Sandra, London Film and documentary lover

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Excellent picture and quality - brilliant features!
Bad points:: I am a university allied medical student and I am dyslexic so I find it easier to read Printed instructions rather than those on a screen - for example each time I totally changed paragraphs or introduced new medical arguments etc I would print my that page and read it. I can imaging that are many people out there like myself please bear this in mind - a manual paper manual would have been far better as there are many many options and features.

Andy, Bath Multi-purpose viewer

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Intuitive to use. Although there are several standard set-ups for different types of viewing (e.g. sport, cinema) each one is customisable so you can make adjustments to suit your eyes and ears. I was very pleasantly surprised by the Freeview HD picture. Pity there are only four channels so far. For 'normal' TV the quality is perfectly acceptable. Sound is good, on a par with my old CRT TV.

I plugged my laptop in and used it with Excel, absolutely great to be able to see so many columns and rows at once!
Bad points:: Every once in a while, on changing channel, the TV software decides to stop working. It still responds to the remote so will turn on and off but the power switch on the TV has toi be turned off and back on again to reboot.

The viewing angle is not as good as some other manufacturers but I preferred the colours. I didn't realise that the stand didn't change angle until I put it together - I tend to vary where I view from quite a lot so was expecting to just be able to turn it easily to suit.

Product Features

Screen size (Inches)	32
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Type of screen	LED
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.
3D	No

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 resolution of 720 horizontal lines (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	No Disc Player
Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.
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. 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.
Number of HDMI ports	4
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 ports	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.
Connections	Ethernet

Connections	HDMI

Smart TV	Yes
TVs with internet capability allow you access to a range of online services.
Frequency (Hz)	100
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.
Type of LED screen	Edge-lit
LED-backlit screens can either be ‘edge-lit’ or ‘local dimming’. Local dimming means that diodes in different areas of the screen can be independently switched on and off, allowing better contrast and black levels. Edge-lit screens lack the deep blacks and extreme contrast of local dimming, but can be even thinner.
Screen aspect ratio	16:09
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.
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	1000000
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	178
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.
Horizontal resolution (Pixels)	192

Vertical resolution (Pixels)	1080

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.
Headphone Socket	Yes
Weight (kg)	10.7

Release date	2010/03/15
The date the product was originally made available for purchase.
