LG RH277H

Advantages: None, avoid this product
Disadvantages: Smoke, burning smells, and trapped discs

...the assignment a difficult one to help me with unaided so Phil (another guy) joined myself and Dave where we spent a mammoth two and a quarter hours looking at all the models. At the end none of us were convinced that we were going to get anywhere and it looked like I had wasted these guys time; that was until the manager bobbed yup with the “new in stock” LG RH-277H DVD recorder, now I have had an LG television for donkeys years and it was incredibly easy to work, so this seemed like a really good indicator, not only that the remote could be made as easy or as simple as I wanted it to be. At a price of £199 I thanked all the staff and scouried out of the store with it.

Once connected the various plugs are invisible but it's quite a tricky feat to reach up behind the machine whilst looking at the manual's picture of the back and plug anything in. Fortunately, once things are attached they're done for a long time. You can't take this TV out of standby without pulling the mains plug out of the wall or flicking the switch. This annoys my wife as the socket is difficult to reach and we can't easily do that. The manual suggests turning things off fully whilst being struck by lightning or going on holiday. How good is the LG 50PC56 for watching? This depends entirely on what you feed into it. If you have Virgin Cable then it's very poor. I've had an engineer come out to see why the built in Freeview which is great looked so much nicer than the slightly... Read review
