Confirmed purchaser Multi-purpose viewer

Score 3.0/10

Good points:: Good price. Good specification. Looks good.
Bad points:: Difficult to set up compared with other sets. You have to manually re-gig channels after scanning.
PC input does not work satisfactorily with a modern Sony laptop, and no software drivers available.
Instructions very poor and not very detailed.
Conncections feel cheap and the unit clicks when powering up as the components appear to expand.
My set was faulty on delivery, and I am still without a properly working set two months after having paid for it.

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.

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

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