You'd choose the Aldi because it's 1080p? This despite the fact there are more important aspects to a television set than whether it can do 1080p. Especially seeing as though...

1. Viewing angles play a part as to whether you'd even notice.

2. Sky, Freeview and Freesat don't natively broadcast in 1080p.

3. 1080p on a 32 inch set is widely regarded as being a marketing ploy and, to some, no difference between 720p and 1080p on a set of that size.

4. What if the Aldi TV suffers from motion blur, poor sound, dire response time, and ghosting issues, yet the Toshiba doesn't? Guess it still has 1080p and a premium remote control going for it.

Basing a decision purely on a higher number, is this case, is ludicrous.


They are giving the Specs

"Resolution: 1920 x 1080"



What is so stupid is you do not know if Toshiba
or LG or Samsung made this Aldi TV.
Then add the Tevion name




"Sky, Freeview and Freesat don't natively broadcast in 1080p"
Correct its 1080i
well above your 720P




But by adding a BluRay Player (now costing under £50)
it will play Full HD 1080P
unlike your real old 720P TV that can not
