hi,

Does anyone have one of these TV’s? If so any information reviews would be very helpful?

I am looking for a bedroom TV about 17” LCD,

I have been looking at this model because I like the idea of it having integrated digital and widescreen at the right price but I’m not to sure if the gubbings are any good? Maybe someone could advise if this is worth buying?

Also is 2 x 3 watt enough power for the speakers because they look very small too me??

Thanks;

Here the speck of the TV;

I just purchased one of these and it seems pretty good. Very nice to have both digital channels and analogue ones. I first purchased a similar but different brand model but took it straight back as the audio quality was so poor you couldn't hear it. This one is much better as I guess you'd expect from high end speaker manufacturers Wharfedale. Haven't had it long enough to be completely sure, but so far it's great.

Can anyone help me answer a question regarding this unit?


Can you watch one of the AV channels (eg: scart 1 or 2) and get the audio from the audio in connectors?

ie: Watch AV1 or AV2 (scart 1/2) and select the audio souce on the remote to instead be from the audio in connectors (PC IN)?

Beware I purchaced one from Argos just over a year ago so out of waranty ,one night no picture but sound after trying on and off smoke wafted up from back of set.
I have taken it to a repair shop and he is having great difficulty finding who acctuly built it to source the faulty componant.
