‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing.

Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV.

  aj replied on 04 May 2011
what is the best wall bracket to use?

Abigail asked on 04 May 2011
1. Hi Abigail, It depends on which type you need.
  There`s 3 types: The cheapest is Flat to Wall (just fixes the t.v to the wall like a picture frame),Tilt & Swivel (you can adjust this one a few inches up,down,left and right.
  And finally the most expensive is a Multi-Position(which has a type of arm so you can move it the same as the Tilt and Swivel but more so).
  For standard fitting on a room wall where you`re roughly facing the t.v then the Tilt & Swivel is best.
  I bought one of those from Argos for £32.99 which is for screens up to 32 inches that weigh no more than 25kg.It was easy to pop up and feels really solid.
  Hope that helps.
  Cheers, Dean

Is it easy to install . We do not really want to pay for a professional and wondered if we could do it ourselves

Jean asked on 20 May 2011

SAMEER asked on 24 May 2011
1. yes it can be wall mounted, cheap wall brackets on ebay, hope this helps.
  
  jeff replied on 24 May 2011
one review said no freeview set up..I'm not sure what this means

Denise asked on 30 May 2011
1. i don t know either. i just switched on the tv and it all automatically installed itself. i was surprised how easy it was.
  
  Helen replied on 30 May 2011
2. "Freeview" is just another way of describing channels in addition to the normal BBC1,2, ITV, etc. The freeview channels are setup at the same time as the normal channel search at installation time. Hence you don't have to do anything special or have an extra box for the freeview channels
  
  David replied on 30 May 2011
hi does it realy have built in freeview because some people say it does and other say it doesnt

jrae asked on 31 May 2011
