Customer Reviews

A great TV, especially for gaming.
As i write this I am getting a little confused by the lower scores that have been given for this set as the Freeview features are as good as any set top box. The other problem encountered by other reviewers is a poor picture quality however, without a HD source (this is a HDTV after all), the picture will be no better than a CRT screen.

I got this TV for christmas for use with my Playstation 3 and it is fantastic. The TV supports 720p and 1080i, however 720p is better for moving images so I use that instead. The picture clarity is amazing and the simulated SRS surround sound is amazing (again, looking at the other negative reviews i don't understand how they were getting "tinny" sounds when it plays through dual digital sound channels).

The TV comes with both Component HD connectors or HDMI so i opted to buy the Lynx gold plated uber-cable that Amazon sells and the picture is flawless when plugged into a HD source like a games console. If you have an XBox 360 then you will need components (the Elite supports HDMI).

A quick note about HDTVs if you are looking for one: In order to view High definition, you MUST HAVE A HD SOURCE, your normal TV signal is still regular old Analogue or Digital Freeview so the TV will show it that way. Sky offers a HD service but i have no idea how good it is. Games consoles are the bees knees though so if you are looking for a cheap yet good HD screen, this is the one for you.

5/5

Stylish, good quality and easy to use
I was after a nice LCD TV for the bedroom which wasn't black, that was quite good and didn't cost me a fortune... Well I found it!
Very stylish, it looks great but it does the job well too. Extremely easy to set-up, it's all automatic and you just need to press the Ok button few times, great picture and quite good sound too really. Also, menu are quite intuitive at least compared to other brands... which is a plus! Freeview is as good as with a set-top box and connectivity is very good. I've got to try it with my Xbox... :)
So overall extremely pleased especially if you think about the price is currently on sale for! Very good value for the money spent. Oh, delivery from Amazon was fast as usual and without problem.

Simple to set up and great picture
The channel setup was easy and automatic and after a quick and painless adjustment from the factory default picture settings the picture is excellent. Freeview channel switching is as fast as analogue for me and the text is faster than on my other digital sets (Sony and Philips).
