I bought this as a spare room device for my parent's house. Not only is it smaller than their previous CRT/Freeview Box/DVD player setup, it is also much simpler and a lot more attractive in situ.
The unit arrived promptly and I was relieved to find out that the smoked plastic effect round the edges is much less jarring in real life than it is in the photo. The unit is very logically and neatly laid out and even my parents found it easy to operate (my small daughter loves the slot-loading DVD).
Having seen other much pricier units suffer terribly from unrealistic colours and a viewing angle that drops off sharply I was pleased that this unit suffers from this hardly at all. The layout of the remote is logical and efficient and my only gripe is that the audio is a bit thin and muddy, I have to turn it up a bit more than I'd like to hear clearly. Still this is partly due to the TV being stood away from the wall, put it against a wall and the reflected sound will go a long way to alleviate this.
The main thing to note about this TV is that although it is HD ready, its forte is standard definition broadcasts, its HD performance is undistinguished. Its not that bad, just not that good either. It is great at normal TV however.
I have given it 4 stars because it is good value and I couldn't reasonably expect it to behave better than it does with an HD source. Also its compactness and ease of use are big pluses in my opinion.
All in, for the money I paid I am well pleased and more to the point, so are my parents!
