Mike, Buckie, Scotland Multi-purpose viewer
- Good points:
- I enjoy the picture quality. For a television at this price, I find it has very good picture.
- Bad points:
- I bought the television because of the wi-fi connectivity. I have never used this function yet, since the description of the television didn't mention the fact I require a separate dongle.
