I bought a Cello TV

I bought a Cello TV. Made in Britain, tick. Made in the town in which I was born, tick. Ease of set up, tick. Picture quality, tick. Sound quality, truly awful. I’ve not heard sound that bad since I was listening to Radio Caroline, under the covers in the 1960’s. Come clean, if it ain’t worth buying without a sound bar, just say, and give us the choice. Very, very disappointed.

My 19inch Cello is OK as a kitchen TV

I bought the 19inch Cello for my kitchen. I was pleased with how easy it was to set up, the picture is good, and the sound quality is good enough for a kitchen TV, but it cannot be viewed from the side. From about 45 degrees the picture becomes like a photo negative. My other TVs, a large Sony in the lounge and a 21 inch Logik in the bedroom can be viewed well from a shallow angle from the side, so I can only assume this is an issue with the Cello TV screen. Its not a big problem for a small kitchen TV that is just playing in the background as we are busy, but it would not be acceptable for the large TV in our lounge where we sit and view for longer periods from chairs around the room at various different angles.

Nice TV .very bad sound .

My Cello tv is a great picture and easy to tune. However the sound is totally crap. The speakers they are putting into their televisions must cost about 10 pence each. There is no quality of sound whatsoever. I am going to have to buy a Cello soundbar just so that we can hear what the voices of the newsreaders are talking about. No exaggeration. The sound is shocking

Wish I had never purchased this TV.

Purchased ZG0242 Android tv through Amazon in March 2021. I have to say what a disappointing experience we have had with this TV. It freezes loses sound then just switches off of its own accord. If you don’t touch anything for about ten minutes it’s usually ok but as we have this in the bedroom we have usually given up by this time and switched it off. For a modern tv with today’s technology it’s useless. Wish I could return it but we didn’t keep the box so think it will be an expensive loft addition when we buy a reliable tv. Cello I am very disappointed in a British Company and guess I will buy Japanese next time as the Sony Android tv never lets us down.

Hi Ian, a C2420FS is a mains TV. C2420FS12volt is the Traveller version. I'm afraid we are not Electric Mania on eBay so unfortunately can not help with your situation.
The C2420FS can be both 240volt or 12 volt, it is up to the seller whether they would like to add a 12 volt cable or leave it as a TV for the home.
Apologies that you have experience a problem, can you please get in touch with Electric Mania on Ebay to help solve your issue. Thanks

Cello after sales are one of the most…

Cello after sales are one of the most helpful firms I have felt with. I messaged them with a problem I had with remote control operating my tv & sound bar together. They came back to straight away & said what the problem was I had the wrong remote control. With out me even asking they sent me the correct remote control F.O.C. Witch I received Wednesday morning & it worked perfectly. I would highly recommend Cello for their products & after service.

TV's made in the UK and by real people with quality as a byword... super!
I needed a portable outdoor TV option for an outdoor exhibition and the Cello TV worked absolutely superbly.
Can't fault the product and, due to shipping issues, the mains plug was broken on reciept, the super fast and super efficient team at Cello dispatched a replacement FOC to my location and was received next working day, what service!!
Don't hesitate, the product is fantastic and so is the back up/support.

Bought a 19" Cello set for the kitchen... What a mistake

Bought a 19" Cello set for the kitchen.
Switched on only to find that the screen had masses of vertical 'scrambled-like' lines in it. Couldn't even tune it in, not watchable.

Received a replacement only to be massively disappointed by the quality.

The picture is very washed out and no matter how much adjustment one makes to the levels, is just not comfortable viewing.

But that's nothing compared to the appalling sound quality. Seriously, this is the worst sounding television I've had since the early 1980s. There's a constant background 'wooshing' and lack of any tonal depth. It's almost as if there's a plastic funnel instead of a speaker fitted.

Overall, I'm extremely disappointed with our first (and likely to be last) purchase from them.

A sorry advert for British industry and enterprise.

Hi Leon, I'm sorry to see that you are not happy with your product, I understand your first TV was damaged by the courier, which is out of our control unfortunately. Have you spoke to our customer service team in relation to the replacement model? Our TVs go through many quality checks to ensure a fantastic British product and to have an unhappy customer is not something we like to see! I will look into your case further.
Thank you for your feedback.

I needed help to restore my TV channels

I lost the channels on my Cello C2220S. I called Amazon who really didn't know how to help but said they would contact Cello. I found the UK support number, called and spoke to Jane. She was very knowledgeable and helpful.

She talked me through what i needed to do and had my issue resolved in less than 10 minutes.
