Amoi Elite LC32T1E

Advantages: Contrast ratio and great stand
Disadvantages: remote control is basic looking, otherwise great

...Realy great picture quality. Equal to the 42" sony bravia my parents own. Contrast ratio is excellent! black realy is black! Speakers are good but for movies i would reccomend a surround sound system. The build quaility of the unit is excellent and the stand is very easy to fit. The stand also allows the unit to rotate to a certain angle which can be adjusted to suit where you are sitting. The bezel is narrower than it appears in the images which i prefer and with the speakers below the screen instead of left and right the tv doesnt take up too much room. Screen looks amazing conneted via hdmi to my elite xbox 360. All in all highlyreccomended. Great buy! Dont hesitate!... Read review

They will meet any pricepoint with the best possible configuration beating competitors in the same pricerange for your viewing pleasure. The DV-656a comes in fourth from the top after the Elite, 9xx- and 7xx-series. From the look of this “small” livingroom friendly animal you will not expect much. But inside it is a complete different beast. The inerts of this fine machine is completely overhauled compared... Read review

...I bought this model for my daughter for Christmas one year and she hasn't been disappointed, neither have I. The sound quality is excellent, with a lot of power behind the speakers, and because the Stereo is kept in her bedroom, she can't have it on maximum volume because the bass is so strong! It has a remote control, which doesn't come as standard with a lot of models. The CD changing is a bit slow, which is my only bugbear with it, so if you are trying to change from CD1 to another, it can take an age. Being able to change the settings from, say, disco to hall etc. is quite novel, I think. The unit itself is very attractive and not too cumbersome, but for a lot of people it may seem big compared to some of the Micro systems around. It is very easy to operate, and changing from CD to Radio is quick and easy. The CD player... Read review
