Chris, Welwyn Garden City Multi-purpose viewer
- Good points:
- The product met my wife's desire to reduce the number of 'boxes' (satellite receiver, games consoles and controllers, dvd player) and cables on display! Most of the equipment is hidden away in a cupboard on the other side of the room to the LCD. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the remote also controlled my Sky+ which means I now only need one remote. Interestingly I found the best picture was with all enhancements (including Motion Flow) turned off!
- Bad points:
- No 1080p50 or 1080p24 support via the wireless connection, so my PS3 had to be connected to the LCD's 'Monitor' port as I use it for watching Blu-ray discs. In addition occasionally I don't get a wireless connection. The backlighting is also a little uneven. All in all only moinor quibbles for the convenience it offers!
