FREDA, CUMBRIA

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: THERE IS NOTHING I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS TV THAT IS NEGATIVE. IT WAS SO EASY TO INSTALL AND SET UP (IF I CAN DO IT ANYBODY CAN) AND THE SOUND IS FANTASTIC FROM THE INVISIBLE SPEAKERS. EVERYONE HAS COMMENTED ON THE PRICE AS IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE PRODUCT. EXCELLENT CHOICE OF VIEWING.

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.
3D	No

HD TV	HD ready
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing. HD Ready TVs must have • Minimum resolution of 720 horizontal lines (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.

Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.
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.

Number of HDMI ports	3
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 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.
Connections	HDMI

This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV.

Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
