Tony, Essex Multi-purpose viewer

Score 5.0/10

Good points:: Excellent build quality and image is also very good indeed.
Bad points:: I had to send this tv back because the sound was so poor. I found the sound resonated inside the cabinet making certain frequencies dominate. This is so bad it actually makes a lot of speech unclear. The sound clearly was not a priority in this design which is a real shame because the rest of the tv is very good indeed.

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.

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 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. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service.

Number of HDMI ports	4
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.

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