Customer Review: Brilliant product
Having tried Pinnacle’s dvb-t stick on my laptop, which failed miserably (erasing the drivers for my DVD drive), I returned it and replaced it with this. In constrast to the Pinnacle stick, this is genuinely vista compatible. I plugged it in, and had the drivers working within a very short space of time. After the troubles with Pinnacle, I didn’t bother with the bundled software, but instead installed the stick in Windows Media Centre. This took around 15 minutes to complete, after which I was able to receive 70 channels. Picture quality is excellent, with none of the crashing that others have experienced. Overall, one very satisfied customer.
Customer Review: Total Rubbish
Drivers are completely Irratic and tryung to remove the product fully is impossible. Go somehwere else if you want a rpoduct like this. This one is just to unreliable in setting up.
Sharp LC42XD1EA - 42″ Widescreen Full HD 1080P LCD TV - With Freeview 
The stunning LC-42XD1E is one of the very few LCD TV?s which is True HD. Incorporating a 6.2M (sub) Pixel 7th Generation LCD panel this Aquos model displays 1080p lines (interlaced) of vertical resolution with amazing clarity and detail.
Customer Review: Worth the money
If you’re thinking of buying this, don’t hang about. The picture is fantastic. The onboard tuner(s) picked up everything at first attempt, both analogue and digital. I’ve hooked up a PC to it (DVI-D to HDMI at 1920×1080) resolution and it’s stunning. I have a few minor quibbles but nothing to justify docking stars. 1) The button for cycling through different aspect ratios is not on the main remote control panel, but under a little panel at the back of the remote. It’s something I change a lot and it’s inconvenient. 2) The OSD (on screen display) is a bit large and chunky for something which has such high resolution capability. As a result the text is often hard to read because there isn’t enough room to display much of it. If anyone can tell me how to alter the resolution for this, I’d love to know, but I suspect you can’t. 3) It’s slightly slower at changing channels than I would like - not enough to be a nuisance, but enough to be noticeable. Overall though, it’s got everything I wanted from a TV, plus many extras, and at 42″ it makes my old 32″ widescreen CRT look like a portable!
Customer Review: Overall very good, a couple of minor quibbles…
Great screen, decent sound, nice styling of the outside. Setup was straightforward, giving some good results out of the box. Colour fidelity is excellent, although I have to say I’ve found my Sony HD recorder does a marginally better job with the SD upscaling when connected via HDMI. There’s some good options for controlling dynamic sound range which I like, and several different preset settings for screen and colour intensity. The virtual surround sound is pretty good, and there’s access to the digital radio channels too. One issue I did notice was with the dynamic backlight stepping down a notch on a few (very rare) occasions where it shouldn’t - on some deep space scenes in Star Wars for example, the average brightness of the screen dims down a fair bit when the Millennium Falcon zips off into the distance. The EPG on the TV’s digital tuner is functional but looks a bit ancient and unloved, which is not a problem since I hardly use it. On the whole, I’m very happy with it.
