now prove a point and give your TV away for free :smiley:

In before someone mentions 4k

I know, my bad :wink:

However, I think this deal is HOT!

good find op, heat added

Wow cheap

That's a cracker. Personally holding out for hopefully 200ish 49" in the New Year.

Great deal. Can't find full spec of this model anywhere
Does anybody know if it's 50hz, 100 or 200hz?
I'm about to press buy but I've been told 50hz is too low for gaming and sports
Will I get motion blur at 50hz?
Please help anyone as I don't wanna miss this deal <3

Great price, ordered one earlier tonight ​

Ta mate. Makes perfect sense. The Tesco returns policy agrees with what you said. It doesn't mention you can return to store but I'm sure that'll be fine

Just ordered. Thanks for the advice re motion lag :smiley:

Is this a 10 bit tv?

Tesco are doing free home delivery and 1.5% cashback from Quidco or topcashback as well

In before someone mentions Vestel.

​apologise mate - I meant input lag not motion lag ! Have had my brain fried in my pursuit of cheap gaming tv ! Once you get tv it is also worth looking at settings as some tvs have specific games settings

Anyone know depth without stand? Spec says 20cm, but i assume that is with stand.

We were getting the 32" version for this price for digital signage so 40" is a steal.

Some people actually liked this comment :confused:

i had this tv and surely can recommend it.
- very light weight , hence easy to move and setup
- remote and channel transition very smooth
- 3 hdmi which ensures chromecast/sky/laptop all possible at same time.

only disadvantage i see is the "stand". Not quite like the concept of two legs as you need a tv stand that big. Otherwise bang for £179a

I suspect the manufacturing supply over-, and low demand for these types will trump the currency issues. Sharp had to be bailed out recently. Wonder of the £179 how much is shipping, how much Tesco gets, then there is Sharp? Margins might be thin.

In fact Sharp TVs are now Slovakian made under licence in Poland. According to Wiki:

In September 2014, Sharp announced that Slovakian electronics company UMC was acquiring an exclusive brand licence from Sharp and its European television and audio business UMC will also acquire Sharp’s Polish factory. As part of the deal, Sharp will support the design and development of televisions sold by UMC under the Sharp brand

Sharp is a licensed Vestel brand for white goods in Europe including rebadged Servis washing machines.

Sharp TVs are crap and their customer service is worse.

here's the manual

id pay extra and get a hisense... 4k with smart apps

I've got a three year old 60" led sharp and I wouldn't use it for gaming due to lag. Set it up using afterdawn at the time.. Software is slow, Amstrad slow, Spend a bit more money elsewhere

To be fair, sony are / have released an update to allow the ps4 (non pro) to show HDR at 1080p. Not worked out why yet, can't think of a 1080p TV it'll work on...

How does this compare to the 43" digihome for £199 at Tesco? Looking for replacement for Mam do nothing special needed.

i gave away a 32" tv a few weeks back, that count? i had a 42" in the living room that i replaced with a 50 so the 42 went upstairs, i sort of agree about the throw away society so it does happen. Gonna have an LG 2.1 system going soon too, charity shops do well out of me
if this tv had a middle type base stand id have it for the kids room, its a bargain at this price

Yep and at the bottom of the last page the details of the maker:

UMC Poland sp. z o.o.
Ostaszewo 57B, 87-148 Łysomice,
Poland
Assembled in Europe

Yes, pity about the wide stand.

I sold my £600 TV (Few years ago now) for under £200 on eBay. He is right about finding cheap used TVs. My TV was less than 2 years old.

£200 is not "free or nearly free". Still waiting for links :smiley:

Just add extra 70£ and buy for. 250£ 50inch bush tv,or 48inch hitachi (smart) both on argos and the 48inch hitachi (had 700+ reviews) is gone at the past weeks.i got second hand 50inch bush and at gaming i dont see any lag,gaming diference compared to my another tv samsung 48 f6500.

You think 200 is almost free?

My friend would like to say , you are wrong, just keep searching they can go very quickly, that's how he got his 40" LG full HD for £40 but he had to collect.

I'm looking for a 40" FHD TV for my bedroom to play PS4 on. Is this a good TV for gaming?

Am I better off waiting for Black Friday deals? I am in no rush just yet, but I would like a new TV by February.

Are any decent (for gaming) 40" FHD LED TVs likely to be around the £150 mark any time soon?

lol wut

But it is UMC :-(

only for a spare bedroom! I have this in my bedroom and thank God I have, the sound quality is poor.

If you move your eyes from side to side fast enough you won't get any blur! :smile:

Thats just not on...I would expect full courier delivery for free TV's ...Tut tut people these days! :stuck_out_tongue:

it was an inane comment why then did you have the need to check :confused:

Doesn't matter - Plenty of other sounds in bedroom :sunglasses:

Sounds of tumbleweed :smirk:

We live near a main road also but triple glazing helped!!

Does anybody know the distance between the two little feet that act as the stand? My TV stand is 80cm wide so not sure if this will fit. Thanks!

I quite agree in a way, I found a Samsung 48uej7000 I think it is , which is 4K uhd an very impressive set which I got for 280 complete with a lg blue ray player all boxed as new with plastic stickers still on anddddd a receipt for John Lewis for remaining just under 5yr warranty :smile: bargains are out there new or nearly new :wink:

I think it would fit comfortably as the 40" is the diagonal, so draw a line from corner to corner on the picture of the TV with a piece of string and take away one quarter of that will leave you with 30"stretch that across the legs on the picture to give you an idea of the distance they are apart. Did you fail geometry at school?

Did you fail English at school? Don't see why you have to be sarcastic about my question. The width of the tv is just under 93cm so I just wanted to see what the cm was between the feet given the width of my tv stand.

Way too much heat for this. About the right price for a 'supermarket' TV, which sadly is what the lower end Sharp sets are nowadays.

Actually yes I did fail English at school even if I did go to a Grammar School. As I was not going to be a poet or an author I realised that as I could speak and understand what others were saying verbs, adjectives, hyphens and full stops were not required. I did like geometry, woodwork and metalwork though so passed those with high marks, especially the ash tray I made from a flat plate. As I was going into the Army the only English I needed to know was fire at will and retreat so failing English was no big deal to me and I passed up the ranks and was able to shout at lower ranks, in English, to stand up straight at attention and double round the parade ground with no knowledge of parenthesis or hyphens and I earned good money too.
After 15 years of doing this I got a bit tired of all this war making so re-joined civvy street and became a car transporter driver and surprise surprise no English required except to ask at the dropping off point " where do you want these mate ". For this I was able with Saturday morning deliveries to earn in excess of £1,000 per week and live a comfortable life style, but then along came computerisation, changing work patterns and these all in all made it harder to do the job and less wages for more work and nights away from home, so a review of my situation caused me to go self employed and hire out my services as a driver which I did with good success and still I did this without English qualifications. I am now retired and due to the fact I had some really good advice during my Army career and without English qualification just the ability to speak English and understand, set up a good pension scheme that along with my government and SERP's and Army pensions gives me, after tax a little over £500 per week.
So it looks as if failing English at school has only caused a problem to you. Never mind eh.

Great value. If its a redbadged Vestel no issue, I've had three similar , a 21.5", 32" and sat watching a 50" at the moment and all work excellently including the pvr function with a memory stick. This is a good chunk of inches for the money. Buy this and if it lasts 3-4 years, great as that might then be the time to make the 4k move. Good spot OP

What size of memory stick are you using?

Might be the model I'm watching now and it's great with the PS4, £279 on a deal at Argos about 2 years back

Anybody actually bought this? What's the freeview quality like?

Model number LC-40CFF4041K

​God you are a nasty puke

Yes but a financially well off nasty puke, see my post #63.

anyone got this and can say anything about the sound if its tinny or not?

I'd like to comment for you DH but my delivery hasn't arrived as promised today and as it's past 5.00pm I doubt it's coming........

No worries but thanks for replying. Hope it turns up!

Sound is more than acceptable, in fact I'm quite amazed at what a cracking TV this is, picture on HD channels is wonderful. Thanks go to the OP, kristoon for finding the deal.

Oos

Sharp TVs always go after a year when I have purchased them. Not a fan

Got one, great bang for buck!, very happy with it, will have this for a couple more years until 4k is cheaper/better and more mainstream.

Then why do you keep buying them?

I don't anymore, not for a few years have they got better?

Sharp branded brown goods - ie TV's are manufactured by UMC - Universal Media Corporation ( who also knock out Blaupunkt TV's ) - and have been doing so for a few years now. Sharp TV's have absolutely nothing to do with vestel.

Sharp branded white goods - ie washing machines, fridges etc are manufactured by Vestel.

Over in America Sharp is now owned by Hi - Sense.

Vestel does not have any part in manufacturing sharp branded TV's.

Sharp make the white goods and Vestel put their name on them. Over in America Sharp sold it's factory in Mexico to Hisense and Hisense sell their product with the Sharp name on them In North and South America, except Brazil.
Sharp does the design and development of it's TV's made by UMC who are just an OEM, making TV's etc. for other brands.

Anyone got the Virgin Tivo remote code for this TV?

i had my tv delivered today but screen was damaged. none in stock so getting a refund. gutted.

I see it has a USB port... Anyone know for sure if it can play files on a stick?

And what's the Ethernet port for, given it's not smart?

And... and... something else I might remember in a sec...

Now £219 and in stock. Please expire
