Advantages Good picture quality

Disadvantages None

This is a good value TV.

It was very easy to set up as it automatically located & stored the 5 main channels which meant that it was watchable very quickly.

However, I had to move the "VCR" channel as it overlapped with channel 5. this was a little complicated as Philips store channels by frequency rather than channel number (although there is a list of the correct settings in the manual), it would be easier if they had stuck to using the channel number (21-68).

The picture is very sharp & clear. The colours are good.

Having two SCARTs means that it is possible to plug in a VCR & one other accessory without having to keep switching the leads around.

I like the way that it can identify the type of picture being sent to it and adjust the picture size accordingly. For example, if I have BBC1 on the Freeview box it usually selects "widescreen" but as soon as I change to (say) TMF it changes to the correct zoom mode. Occasionally this is frustrating at it insists on Sky Sports News being in Zoom mode when you want to see the very bottom of the picture (and that is partially off the screen).

The teletext is easy to operate. There is the option of storing your 4 favourite pages from each channel and being able to access them through the fasttest keys.

It only cost ~£250 from Hughes Direct which i regard to be a fair price for it.
