Only small gripe being takes a second or two for screen to change when changing channels which can be annoying if you are a channel hopper like me.

There are 'sexier' telly's than this probably, but I would rather spend the money on something else.
Having said that this is not an unattractive set by any means and is frankly phenomenal value for all except the real geeks perhaps.
Prev Tosh lasted >20 years so if that's any indication this will be the bargain of the decade.
Diff brand 10-ton CRT was <7 yrs and had already packed up before it hit the crusher. Was glad to see it go. Can't believe tv's were ever like that!
-
The sound certainly benefits from amplification and prob needs it depending on the room/noise.
Have read elsewhere that if you play with the fav's list it can cause tuning problems, but that's not my experience.

Nice looking set and very easy to set up. Picture quality is very good with good contrast. If you are looking for a reasonably priced television with good build quality then this range is well worth a look. I have no regrets with the purchase.

The set has no off switch which I find incredible when we are striving for A rated appliances. Changing channels in freeview with the remote is painfully slow compared with other sets that I have. Cant say that the sound quality is very good. Seems a bit muffled.

Screen Size in Inches

|
32
|
|
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.
|
Freeview or Freesat Tuner

|
Freeview
|
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview.
For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site.
|
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)

|
20000
|
|
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.

|
176
|
|
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.
|

|
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

|
400
|
|
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.
