Advantages: Good Price
Disadvantages: Poor Remote Control / Extended Guarantee Coverage

...for my 2nd TV. 2 Scarts, 1 HDMI, etc.. Very slow at going through the differenct AV's using the remote. You have to wait for the AV to connect and show the screen before you can move on to the next one. Again, for the price you will get used to it. One thing I do need to point out about this TV is the extended warranty. You can only get the extended warranty from Argos. No other insurance provider that I can find so far provides extended warranties for this brand. I have been in touch with Acoustic Solutions and they have told me this is an exclusive line to Argos and they have nothing to do with this. A bit disappointing that I could not use Domestic and General as they were cheaper. Have had to take it out with Argos now just in case anything does happen after the 12 months inclusive warranty. To sum it up I think I got... Read review

Advantages: Quick set up and great picture quality
Disadvantages: None

...BACKGROUND It was the end of January, the christmas credit card bill had just arrived, our boiler had broken down and our TV decided to blow up - talk about a run of bad luck! So to say our budget for a new tv was tight is an understatement! HOW WE ENDED UP WITH THE PARTICULAR MODEL We looked on line and found the Acoustic Solutions CTVL26W3HD 26in HD Ready LCD TV on offer in Argos for £229.99 and thought that it was too good an offer to pass. However when my husband went to pick it up he was told that it was out of stock and was given a Dual 26" LCD TV as a substitute. Knowing how much we'd spent we weren't expecting much but after 2 days we had no choice but to return it to Argos. The picture quality was horrendous. No amount of tinkering with the contrast and colour settings helped and the top third of the screen... Read review

Advantages: Great quality TV without an expensive price tag
Disadvantages: No freeview.

...disadvantage I have found is the lack of freeview built in. This would appear to be a bit of an oversight as this will soon become the broadcasting standard for all. However as they say, you get what you pay for. Having said that freeview boxes are available from most of the big supermarkets now from just £15. SUMMARY ************ The big question is would I recommend or buy the same set again? Quite simply Yes!!. For the price paid, the all round quality is very very good and more than comparable with TV's priced £100 - £200 more expensive.

Advantages: Very lightweight
Disadvantages: Not one of the BIG brand names

...Having discovered that my existing widescreen telly was not "HD" ready, I decided it was time to upgrade (on a tight budget of course). After spending the weekend checking out different sizes makes and models in various showrooms I decided that a 32" widescreen would be big enough for viewing pleasure, yet modest enough for the available space in my front room. After much debating with my better half we decided on this Acoustic Solutions LCD TV from Argos.(deciding factor being the dramatic price slash). A real bonus was the fact that this TV has integrated freeview which saves the bother of hooking up yet another item to your TV and taking up another valuable socket. The TV was very easy to set up/tune, it gave on screen step by step instructions - a few clicks of the buttons and Bobs your Uncle. Although it does seem a bit slow... Read review

Advantages: Great sound & picture quality - Very easy to set up & install
Disadvantages: No swivel stand - No intergrated freeview

...---------------- Description --------------------- Well after purchasing a brand new Xbox 360 I decided I needed something bigger than a 18'' portable TV in my bedroom .... after much hesitating I decided to take a trip down to our local Argos to see what I could pick up under £500 but bigger and better than an 18'' portable. After browsing through the catalogue I came across this TV priced at £349.99 so I put it to the back of my mind and kept on browsing. After checking out the 26'' HD Ready Phillips, JVC, Sony TVs I realised I'd be paying £400+ just for the brand name. Anyway I usually tend to buy "well known" brands when it comes to electrical goods or clothes as you know you can rely on them. So after deciding whether to buy this Acoustic Solutions 32'' HD Ready TV or go for a smaller yet well known brand TV. Anyway I plucked... Read review

Advantages: Nicely designed DAB receiver
Disadvantages: Still a bit pricey for the casual user

..., neither is working with particularly high-fi signals in the first place ao they don’t have much work to do. But the sound from the Portal is warm, clear and really nice to listen to. I can’t really tell the difference between stereo and mono stations because the speakers in the Portal 2 are so close together. --> ANY PROBLEMS? Both Acoustic Solutions receivers do have one design flaw. The designers have gone for versatility, in that the radio can be used standing up or lying down (using the handle as a stand). But when the radio is standing, you can’t see the station text, and when it’s lying on its handle, the speaker is pointing downwards at a 45 degree angle – directing all the sound into the table! I suppose the aerial had to go somewhere, and the back is the obvious place for it… but it’s still a bit frustrating to have either... Read review

Advantages: loud, good sound, looks nice
Disadvantages: over heats, when really loud, does sound distorted

...it all started, when me and my friend went to cash converters and looked for an amp, he brought the acoustic solutions sp100, for £45, it didnt come with a box, or instructions but it is very easy to use when you get use to it and is very light for transporting. He only used it for around two months, then desided to sell it to me, for £30, and what a bargin it was. Ive had this amp now, for around two years, in its time, it has been connected to many speakers, ranging from 12 inch subs, to floorstands, both with brilliant sound qaulity. this amp can be used to connect many things, i have had my mixer connected to it, and used it to do gigs, as this amp definatly has the power for a small party, or garden party. The amp only has 2 speaker outputs, which use bare-wire speakers, so you can use a wide range of speakers on this amp... Read review

Advantages: Price and specification
Disadvantages: Flimsy DVD drive

...Having got totally sick of watching widescreen programmes on a standard set with black lines at the top and bottom (thanks to Sky's letterbox setting) I decided to treat myself to a widescreen LCD TV. Having convinced my other half this was a good use of some of the kids inheritence I plumped for the AS TVD - 3119WS based on price and functions. The set comes as HD ready and includes a built-in DVD player. All the usual controls and functions that you would expect with either seperate TV or DVD machines are there (play, pause, volume, contrast etc) so no suprises. Setting up the machine was a cinch, straight out of the box and follow the included instructions and all the local and national channels were there. I was not expecting the bright blue glow from two LEDs on the DVD but I found that these can be turned off in the settings... Read review
