I`ve got Wharfdale (£280). You have to fiddle with the settings a bit for DVD widescreen, but it`s still good value. Try Tescos.
Also Sainsburys had a 32`` for £299.

I recall seeing a 28" widescreen in ASDA a while back. Don`t recall the brand name though.

Asda do a Schneider 28" w/s TV for £327.88. Good thing about this is they include a free 3 year warranty. No idea what they are like (I can`t afford one yet!) but I`ve been told they use a Philips tube, and they are a large German maker. Hope his helps..

I was thinking of buying this t.v. (the Schneider 28 inch widescreen) from Asda this week but am getting conflicting advice!!! Does anyone own one!

Some say it has (or had?) huge probs by changing on-screen format of its own accord. Although I read the tube is phillips which should be good.
The other two tv`s I was looking at are now out of the picture as they do not accept NTSC reg 1 discs:
tesco Bush WS6671 and
(BOO) currys, Matsui 28wn05

Can anyone help as i don`t want to spend my cash on a piece of poop.

I`ve just bought a 100HZ 28 inch schneider from asda for £399.97,
sexy black an` flat tube, good picture, reasonable TV sound, loads of features, i.e. multi screen in screen, auto system changing. (PAL NTSC SECAM).
Not a pretty chasis,silver plastic, smiley moulding thing, appalling remote.
On the whole after 28 hours of ownership I`m stoked!

What DVD player do you have?

It`s just some (like my Mico A980) convert NTSC to PAL so they play on any TV

Thanks for that.
Re. above question - I have the minato dvd player from tesco and you change region with a remote hack.....
But ideally I wanted to purchase from the supermarket chain as I have had nothing but bad experience with electrical retailers like comet.
The Schneider I saw at Asda was next to the silver one that you purchased Sanejo but was the black version for £323 which I was told had all the same features of the £399 but without the nice finish? I have just seen another one in there 28 inch model number 2803 with the dimensions of a widescreen but no one could confirm if it was a widescreen in reality as it was only £229. Have you seen it?
SO IS the Schneider widescreen STILL satisfactory in your opinion? I really want to buy this weekend.
Thanks,
Rachel
