Allan, Crowle, North Lincolnshire

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Dseign / styling, Freeview tuner, functionality, picture quality, value for money.
Bad points:: Standby function has an annoying tendancy to sort of freeze. Not a huge problem, but simply means that it has to be turned on using the remote control. TV buttons are rendered useless, must be the remote control to reset. My daughter has a 17" version of this TV and has exactly the same problem. Small thing and no big problem (so long as you have the remote control at hand).

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Easy to install and use. Split screen function very handy. Excellent value for money.
Bad points:: Nothing really, although, slider on side of remote can be easily knocked away from "TV" to VCR or DVD, which results in remote being unresponsive.

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: good picture, easy to use and set up, nicely designed, good well made digital television
Bad points:: signal drops out every so often. quality of the analogue tuner isn't very good, not much point in it actually being there as the signal is so bad. Every so often the set freezes forcing you to switch off and switch back on,

Number of scart ports	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.
