Grundig GR 1000

Advantages: Space saving and very convenient
Disadvantages: Standard cheap picture quality sluggish motor on dvd drive

...I brought this TV over a year ago. I have a very small bedroom but wanted the use of both a video player and a dvd player and i needed a new tv so a mate suggested why dont you get one of these all in one systems. So i went shopping for one, I was looking to find one in black as i prefer black to silver well grey. but i could not find a black tv any where so i settled for the Grundig 14GR3000 its a make i never heard of before but i thought well its cheap for what it is so i will have it any way.

Advantages: .
Disadvantages: No back up support. Poor customer relations

Remote Control ---------------------- If your button mad like me then your going to want to know the feel of the buttons! It has been designed with a curve so it sits snugly in your hand. The button-layout is unchallenging and you've got all the buttons in the right places. See the picture below for a look! On screen display ------------------------- All digital tuners have different screen layouts. Digital terrestrial has what's called and an open MHEG architecture, which basically means that a brand of tuner can design and add whatever it likes with the on screen displays. Most of the new tuners like Grundig's GDT1000 has a built in TV guide. It is accessible... Read review
