Appalling sound quality. Also, there appears to be very little difference in volume whether the setting is at volume scale 1 or 51 etc.

Liked the modern slimline design. Very neat & tidy looking. Really liked the built in DVD player (no additional bulky DVD boxes to find extra shelf space for - TV's operation is fairly easy to use.
-
We bought the TV for our spare room (7' x 9') - and it is fine for that purpose. However I would imagine in a larger room the sound and picture quality may need sharpening up a little.

The sound quality is terrible. It sounds really tinny and echos a lot. Not a good choice for my teenager as I keep having to tell him to turn it down as it sounds so awful. Esp bad when he's playing on his xbox. Needs upgraded speakers.

Freeview didn't pick up a lot of channels, including terrestrial channels. TV froze when attempting to alter the volume or change the channel. Almost impossible to use this product due to the TV freezing when any buttons on the remote were pressed. Small green dot permanently in the centre of the screen. Volume level 1 was very loud and the sound became more nd more distorted as the volume was increased. I have returned this product for a full refund.

Screen Size in Inches

|
22
|
|
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
|
Type of Screen

|
LCD
|
|
Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
|
HD TV

|
HD Ready
|
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing. HD Ready TVs must have
• Minimum vertical resolution of 750 pixels (in widescreen format)
• Ability to display 720p and 1080i formats
• An HDMI or Digital Video Interface (DVI interface)
Full HD is a higher standard. Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second.
Full HD is becoming common, but you won’t see Full HD on normal TV channels for a long time, so it remains optional for many people.
|
Built-in Disc Player

|
DVD Player
|
|
Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.
|
HDMI Interface

|
2
|
|
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
|
Number of Scart Interfaces

|
1
|
|
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.
|
Frequency (Hz)

|
50
|
|
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.
|
Contrast Ratio (X:1)

|
1000
|
|
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
|
Screen Resolution (pixels)

|
768p
|
|
The number of pixels the screen has. The more you have, the more detail the screen can display, given a high quality source.
A breakdown of resolutions can be found on Wikipedia here
|
Screen Format

|
16:9
|
|
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
|
Brightness in Candela per square metre

|
300
|
|
Brighter TVs, such as LCDs, tend to provide a better experience in lighter rooms, whereas TVs with a lower brightness, such as many plasma TVs, are often better suited to darker rooms.
|
PC Interface

|
Yes
|
|
If you’d like to use your TV as a PC monitor you’ll need to make sure it has a port to allow you to connect it. This is usually a VGA port, but some TVs include a newer DVI port. Adaptors are availible to allow VGA to DVI and vice versa.
|
USB Port

|
No
|
|
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
|
Electronic Program Guide (EPG)

|
Yes
|
|
TVs with this feature have an on-screen guide to all the programmes that are currently showing or coming up, so you can find your way around all the extra digital channels easily.
|
Picture in Picture (PIP)

|
No
|
|
TVs with this feature are able to display a preview of another channel while you are watching your current channel.
|
Energy Savings Trust Feature

|
No
|
|
A Yes means this this product has been rated as being energy-efficient by the Energy Savings Trust. Good for the environment and good for your electricity bill!
|
Freeview

|
Yes
|
|
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. Many newer TVs have Freeview built in. For other TVs you will need a separate Freeview set-top box.
|
FreeSat Tuner

|
No
|
|
FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service. The main benefit is that you can get HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You’ll need a dish to recieve the signals though.
