JVC LT-26DE9

I bought this product for my 92 year old mother. Having a built-in hard drive makes this TV ideal. It gets rid of digi-boxes and video recorders. She now only has one remote handset. She quickly learnt how to change programmes and set it up to record. Simplicity itself! And the slim design makes it perfect for her flat.

I set it up in a different region before taking it to my mother's. It didn't work in her location. Nowhere did the handbook say you had to reset the machine. Once I'd worked it out, setting up was quite straightforward.

being able to record 2 programmes at once and watch a recorded programme at the same time

no bad points at present

Great build quality, pleasing design, compared to 3 other LCD TV's picture quality is very good. Easy to use with good range of features such as ability to record programmes

A lot of cheaper alternatives if you dont need hard drive for recording, apart from that hard to fault. You get what you pay for!

With the 160 Gb hard drive and easy recording set-up via the EPG, I have found this television ticks all the right boxes. Excellent picture quality, good sound and a remote control which has brilliant facilities, this television is worth the little extra cost. Automatic 'set up' was easy, the ability to 'skip' through the adverts when playing back a recording is brilliant, series recording of favourite programmes is a boon. Power consumption in stand-by mode is less than 1 watt.

Not that much of a bad point, but the 'software' takes about 5 to 10 seconds to load when first switching on the TV.

easy to install and use ,looks very classy.
