Can`t answer , I`m afraid, but the Tesco website has a warning about a potential serious fault on the Wharfedale 28" widescreeeeen. May be worth a look and then HAGGLE on price ;-)

It`s the later model that needs the fix (the 890) the 850 is ok. See the numbers on the back of the set for model no. I`ve got an 850, I think it`s a Mitsubishi tube. I`d definately get one for £175.

I too have a CTV-850 which is the only widescreen model released by Wharfedale not to have any technical faults or issues.
For me it performs like a dream and it compares well to a number of more expensive tv`s I`ve seen in mates` houses. For the money you`re talking about you can`t go wrong.
There is a supposed issue over the sub-standard tuner - but, call me blind, I never noticed a problem while I was receiving an analogue signal. Now that I`m on digital it`s not an issue at all.
I`ve got it hooked up to a (fully functional !) Wharfedale M5 dvd player and Wharfedale VCR -950 6-head video recorder - which together only come to 550 quid at rrp - excellent value for money in anyone`s book.
