Toshiba 32XV555DB

I hate dynamic contrast. Every time a scene changes the back light goes up or down it's horrible and most LCD TVs rely on it for the ridiculous contrast ratios the try and con folk with. Luckily you can switch it off or minimise it. Ah much better!

LG 32LG5700

If you are after that little bit more, the picture, colour, contrast, brightness is infinitely configurable but takes a bit of time to get it to your preferred setting. Normal definition is not so impressive, but once you match it up with a full HD input all is forgiven. I hate that you can't set screen setting to AUTO when using HDMI, so you have to keep changing screen definition to 16:9 and 4:3; not sure if this is a TV thing or a HDMI interface thing.

Technika LCD19-907

Hate that all the inputs on these tvs are underneath. Awkward to get at.

Samsung LE32A656A

The functionality is just great. Does everything one could wish for and with 4 HDMI sockets you can connect EVERYTHING..... I just HATE all black TV's. Everyone who has seen this has remarked on how much nicer it is with the low key ruby coloured bezel so I think most other people hate all-black things too....

Panasonic TX-26LXD8

Very easy to set up, excellent picture and sound quality, nice non shiny black casing, hate most of the tv .sets at the moment that have the piano black finish.

Samsung LE22A455C

whire surround I hate black

Samsung PS50A456

None really, I hate the wires everywhere, just wish that the stand had an enclosed bottom panel so that the wires could be hidden.

Samsung LE37A656

sound quality is poor , it could do with some wear to plug extra speakers in that work with the normal controls and not all the home theatre systems as a lot off people hate them ,ask the wife and a lot of people i talk to say there wife hare them

Philips 42PF5521

Very pleased with this tv. Although it seemed huge to start with, we would now hate going back to a smaller set. The picture is clear - it would benefit from surround sound but we do not feel this is essential.

Sony KDL40D3500

Can't stop the MUTE icon showing (so if I am listening through my surround rig I have to wind the volume all the way down not just click the MUTE button) Earth loop issues with multiple audio devices connected (easily solved- use phonos and only have the tip engaged on all but 1, Still irritating though) The cat hates it (he can't sit on top of it)

Samsung LE37R88BD

Clear picture, gives a wonderful deep effect thanks to image enhancing. Elegant looks, BLACK colour(I hated the silver fad).

Toshiba 26C3030DB

Matt screen surround. I hate these plastic reflective surrounds. Good connection ports. Excellent picture

LG 32LT75

If i want to listen to the radio, I switch it on and listen: I find the picture info and what's being listened to infuriating. The instruction manual for a 60 year old is complicated, but I can find my way round it, but I hate the interuption of a programme when it is about to record and I am watching something else. It changes to the channel being recorded. (As I said, this may be avoidable, but I have yet to find it. Overall, a product that I would recommend to anyone.

Sony KLV30HR3

People will want to steal it. Your friends will hate you. Pity it isnt HD ready.

Philips 32PFL5522D/05

I'm a technophobe. Hate anything that works by what I call 'invisible magic'. With this product I was able to set it up and have it operating with 20 minutes. What more can one ask ?

UMC 203-9138

Anoying blue light I hate it!!! The tv sometimes it freez and will not change the channels don't know why have to switch it off & on

LG 32LG5700

This is a personal bugbear - I hate the glossy 'piano black' finish. It seems to be that most TV's are made like this at the moment but I think it looks tacky and is a dust and fingerprint magnet. Shame because this takes the TV from a 10 to a 9 in my view when combined with the fiddly stand assembly.

Sony Bravia KDL-46W4000

Shows inherent flaws of 'Freeview' pictures. When starting from completely 'off' pictures takes a little time to achieve full brightness. Vivid colour can be overpowering if used to excess. Careful tweaking of brightness contrast required to prevent, 'smearing'. Your friends hate their small tellys when they've seen yours.
