Technika DVD 106

Advantages: Connections. Ease of setup. 1080p. Looks.
Disadvantages: Takes maybe 5 seconds to turn on.

...I bought this TV from Tesco for the bargain price of £399. It takes no time at all to setup once out of the box. Mine is hooked up to a sky box, X-box 360 and a dvd player through HDMI. This leaves a spare HDMI and scart socket so there are more than enough inputs on this set including a CI slot for pay TV such as Setanta. I have also plugged in my laptop using S-video connection with no problems whatsover. Additionaly there are all the usual audio and video connections for sound systems and home video although I havn't tested these yet. Overall this machine is intuitive to use and offers great picture (1080p) and sound quality with just about every connection option available.... Read review

Advantages: Compact, Stylish
Disadvantages: Slightly slow software

...mounted, with standard mounting holes to fit most brackets. The Technika also has the outstanding idea of having the freeview service and dvd player built in making it very convinent and a good all in one. The remote is a good size and the buttons are easy to understand and you don't have to be really close to the television for it to work like with some remotes, it will quite easily work from the other side of the room. The instruction manual was also easy to understand all though this was hardly needed as the television was so easy to set up. We purchased ours from our local Tesco supermarket for £279 which i concider a very good price for the television with built in DVD and Freeview. The cable has a good lenth to it making it easy to place where you want it and still be able to reach the plug socked without masses of extention cable... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, slim-line, easy to use
Disadvantages: It looks a bit plasticy.

...I bought this DVD player about 2 years ago and it has done be proud. It cost me under £50 and I use it pretty much every week and haven't even needed to change the batteries. The quality is excellent and it even plays MP3's and music CD's. It does all the usually things like zoom, chapter selection, language selection etc. All I want a DVD player for it to play films and whether it be a really expensive Sony or a cheaper one like this, they all do the same. It does look a bit plasticy when you get up close but is very slim-line and you hardly know that it's there! I would definately recommondend this item this item.... Read review
