Has frozen a couple of times needing a mains disconnect before working again, normal tv picture bad - almost VHS quality, not enough bass in sound, freeview menus very slow. Blacks are a bit grey.

Looks good. Great sound when using surround option. Very good price at the time. Works great when hooked up to a Sharp blu ray player with Aquos.

Quality from scart sockets poor. A lot better with HDMI or component inputs. A bit of shadowing with blacks but that is a common LCD problem rather than this model of TV

Hate the wobbly and shaky picture effect when subjects move background too blurry. Hate the stand far too complicated to assemble and instructions very poor.No freeview on tv as promised in the shop. This was one of the reasons we purchased the item.

|
46
|
|
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

|
Full HD 1080p
|
‘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.

|
No
|
|
Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.
|
HDMI Interface

|
3
|

|
Number of Scart Interfaces

|
2
|
|
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)

|
10000
|
|
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)

|
1080p
|
|
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

176

|

|
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

|
450
|
|
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.
|

|
Yes
|
|
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
