+ price and value for money

- needs to be switched off fully i.e removing plug, also when on stand by light that remains on the front of the t.v is very bright (obviously a feature to remind you to turn off fully)

+ Arrived quickly.

- Annoying large bright blue standby light. Not very responsive remote. Would get confused if you pressed to quickly and then freeze! Not easy to install programmes with just an indoor aerial even with booster. Didn't pick up digital at all mainly radio channels, only analogue and quality of picture not great. EPG only showed 2 programmes at a time, really annoying if you want to plan your evening viewing.

Norma, Nottingham , “don't suffer fools gladly”

+ Nice design and very easy installation. TV reception is not very good in my area-we don't go digital until 2011!!!!. Bought a signal booster and that has improved overall reception and quality of picture.

- Only one bad point. The standby light is very bright and very blue. I bought this TV for my bedroom and find that I can't just use the remote to turn it off - I have to switch it off at the mains.I know safety wise that this is a good thing but it is annoying when you are cosy and have to get up to turn the power off. Otherwise I think that this is an excellent set.

peter, christchurch , “practical, logical , humorous”

+ excellent picture and sound and sleek black finish

- in the off mode the blue light comes on which is so bright we have to keep getting up and turning the tv off at the mains to stop floodlighting the bedroom and does become a bit of a pain, also have put on a shelf and will not tilt forward enough to enable perfect picture and lastly tho only trivial when you change channels the words indicating what side you are on and telling what programme is on is far too small

+ Good picture and sound quality for a television/dvd player at this price. Easy initial set up and operation.

- Minute menu fuction display on screen making it almost impossible to operate from normal viewing distance. Always starts up in DVD mode. Frequently switches itself from TV mode to DVD on its own accord when watching TV. We have exchanged the unit once and both behave in the same manner.

+ Overall a very good purchase, very clear picture and good value for money. Sound quality is OK and does have custom settings. No issues with DVD drive to date.

- Unsure why the set was designed to run of a transformer instead of mains. The set has a blue neon on light which when on standby at night is far too bright, it does make you switch the set off.

Peter, Trowbridge , “Multi-purpose viewer” More like this »

+ Uncluttered slim design and light weight. First class DVD operation.

- Badly sighted scart socket, which at least should be the other way up to stop the weight of the lead dragging the plug out or partly out which is worse. (ok I know the scart plug is a ghastly device.) Get a lead with the flat ribbon construction. It helps.
Difficult to read remote control button labels. And OK button is sunk below the level of the surrounding arrows and therefore easy to misfire. But for the money I don't see how you could do better.

+ good picture and sound - it is also slim and the bracket to fix it to the wall is relatively cheap

- major problem - which is why i rated it so low for design - is the bright blue stand by light.
i bought it for a bedroom - it literally lights it up to such an extent that you can not only read by it, but can get no sleep!
it's good value - but do not put it in the bedroom unless you are an extremely heavy sleeper!

+ Bargain price for the features. And being able to use it as a computer screen was an added bonus.

- The viewing angle is a little limited. You really need to be sat square on in front of it to get the best picture. Would recommend a tilting wall stand.

+ very easy to set up. Good picture for the money and much better sound than many more costly TVs

- remote control is a little cluttered, but nothing to bother you at the price. This is a bargain.

+ The good points was the price at less than £150. Over all a good tv. I would recommend this tv/dvd

- The blue standby light at the front of the tv is a bit bright.

marie, moy

+ Compact.

- The picture colour is quite poor and hard to adjust. The transformer thing on the plug heats up quite a bit. The channel display and info is very hard to read unless you are standing beside the tv. There is a delay when the channels are changed, not instantly but a few seconds into the new channel. The dvd has to be removed when you want to watch tv. The menu must be referred to every time you move from digital to analong.
