UMC 21.6 HD Ready Reviews: 21" Screen LCD Full HD 1080p TV

+ Has moments where it is very obviously just a monitor but is perfectly servicable as a tv and full hd for the price is amazing.

- Can't handle bass and some frequencies well.

+ Nice size, good quality for the price.

- None YET

+ We bought this TV for the bedroom and are really pleased. We wall mounted it with the appropriate 'Tilted TV Bracket' and the picture is still good from lying in bed. It was simple to tune in as it is automatic and tuned into Sky with the skart lead very easily. Like any remote control you need to get used to it. Sleep mode button easy to locate, I use it most nights. Excellent buy for the money.

- We have not found any bad points.

+ Exactly how it was described. Really like the black shiny surround.

- none

+ great size, sharp picture, great sound. excellent value for money.

- aireal cable socket is at the side so the wire is seen sticking out. thats about it.

+ Fab for games, as good as some of the much more expensive models

+ sound and picture quality are excellent.
Also I havn't seen another tv that is full HD for so cheap

- aerial not included, only a lead to connect to a wall socket (which I don't have)

- none

+ Quality of picture and sound very good.
Fast response to the controls.
Easy set up and tuning.
Lightweight and neat design.
Overall good value for money.

- No significant bad points.

+ Exellent Picture, Great sound, Light weight, Great finish.

- sound dies for a second or two after each channel change. Channel changes are slow. Non tilting base and cables visible as scart and aerial sockets are on the side.

+ for the price it is a fab piece of equipment

- there are,nt any!!

+ great design,modern look,great prize

- none

+ An ok purchase, a fairly good image (this depends tho), sound is good. works with my laptop which is a great perk, controls are fairly easy. Good enough TV for my bedroom. it was one of the best priced on the market when i was looking for a new tv

- this tv does not work with an external antenna, cant even get analogue which i did get with my older tv, until i get my internal antenna sorted i wont be able to say how good the tv picture is. I should point out that although the picture is good with DVD's, my VCR (yes i still have one of those!) and my laptop, the picture is really quite poor with my Wii. The tv cant seem to handle anything with much colour or detail to it. the little detail of the branding makes the TV look cheap but its only in my bedroom so it doesnt really matter. i wouldnt recommend this for a living room, a large room or if you are looking for something flashy. but it does do its job.

+ price

- cheap feel

+ Full HD at a fantastic price

- None

+ easy to set up and great picture good value for money

- Reviewer left no comment

+ excellent picture , good sound quality , easy to use on screen menu

- scart positioned in difficult position on side. On screen menu very small to see from a distance

+ Ideal for a bedroom or dining room, especially for gaming. Compact and neat fits well with wall brackets, either extending arm type or static. So good I bought two tvs

- Won't work with Sky tv remote (i.e one for all) as their is no compatible code as yet, until Sky bring out another version of their remote.

+ Great panel, bright and makes a great PC monitor. Video from input sources is available on the scart too - so 576i on the hdmi connector gets converted to composite video and audio. As does freeview so can be used with a DVD recorder or PC capture card :o)

- Sound is a bit tinny and you can hear the cabinet a little, and the speakers face down so you are pretty much listening to reflections, but you can use the scart audio out to hook up to an external amp and speakers.

+ `I like the width of the screen and the gloss colour.

- `None.

+ ive seen much more expensive TV`s with less features.
FULL HD is great although not really needed on a tv this size.

- only bad point would be the Front Led which looks like it should be a button,and the Led is very small inside the circular button.

+ Neat, tidy and compact

- program guide continually flashes on screen for current channel being watched instead of when a new programme starts.
On screen message boxes and text too small.
Some functions not easily accessed - like sleep timer for example

+ Bought for son's bedroom so is ideal size. Works great with the playstation and it also has an on/off switch at back so you do't have to keep it on stand-by.

- None found so far.

+ Great picture,easy set up and a good all round TV

- A tilted stand would have made things easier and it DOESNT have any audio ports ! My poor grandson has to play games in silence..........second thought ..perhaps a GOOD thing!

+ Very good value for money. Great looking and good pictures.

- None really.

+ We find the TV very usefull as a second bedroom one also it is very good as a computer screen. We now have more room with only one screen instead of two...

- None

- Reviewer left no comment

+ the price was excellent and design great

- none

+ fantastic value for money excelent picture

- on screen display to small to see, channels take a long time to change

+ Slime line. Quailty picture

- Stand could be of a bettter quailty

+ An excellent TV for the money. Maybe not quite as good to look at or listen to as ones costing two to five times as much, but perfectly acceptable for normal use.

- Screen angle not adjustable.
Sockets for accessories all at rear (on the side or under a flap on the front would be easier to get to).

+ The picture quality is great even though i have not used HD yet. All the connections I need for my Freesat and games. Excellent value for money.

- None

+ excellent value,great picture,superb second monitor.

- none at this price

+ A full 1080P for very little money, easy to set up and with a good range of input socket types, can be used a high res computer or games console monitor. A brilliant bit of kit.

- None so far.

+ good value HD and freeview

- no headphone socket for silent listening.

+ easy to set up, perfect in bedroom

- haven't found any yet

+ Very quality screen and full HD is rarely seen in sets this size. Also very practical as it has a VGA slot and therefore it can be used as a monitor

- None

+ Good picture. Auto setup is a breeze. Very good value for money.

- No audio outputs.

+ Great looking. FULL HD. Great value for money

- NONE whatso ever.

+ Smart, modern looking tv. Excellent picture quality when viewed from front or near full front angle. Overall, cannot really fault it for the price.

- Viewing angle somewhat restricted . Even from standby mode, it has to be 'turned on' first with the remote control rather than just selecting channel number and takes a few seconds to respond (just a bit irritating). Teletext response not the fastest although I have an expensive Panasonic LCD that is probably worse.

+ Great value, really nice piece of kit. This is the third one I have bought for my family.

- I use my tv/ computer screen in my bedroom, and most of the leads are on the wrong side, so they stretch over to the opposite side

+ Very easy to set up, I managed it on my own in about 10 minutes!
Buttons on top so children can't reach.
Good picture and sound quality.

- Can't think of any at the moment (we've had it about 3 weeks).

+ Good sound for smaller TV and great picture full1080p crystal sharp and good colours. Very pleased overall.
Vesa mountable 75mm makes it easy to get a wall bracket and stand can be removed. Looks good in piano black. Would recommend, this TV.

- 2 minor points. Remote needs to be aimed directly at TV and positive press on buttons, does not respond to quick press in the general direction of TV as on my other remotes. Also when setting up the TV, the writing on screen menu is on small side, OK if near TV, but not if sat back at other end of bed.

+ Good Freeview picture. Full HD (1920x1080) panel. Excellent value for money.

- Power switch is at the back, which is not a big deal, but odd to see on a TV. Auto detect of new Freeview channels would have been nice to have. On screen menus are a little small. These are what I consider minor points however.

+ 1080P Resolution

- Weak tuner (needs a particularly strong signal to stop picture breakup). Vertical arrangement & orientation of connections is terrible, whoever makes this tv should think where the leads are going to point when connected, tvs with horizontal arrg't along the bottom work out much better, also the whole connection panel feels insecurely mounted.

+ size

- none

+ Easy set up and operation.

- 'Hidden on/off switch.

+ GOOD PICTURE , GOOD VALUE.

- nil

+ excellent value for money

- none

+ For the money i thought it was an excellent tv. The picture seems good to me and sound is ok for what you would need a 22 inch tv for.
I have mine in the kitchen on wall and it looks good. The veiwing angle looking up at it from a chair goes a bit dark but i got round that by angling the tv down a little on bracket.

- For the price i think its great, no problems. Not an expert on tvs and i am sure that a more pricely tv would look and sound better but i wouldnt pay more for a tv for a bedroom or kitchen

+ brilliant picture, great for gaming, good size for bedroom, expensive looking tv

- tilts forwards slightly and can't be altered

+ Looks attractive, good value, nice stand very modern

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Good connectabilty, Good as a monitor, Simple to use

- Sound isnt the best but more than good enough for normal use, stand is not

+ Beautiful picture with full hd for a good price

- could not get stand to swivel backward/forwards without excesive force.

+ A fantastic TV for the price. Perfect for my small living room. Great picture and sound, I like the different picture and sound settings. Really easy to install and set up too.

- No headphone socket... not a major problem for me but it might be for others.
