pippa, london , “telly addict needs ease”

+ an ideal TV for a bedroom or a small lounge, it has good sound quality for listening to music instead of a sterio and you can also listen to the radio also. It has a good tv guide for easy viewing and I am delighted with my purchase.

Andy, nr boston

+ The sound quality is very good for a 19 inch lcd of this size i was realy impressed.
The tv itself looks top noch with a polished black suround & is quite slick considering it has a built in dvd player
It has very useful amount of conectons all the hdmi slots you could wish for.
It also is HD compaterble & has a good quality freeview which is also built in.
MY VERDICT: Your getting a hell of of a lot Telly for your money here , for a bedroom or kitchen this is spot on

- The picture quality is good but dose suffer with a little noise
Also found you need to position the screen at a good viewing angle as it is a bit limited.

Mick, Gosport , “Complete tech head”

+ Sleek and unobtrusive but still "posey" enough to satisfy

- If the controls could be covered or placed on the side they would be easier to keep dust free.

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