Alba currently make some of the best televisons at low cost prices, You will find a range of Alba televisions available at Argos.

We have received many emails complaining about the quality of Alba products over the years. It seems they breakdown frequently and many of the buyers wish they spent a little more money to buy a product which lasted. Having tested Alba products we generally agree they should be avoided if at all possible, many more reliable brands such as Sony, JVC and Panasonic make low cost models which are not far off the Alba price range.

I got myself a real bargain at Argos and delivery was next day as well. It's an Alba dvd player and was only £48.75. It includes features such as Ultra slimline, DVD/CD compatible, Zoom feature, On screen display, Multi angle selection, Dolby digital sound, SCART socket, 2 channel sound output, Full function remote control and the Size (W)42, (H)5, (D)21cm. My friend has a Panasonic dvd player which cost twice as much as this Alba one and I can't say the quality is any better or the features included. I found the Argos payment system easy to use and buy from and the delivery was next day and came when it was supposed too. One happy customer.

Don't buy the Alba DVD 70 player or the 165 DVD player. I bought two of the 165 players just under a year ago; one as a present for a friend and one for myself, they both broke down within a year, with the same fault! I stupidly bought an Alba 70 DVD player and that only lasted less than a MONTH! So, if you want a decent DVD player, don't buy Alba, they are C**p!

I can't even give Alba the lowest mark available as they are not worthy of it!
