    Vistron

    Has anyone heard of Vistron? Or maybe even own a TV made by them?

    Ebuyer currently have the whole range of Vistron LCD TVs discounted and they all seem to have some pretty good features for the price. A 22" for £199.99 is HD ready with built in freeview. Or a 15" for the bedroom has freeview and a DVD player built in for only £129.99.

    Here is the link: http://www.ebuyer.com/special/1552?eblt=main_banner2

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    I tend to never trust brands I haven't heard the name of. I should just check some reviews.

    Sounds like a generic brand and whilst they are never the greatest quality they tend to be a bit Ronseal and also can last longer thanm Stonehenge. So as long as you are not a labels person i say go for it.

    With most of the brandless TV's, the actual panels are made by major manufacturers using their last generation technology (~6 month old technology). I've got a no-name LCD TV but the panel itself is made by Phillips-LG.

    I've got a 32"HD Vistron and am very happy with it.
    I was the same when looking at them, had not heard of the name before but after reading the reviews on ebuyer decided to go for it and am pleased i did.
