Advantages: Ease of installation, features

Disadvantages: Possible quality issues, slow TV guide

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 different quick settings are handy for things like gaming, sports, movies or general viewing.
There is a built in tv-guide, which is good, but you do have to wait a couple of minutes for it to search completely for listings which sometimes dont come up anyway.
The DVD player is just like any DVD player, so there isnt much to comment on there.
Overall, then, this is a reasonable TV. At about £175 it is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive TV, and i think the TV shows that in its quality, great for a bedroom or a TV which isnt your main one.

Summary: Good in many ways, but dont use it as your main TV
