Well I had mine tv delivered on satarday and ive got to say I'm well happy for 499 it's a steel I work for sky and I see all types of tvs every day this Telly certainly holds it's own the sound is poor like all LEDs but ive got mine hooked up to my amp so it's not a problem. I say buy it you can't go wrong the HD through a sky box is perfect a gaming on that size tv is incredible love it. Remember it's only 499 so it's a no brainer
While browsing Currys I noticed a brand of LED TV I'd not noticed before Sandstrom. I found the same TV online here.
I can't find much about these TVs and a search on this forum provided no results. Anyone heard of them and are they another manufacturer's TV re-badged?
anyone else got when there is a Dark scene on screen the the contrast seems to go up and down on its self
Isn't that how LED backlighting works? It varies the level of background light to match the scene to enable deeper blacks but it will keep auto-adjusting. Surely it has to do this?
Certain material will catch it out.
purchased this tv last night for the amazing price of £464
after seeing the 40" in a local currys - sat next to tv's from Samsung, Sony & the like I cant believe all the flaming im seeing in here just because this is a "own brand" tv.
for the last 4 years I've owned a Tesco 32" Technica and it has been the best TV ever for the cost - handled the lot and picture was fantastic.
Im an unbiased person, dont like all this "its better cos it cost more like" ****** .... u pay for the name half the time.
I will post an unbiased review with pictures of xbox 360/ sky HD and PS3 next week (hopefully) as it arrives tomorrow!
I wouldn't worry about other's opinions. If you're happy with your set, that's all that matters. A lot of people on here are looking for the best tv available at a particular time, but in reality there are plenty of adequate sets like the Sandstrom LED's on the market that are sufficient for most people's needs.
The only area to be wary of on the own-brand sets, is parts availability if they go wrong. As a repair centre, we see that this causes more of these sets to be 'written off' if they go faulty as the parts are often not available soon after a model is no longer sold in the stores.
I have just had my new Sandstrom 46" LED TV delivered a few days ago. I managed to get it for £464.00 using the online discount of £35. Generally i am very impresssed with this TV, i have a couple of small issues which i am not sure about?. The TV is 100HZ but i still get motion judder at times for example if i watch breakfast tv, a presenter may move his hand and you would see a juddering movement or turns his or her head and you may see this motion judder?. I must say that this is random and does not always happen although i read that you would probably see this happen more frequently watching fast moving objects or sports?. I did not really noticed any judder when i watched F1 last week. I have tried the MEMC settings which is a great feature and can make some movies look like they are filmed live or really old movies can look totally different with this feature on strong.
Now the other issue i noticed is 2 flashing dots at the bottom edge of the screen?, i am not sure what these are or if these are faults?. You notice them more when a darker colour is present on the screen but they are always present?. I wonder if anybody can shed any light on these issues i have or maybe they are not issues at all?. I just need to be sure something so new is operating as it should. Does anybody know of any Sky codes for this TV?.
Thank you in advance for any help any of you kind people can offer.
Hi
You can still get some judder on 100Hz TVs, in some cases more, it depends on how good the TV is at interpolating new frames to try and smooth the motion, and even good ones get confused. Has the judder gone if you turn this feature off?
You shouldn't have dots flashing anywhere on the screen, if they are there on everything, that is fault.
However, if they are tiny dots like pin pricks almost which are visible as brighter dots on darker backgrounds, these are faulty pixels. I suspect these cheap TVs are using a lower grade of LCD panel which makes them cheaper, i.e. those panels that are faultless are grade A and get snapped up for the premium brands. Check here to see if this is what the are. Typically a few faulty pixels are not consider a fault, so it depends on the shop if they will exchange it for you.

Yeh was going to post that the 46" version is down to £500.
I have one purchased but not able to give a quick review or take photos just yet, will try to this weekend.
Can anyone clarify the warranty on the 46" Sandstrom led tv that comes with the unit ( not extended warranties).
I cant find my paperwork at present but have seen some people mention it comes with a 3 year warranty as standard?.
I cannot find any reference to Sandstrom led tvs at Curry anymore as this is where i purchased mine?.
Have they run out of stock or discontinued the product?.
Any help / info would be appreciated.
