Tom, Manchester

+ Great value for money. Close up to the screen the image quality is bad but as soon as you sit more than about 3ft away, on your sofa it looks perfectly good. The sound is fine and overall is just what we needed and a great affordable 32" LCD.

- None really unless you want to sit and watch tv 30cm away from the screen!

+ Excellent product for the price. Picture quality is great, Inbuilt freeview works great. The size, picture quality and looks at that price makes this a must have package for those on a budget. This was a gift to my Gf and has gotten me favours no end.

+ It looks good. I like the sound , often other tv's are way too loud even when on low volume but this one doesn't assault your ears.

- Sometimes a bit slower to change channel but I imagine that once the tv companies switch off analogue this will improve.(currently digital signal is broadcast on low power in order not to interfere with the analogue signal)

+ TV has 2 HDMI ports and also kept the D-Sub (standard VGA) which a lot of manufacturers have done away with for some reason. When I was buying the TV I was expecting to get cheap crap because of the low price but was pleasently surprised when I recieved it.

- Couldnt find any worth complaining about

+ We are generally very happy with our purchase.It looks good and the price was very good.

- occasionally we get a blue haze in some areas of the screen,we have noticed however that they are only visible when viewed from a side angle and not when viewing straight on.

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.

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)	768i
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

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
