The tv doesnt have a point where you can swith it off at the button, you either have to switch it off at the plug or put it on standby & its a long winded process to change Av channels over.

I am highly delighted with the quality of this lcd tv the clarity of the picture is very good indeed, the black is black and not grey as it appears on many competitiors which i find very important i there is nothing more annoying than looking at what i call a milky screen !! It does occasionallly pixalate but not too often. overall i feel we got one of the better lcd tv s on the market today.

Screen Size in Inches

|
42
|
|
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.
|
Built-in Disc Player

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

|
2
|
|
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

|
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)

|
5000
|
|
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)

|
768p
|
|
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
|
|
Response Time in ms
|
5
|
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.
|
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.
|
USB Port

|
No
|
|
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
|
Electronic Program Guide (EPG)

|
No
|
|
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.
|
Picture in Picture (PIP)

|
No
|
|
TVs with this feature are able to display a preview of another channel while you are watching your current channel.
|
Energy Savings Trust Feature

|
Yes
|
|
A Yes means this this product has been rated as being energy-efficient by the Energy Savings Trust. Good for the environment and good for your electricity bill!

|
FreeSat Tuner

|

|
|
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.
