Supermarket chain Asda has announced plans to offer an HD-ready television set for just £50 from next week, while research suggests that Microsoft's Xbox 360 will be the top selling console this Christmas.
Asda, owned by US retail giant WalMart, will stock the Venturer 15.6-inch LED HD-ready TV from Boxing Day in store and online.
Priced at £50, the widescreen Venturer is a 720p set, meaning it is not Full HD at 1080p. Asda feels the product will suit customers looking for a second HD set to stop arguments over what to watch on TV this Christmas.
"This is an astonishing deal and we're delighted to be able to bring HD-ready TV to our customers at such an amazing price," said Michael Arnott, the HD TV buyer at Asda.
"We're also glad to be doing our bit to support domestic harmony this Christmas."
