It's not often we talk up something as pricey as a telly for being a credit crunch beater. But that's exactly what the Hanspree HT09 is. Packing full HD, this 28in LCD TV comes in at a penny under £280. Now that's the kind of bargain we need now that buying food is starting to become an issue.
As well as 1080p, you get plenty of ports for connecting all the other toys kicking about in your front room. There's two HDMI inputs, two Scarts, on top of composite, component and VGA for hooking up your PC.
The design is nice and neat too, so you won't be left wanting in the trendy stakes in spite of the Lidl–esque price. And let's face it, once you've bought this and set it up, you don't need to go out and spend cash again. Just settle down to a few BBC repeats and a spot of Family Guy and go outside once the credit crunch calms down.
