Kerry, London , “Film and documentary lover” More like this »

Score 3.0/10

+ Not really any good points

- Theres a light at the bottom of the TV that indicates if the TV is on or not, it is so bright that it distracts you when you are watching it. The picture quality is poor and the sound is not very good, the lowest level of sound is still very loud.

+ It is good value for the screen size and simple to install and use.

- Sound quality could be a bit better but this would probably put the price up.

+ Most things except as mentioned below

- Impossible to get it to broadcast the digital radio stations, even though it had put them on the channels list. Radio on this TV is as important to me as vision.

Ian, Bristol , “Occasional TV watcher” More like this »

Score 8.0/10

+ Picture quality is good for the size of screen. I didn't expect the freeview channels so that was a major bonus. Very easy to get started as it did it all by itself.

- Remote is a bit thin and fiddly. Some of the functionality could be a bit easier when searching the channel menu. That said my 5 year old has worked it out so it can't bee too ddifficult.

Product Features

Screen Size in Inches	19
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.
Freeview or Freesat Tuner	Freeview
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site.
HDMI Interface	1
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.
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	800
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.
Reflection Angle	170
Also known as the viewing angle, it’s a measure of how good the picture looks when you are not face on to the screen. Higher is better.
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.
