Grundig Gudvd 1 ND

Advantages: Price - Picture Quality - Functions
Disadvantages: Sound

.... The problem was choice - tons of it. Then one day, I popped into Argos, and noticed a Sale catalogue - you know the ones, about a 10 page booklet for their Sale items. I noticed that they were selling this screen, at the reduced price of £999.00 - from the previous £1,500 that it was retailing for. I went home, and decided to do a little research. Yeah the price was good, but if the quality was poor, then what would be the point. I checked out the Grundig website, and checked out the technical information on the screen. For those who are interested, then I have listed the technical information here for you ( Please dont flame my review, some people are genuinely interested in having such information - and yes I have taken this directly from the grundig website ) This screen is actually called a Grundig Apollo 42" Plasma Plasma TV in 16...

Advantages: Full Home Cinema kit with a large subwoofer
Disadvantages: Compatability is a question and takes some time to set up

The retail price at the time of buying was £299.99 and considering what's in the package, this is a very good bargain. The Grundig GDV520 is a DVD player, similar to the other Grundig models.

Advantages: .
Disadvantages: No back up support. Poor customer relations

...I would not touch anything distributed by Grundig Australia again, our 42" plasma has spent over 4 months in the repair shop this year alone and it is only the beginning of October. They will not return telephone calls, they keep sending broken parts to their authorised repairer and then expect us to wait while they sort out their internal issues. The service shop advises they had no end to their problems with dealing with Grundig. We have an an home service warranty but still have to take and pick up our item. We continually have to ring and chase for any response. We've been promised a quick turnaround but to date have waited 8 weeks without contact. If you want reliability and customer support, I cannot suggest strongly enough you give Grundig a wide berth... Read review
