I’ve already got a 42″ Panasonic but I am thinking of getting a tiddly (LOL!) 32″ TV with Fview and built-in DVD Player to put in my new conservatory (If it ever gets done…4.5 metres square and scratch built).
Are these tellies any good or is it a case of jack-of-all master-of-none? This will be the 2nd telly, used for backup when the Master-of-all is watching her junk like Prime Suspect.
My budget is down at the £300 mark.

Is that a Glass one?
Mine, the roof is opaque white plastic, triple layer stuff. 1.5″ thick. My South facing wall is solid Brick (It’s a boundary and I can’t put a window in it). It’s supposed to keep that sort of heat out.We’ve gone over the top with the building regs, I’ve got 3 inches of foam in the South Wall, the stub walls that are under the windows and within the concrete floor. Interor walls are all Thermolites. This lot should also aid temp. regulation.
It’s a single pitch roof up against the house, the highest point (House) is about 9 foot, so it’s airy as well. I will put a thermostat in there and keep a watching brief, especially as we are expecting a scorcher of a summer. (The Frogspawn is in the middle (Over the deeper water hence last longer in a drought), the Frogs long term forecasting is better than the Met office). And I know the Spawn will be gone by Summer.Come September, the Bold words will be used against me!
We have a glass roof and it is east facing so it gets the sun from morning until about 3pm. You might be OK with your arrangement. As long as it doesn’t get too bright to see the screen!

I’m not sure I’d put a telly in a conservatory. Our conservatory gets very hot in the summer (40-50°C).

It really doesn’t matter how big the ‘tele’ is. The rubbish on it is just as dire, only bigger.

I don’t think I can offer any help to anyone who actually feels the need for a cinema in their home.;)

Going down from a 42 incher to a “Normal” telly? I’ve tried. It was like looking at my watch.
16″ TV will be way too small for that room. I’ll be sat 9 feet away. Also, the sound off these small tellies sounds like a rip-rap in a tin in a dustbin.But, back to the Q, are the built-ins any good?
My Grandson has one in his room ..and he’s never had any problems that i know of

Personally, I think he just wants us all to know that he’s having a conservatory done. :p

You want a 32″ TV as your second TV?!:eek: A 16″ HD from Argos will only set you back £100 and you’ll be able to watch as much “rubbish” as you like.;)
