Let's sing the praises of Samsung LCD TV

Advantages: Saves space, good picture, built in freeview
Disadvantages: HD broadcasts not out yet, need a HD ready DVD player too

...apparent thiness. I particularly like the Samsung as it is framed in black ( see picture above ) and I think this gives it a sleek, stylish look. My boss informed me once ( he is full of pearls of wisdom) that a LCD tv is equally popular with husbands and wives. His reasoning is that men like all the gadgets that come with it ( and there are many like picture in picture, different screen sizes etc) while women like the extra space it affords the sitting room. To be honest I like the extra space it affords our room. Furthermore as a parent I'm glad that neither of my sons can lick the television screens any more when their favourite characters come on ( the things they learn from their mother!). It also means they have to watch the television from a certain distance which is obvouisly benefical to their mince pies! *** Spot the Difference...

Review of Samsung LE32R51BD 32" LCD TV

Philips 42" LCD TV

Advantages: Easy set-up multi funtion control manuals cater for most languages
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this TV 4 weeks ago now and find it to be a pretty decent TV. I would give the picture quality 9/10 for digital and terrestrial TV channels unfortunately though I have not had a chance to test the High Definition picture quality yet. I would also give the sound 9/10 the virtual surround sound works quite well. On receiving the TV the packaging was excellent it was a case of pull the tabs and remove the stand, wall mounting brackets, instructions, and remote control from the top also the quick setup guide. It took less than 5 minutes to build the stand then it was just a case of removing the 2 plastic clips from the box, sliding the box up over the TV, lifting the TV onto the stand "this takes at least 2 people" and putting 4 screws into place to hold the TV to the stand. All this was achieved with a Phillips screwdriver...

Casio TV-970 LCD TV Review

Advantages: Portable, durable and nice design
Disadvantages: In-built speakers drain battery power

...Well, how can I describe this mini TV in one word? Brilliant. I went to get my post one morning and found a package on the floor. I'd won this little beauty. I've had it now for around 4 months and love it. The 2.3" LCD screen is very clear and the colours are very vivid, even on a less that great signal. It provides a sleek design of silver and wavy lines with clear labels for all 5 buttons and notches. The stand at the back comes out and allows it to sit on your desk at just the right angle without slipping. I've left it on my desk before and it's a nice little addition when the power cuts out and your other TVs don't work. The in-built speaker is very powerful and can become quite loud, which is excellent except for the fact that it seems to drain the batteries pretty quickly. This can be averted by plugging in some...

Review of Philips 37PF5521D

Philips 30" LCD Television

Advantages: Brilliant picture and outstanding appearance
Disadvantages: No assurance on how long it will last

...asked how long an LCD screen could be expected to last, the customer service person said it was unknown as they are just newly out on the market. As Philips themselves do not know the expectancy of this model I have decided not to accept a replacement and have gone for a convential widescreen telelvision until the LCD models are more fully tested. This is only my personal view on this particular model and although I could have been just unlucky I would advise anyone who might be thinking of buying this Philips 30" LCD to ask as many questions regarding their durability as I don't think anyone knows and time will tell as to how they will stand up to regular use. I will be sorry to see it go as I was so impressed with the quality of the picture but at the end of the day, I did not want to have a television that had to be...

Review of Philips 170B2M LCD Televisions

Bush LCD 32TV016

Advantages: Good picture quality
Disadvantages: None

...I'm not overly fussed with some of the technical aspects of televisions, I don't even understand most of it so I'll do my best not to bore anyone with these during my review. As long as I can plug in my dvd player, my sky box and my nintendo wii with no problems I'm a happy bunny. I agree, Bush might not be a market leader when it comes to televisions (or anything for that matter) but this one looked nice. I bought this television almost two years ago to use as the main house tv. It sits proudly in the corner of my living room with the matching glass tv stand. Both were bought from Sainsburys. The TV itself was on sale and I managed to get it for under two-hundred pounds. Which is an absolute steal. The cheapest I can find it for at the moment is around the £300 mark. The 32" inch screen gives a clear picture and considering, although...

Disadvantages: non as of yet

...I needed a new TV for my conservatory and working for the TV aerial industry I get to know all about all the new technology. After shopping around I had a budget on what I wanted to spend for a TV but knew I wanted a Tv that was able to be mounted on the wall.

BUSH 27" WIDESCREEN LCD TV

Advantages: nice flat screen, sharp clear picture
Disadvantages: can the cat knock it over? not hd ready?

...end of line 27" widescreen lcd flat television and just had to buy it. The only trouble was, that being end of line meant that you could not order it for delivery, so I did a search of all my local stores until I found one and we reserved it for collection the next day. My husband came home with the tv, we unpacked it and installed it so easily, it was a dream. The Techinical description of this television in the Argos catalogue is Bush LCD27TV005 27in Widescreen LCD TV. The Argos order number is: 529/2150 and we paid £399.99. From what I have read online, this television was retailing at around £600 originially, but at the moment, all of the LCD televisions seem to be 26 or 30/32 inches, so it looks like they are phasing out the 27" ones. The television is silver in colour and the speakers are each end of the television...

Review of Bush LCD27TV005

Philips TV

Advantages: Clear beautiful pictures
Disadvantages: Not many

...Ahh Phillips CRT TVs were one of the best of their kind, in both picture quality and sound. Picture is all important to me and other than Pioneer and Panasonic modern LCD/Plasmas, not many others have reached the picture quality standard as the old CRT TV's did. However, this is superseded by Blu-ray and true HD for obvious reasons. You can connect external sound to it but you would not be able to use Phillip's own sound circuitry to control the volume unless it is a Philips brand. Motion and crispness of picture is second to none, with no flicker, it seemlesses plays documentaries at excellent detail. Add to this 100hz technology and possibly Phillips pixel plus, you have an excellent TV which, in my view, lasts and perfoms better than modern LCDs. Nevertheless, it is a great buy, and great to watvh in the comfort of your own...

Bush 32" Widescreen LCD TV

Advantages: extremely cheap, HDMI, excellent on DVD & Games, wall mount, lots of functions
Disadvantages: TV channels quality not as good as DVD/Game quality, low contrast ratio

...Bush Idlcd 32 TV 16 HD Price £360 Features are listed at foot of review text We bought this TV because our old 28 inch TV took up too much space. We wanted something that would look modern and wouldn't become the focal point of the living room. We love films and computer games and so we also wanted something that would make our movie nights more of an event. We didn't think we could afford an LCD TV but we went shopping around for one nonetheless with an extremely tight budget. We looked at a few and thought we had found one we liked (a Samsung - apologies I have forgotten the model) until my fiance saw this this fellow. It was modern, it could be wall mounted, and if it was on a stand it didn't take up much room at all. Compared to other TVs in our budget it had 2 stand-out bonuses - 2 Scart sockets and even more...
