PANASONIC TH42PX60B 42" HD Ready Digital Plasma TV

Advantages: Picture, sound, reliability
Disadvantages: Heavy

...The PANASONIC TH42PX60B is built like a tank. If you want a TV that's not going to let you down go for a Panasonic. I chose Plasma for it's movie smoothness and acurate shadow detailing. This TV is is fantastic in every way. Even the built in sound is such a high standard, I have a £5500 hi-fi that I run the consoles and PC through but for watching TV the speakers really are up to the task, decent reproduction. It has built in freeview, 2 HDMI sockets, 3 scarts, component and a PC input as well as audio inputs. I have mine on the pedestal stand which is really neat and tidy. The TV is VERY heavy (as plasmas are). It handles 720P and 1080I. As a Media Centre display in my lounge its running 1280 X 720 beautifully, the only thing is that being a plasma the screen temporarily burns in icons etc if you play games for a long period. This is...

Review of PANASONIC TH42PX60B 42" HD Ready Digital Plasma TV

Large HD ready TV for less than you would think.

Advantages: Cheap, Brand name, beautfil picture
Disadvantages: Bad controller, not loud enough

...quality and good viewing angles. Things I dislike about the TV are: Annoying controller that is badly designed. Position of Ports on the back of the TV. Lack of a good range of volume. Considering all the good and bad points I would rate the TV 4 out of 5. It loosing out on the last mark due to the sound not being loud enough at times, the badly designed controller and the poorly located ports on the back. Overall if you are wanting a HD ready TV for not a lot of money, you really cannot go wrong with this one to get you started....

Review of Acoustic Solutions LCD26805HD

ONE AMAZING TV!!

Advantages: Picture, Sound, Size, Experience of new TV
Disadvantages: Buttons at the side ae not labelled!

...We bought this 37" LCD TV, which is HD ready from Dixons.co.uk. We already knew that Dixons high street stores were good. At this point, the high street stores had shut down, and was only available online. We decided to give Dixons.co.uk a shot, as we thought that they would be just as good. We ordered it from the products page on the website and the website told us that the TV would be with us within 14 days, without fail.This turned out to disapoint, as after weeks of phone calls, staff hanging up, and rude staff, we finally got our TV 2 months later. The cost of the TV was £700 at the time of buying. But I am not here to talk about where I bought it from, I am going to tell you about the TV itself and how much fun you will have using it. In the box came loads and loads of polystyrene, fun if your a kid, but we didn't think it was...

Review of LG 37" LCD TV RZ32LZ55 HD Ready

Have a TV repair man ready!

Advantages: Good price, good picture and sound, looks nice.
Disadvantages: It costs a bomb to get repaired.

...hubby drive so carefully in my life!! Luckily we got it home in one piece. After some faffing around in moving our old tv out of the way (we should have done this before I know!), we then put the tv on our unit, plugged the sky into one of the scart sockets, attached the plug and plugged it in, switched it on and hey presto?. it worked. Didn't need to use the instructions at all and the remote is very simple to work as well. Now, this part of it I was impressed with, easy to set up and just minutes after getting home we were watching it! Here are it's vital statistics: SIZE Height (68cm), Width (95cm), Depth (11.1cm) - add an extra 4cm to height with the stand. Weight 24.3kg PICTURE 37" (94cm) widescreen display (93cm visible screen size) HD Ready Brightness 500cd/m2 Resolution 1366 x 768 pixels Contrast ratio 600...

LCD32TV022HD

Advantages: Excellent quality picture and crystal clear sound
Disadvantages: Would be better wall mounted.

...We have recently purchased the Bush LCD32TV022HD and find this item good value for money. Having a considerably large screen, , the quality of picture does not decline at all, as some screen's unfortunately do.. Crystal clear sound. A simple, Realistic set up, With no pulling out hair activity!. And addition to all of that, It has a silver, Super modern funky look, to accessorise your living room. However there is always a "but" to follow!, As fantastic as this Television looks on its curved design stand, I think it would compliment this TV even more if it was optional to come wall mounted, then it would be really ideal!. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Features~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Screen Size 82 CM Screen Format 16:9 HD Ready Scart Connection...

Value for money HD Ready TV with built in DVD

Advantages: Quality, simplicity, value for money, options and features
Disadvantages: none for this price range

.... Introduction I bought it for my Fiancé as a Christmas gift. Wanted to buy a portable DVD Player but changed my mind and decided to buy Accoustic solution 22” TV with built in DVD and digital receiver. For this price range this telly is definitely better buy. If you consider buying a portable device for in room use it is not really a good idea. The biggest I found was just 10”. For the same price you can buy much bigger and with much better parameters TV (like this). Portable devices are good but only when travelling. I got it from Argos for less then £200. I had no problems in store except of fact that they had no big bags. Box was without handles or anything to catch. Because of that had to spend another 15 minutes on making some comfortable handle using a thin rope. About Acoustic...

Disadvantages: non as of yet

Review of Wharfedale LCD26HD

HD pictures without monthly subsrciptions

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, intuitive epg, easy setup
Disadvantages: None

...I purchased this box initially for the Euro 2008 Matches which were shown on ITV HD as well as BBC HD. Upon opening the box, the first thing I noticed was how small the foxsat is. To give an idea I'd say it's 3/4 the size of a standard Sky digibox. The unit itself is supplied with the remote control, batteries, scart cable, component cable, and a reasonable quality HDMI cable. Connection of the box is very simple with just one connection to the satellite dish, mains plug and HDMI cable to your TV (assuming you are using a HD ready TV, which you should be if purchasing a HD receiver). After a small delay waiting for the box to boot up, the unit automatically searches for firmware updates and scans for all available channels. You have to enter your postcode during the setup process in order for the box to determine your...

Review of Humax Foxsat-HD

Bush LCD 32TV016

Advantages: Good picture quality
Disadvantages: None

...hd ready, I don't have hd sky or a blu-ray player, I'm quite impressed. There are a number of contrast settings on this so if you are watching a show that was filmed in poorer quality you can alter the settings so that it looks clearer. There are also a few audio settings which can give the sound a better feel and improve the atmospehere when watching films. I'm currently looking for a nice surround sound package to team up with this television, once I do, I think my entertainment system will be devastating. The option that I really like is that you can split the screens between two inputs. In essence, you can watch two channels at once. I've managed to get this going with my sky and the tv's built in freeview when two football matches were on but have yet attempted to do it with a dvd and another input. I guess this does have fairly...

Review of Bush LCD 32 TV 016 HD

Philips 26" Flatscreen HD Ready TV

Advantages: Amazing picture, 2 HDMI Inputs, Great value for money
Disadvantages: Bass sound can be fuzzy on extreme sounds with near full volume

...My previous TV, which was a 19" Mistubishi CRT TV finally bit the bullet, and to find a replacement I choose this Philips 26" Flat Screen HD Ready Monitor. My budget wasn't huge so I had to make do with what I could find bearing in mind a few necessities: - It must be HD Ready - HD content is becoming the norm in terms of gaming as well as movies and even TV programs. This TV was to last me at least 5+ years, so I wanted to be future proof. - Have 2+ Scart sockets, one of the main reasons my previous TV began to fail was that the Scarts at the back became very loose, due to constant swapping between Freeview / DVD Player / VCR Player and PS2, and so having 2+ would mean I wouldn't have to switch it so often. - Be at least 20" and widescreen, 19" was fine in all honesty, but since movies these days are widescreen, getting that...
