Disadvantages: sound, it can't make toast

...The T220HD is a fantastic TV/pc monitor combo with connections to the hilt, and is teeming with quality that is usually forgotten in this end of the tv market. Walking into any electronics store and looking at the tv section is always a daunting task, not least actually locating the smaller 22" screens behind the lumbering 50" behemoths.

Advantages: Great playback of CD as well as DVD
Disadvantages: None that come to mind.

...In the interests of disclosure, I used to sell these products. This is a nice DVD player. Ideally partnered with the Azure 540R surround amp, but also with any other good quality products. This is a real audiophile/videophile player and is capable of geting so much more from a disk than those nasty players sold for £20 in your local supermarket. Don't let me put you off it though if you don't count yourself as an enthusiast, just a user. Its very easy to use and should outlast the cheapies very comfortably and will let you get so much more enjoyment from films and music - yes it does even work very well as a CD player. (I know all DVD players can actually play CD's. But that doesn't mean that many of them do a good job of it - the 540D does). I'm going to go off on a slight tangent here so scroll down a bit if you don't want to read... Read review
