Technika LCD22-208

I purchased this TV as a present for the girlfriend to have in her bedroom. Her previous set up consisted of a 15-year old 28" non-widescreen Sony TV balanced somewhat precariously on an Ikea chest of draws. Not only did it weigh an absolute tonne, it took up all the space on top, so the DVD player had to be placed on its side - not really ideal. Anyway, I had eyed up this TV in Tesco previously, and immeditely came back to it as at £185 it looked great value for money with the built in Freeview and DVD Player. Although we don't have Freeview in our area yet, it's nice to have something futureproof. I spent a good half an hour studying and ...  Read the complete review

About six weeks or so ago we had to replace our television and before setting out to buy a new set we decided to look around on the Internet to see if there were any extra good deals out there. After looking at the electrical giants websites we then had a trawl around the major supermarkets electrical departments and it was there that we came across the Technika LCD22-208.

The only thing stopping me from buying it straight away was the name, Technika, Tesco's own brand. I finally decided to buy it and one Saturday I went out and got one. Installation was simple enough but to be honest the instruction manual while it was helpful could have been better. To start off I plugged the power lead in. I then followed the instructions and ...  Read the complete review

The Technika LCD22-208. Its a TV, DVD player and freeview box all-in-one, plus it has HD capability, which is nice. However, there are a few issues with it. It isn't the only 22" LCD TV with all these features on it, nor is it the best i'm sure. For example, build quality may be an issue, where i need to string up my RF cable (the aerial cable) to prevent it from falling out or even just bending the socket a little, which i have found causes a little interference on some channels. Tuning the TV is easy, it has a simple to use auto-tune function, the only problem with it is finding it on the menu, which goes for most settings on the menu as well, although the ...  Read the complete review
