Verdict
This is a 40 inch LCD Freeview TV with the capability of accessing selected internet services if connected to a home network. It has assisted tuning giving regional TV options to choose from when multiple signals are picked up. It took more than 30 seconds to power up after being switched off at the plug and the TV guide was very slow to fill up and navigate. It was generally quite poor to use and picture quality was effected when viewed from an acute angle.
