Clive, Hayling Island , “Multi-purpose viewer”

Score 10.0/10

+ The unit is/was best available at the cost. Absolutely superb picture quality.

- The accessibility of the menu for input changing is/can be awkward in as much as the software times out if you are not quick enough, If the unit is not sat level then a very loud hum will result until it is levelled.
