Pete, Barnsley

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Very good TV Easy to set up as all you do is plug it in and away it goes, found all the freeview channels and my SKY. We bought this for the kitchen so it is only used occasionally. The only niggle I have is the sound quality, it's a little tinny, (and you get used to it after a while) apart from that I would recomend it.
