I purchased this television because all the DVDs that I had only functioned properly on Widescreen. I have to admit that it tool me a good hour to read through the manual and yes, I am glad that I had it installed rather than trying to work out which way to open the box myself.
There are many different settings which, if you are not careful can weigh you down. The picture can be stretched in all sorts of directions and just about every possible size is catered for.
One downfall that I have found, and still have not yet cured is I have been unable to run the tv through the HIFI other than when I am playing a video or DVD. There appears to be instructions in the manual for this but the necessary sockets are not there. Perhaps the manual caters for more than one model. Nevertheless the sound quality and picture quality are very good.
I also bought this TV because it had On Digital installed and it came free from the manufacturer with a number of channel options. BE WARNED, despite me calling On Digital and them checking the reception in my area it does not work and I have had an aerial engineer look at it but he was not prepared to take my money from something that he did not think would work.
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
Advantages: Cheap, digital compatible, no need for external boxes Disadvantages: Takes a while to work out the remote unless you have a child handy in which case they have it mastered in five minutes
