I recently bought an avant 32 with DVD1 and MINT Beo4 (dvd version) for UK130. This is for use in a secondary room , mainly by the (teenage) kids with a digibox and consoles...sound & picture are great, it controls SKY and they can play the vcr's from their childhood.
the avant has truly superb sound, it sits snugly in a corner and was maybe 20% the price of a new high street LED/furniture/dvd combo. If it lasts 3 years, that is just over £1 a week.
bargain...... all because people want to buy flat panels....even if they are rubbish in comparison. When used in a corner, they take up the same space.
Lucky us, I say - hoover up the unwanted crt's for a few ££'s before they all get thrown out.
