+ Very stylish television, and not too large, some 19" tvs have rather large surrounds, but this is quite compact.
Picture quality is superb, I never expect too much these days, but I am very impressed with this product. It has a built in freeview system and is also HD ready, although I'm not able to view any programmes with HD content at present. Remote is very easy to use and the sound is also extremely good as well.

+ Incredibly good value for money

- Remote control poorly designed, would be better if channel up/down & volume buttons were bigger as they are really tiny, much smaller than all the other buttons and finding them in the dark can be a bit of a problem!

+ As we have only had the television for a short space of time, it is difficult to judge the overall long term usage. However, upto now, we find it a very good little portable and suitable for the kitchen.

Keith, Lancashire

+ A small neat widescreen tv, with inbuilt freeview and HD ready. Ideal as a bedroom or kitchen tv, especialy as analogue is to be switched off in the next year or so. With this tv you dont have to mess about with set top boxes etc. In my opinion a good value for money tv

- No real bad points, except maybe the menu layout could be better explained in the manual

Anonymous verified purchaser , “I have curly hair.”

+ Stylish looks, easy to install, good picture quality and value for money.

- Haven't found now and next feature on freeview (not read instructions though). Isn't enough range in the lower volume levels, it's either too quiet or slightly too loud.

Kerry, Exeter , “Retired IT technician”

+ I am surprised how good this budget priced TV is. I bought it to replace a 15” for our Kitchen/ Dining area and find that we don’t need to go and watch our other TV the living area, as much as before, as the quality of the Orion is so good.

- The original stand does not allow tilt ~ but that is the only minor problem

John, Teddington , “I'm 82 ”

+ The remote control is simple.
the picture holds steady and with no 'poor signal' messages

- the set takes a little time to warm up and the set does not respond to a 'channel button' until it has completed loading the last channel to which you happened to be tuned. On the whole a quite satisfactory purchase at a reasonable price.

Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second.

Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.

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	1
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.

Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
