Acoustic Solutions LCD32805HD

I purchased the Acoustic Solutions 32in LCD32805HD from Argos about 18 months ago, it was between catalogues and on offer at £299 down from £349.99.

The picture quality is very good as I'm a Sky subscriber, and I had just purchased a Samsung DVD recorder which had an HDMi connection on the back.

The picture from the DVD via the Scart is pretty good, but there is a marked improvement with the HDMi selected.

Depending on the quality of the broadcast programmes the picture via the Sky digibox is excellent. The picture can be set up to suit your own preference by using the Room Lighting function which has three options: Normal, Bright and Movie. I use Bright which works well with the Sky digibox. The Colour Temp control: Cool, Normal and Warm, is set to Warm and makes the colours nice and rich, but not too rich as I dislike an oversaturated picture. This TV gets it just right without too much tweaking of the standard settings!

Overall I like the set and have had very little trouble with it. Occasionally on switching on there is no picture just sound, but fiddling with the Scart lead has corrected this.

Also there is a slight looseness to the screen in the left side bottom corner and the right side upper corner when cleaning it, so I'm careful not to apply too much pressure when wiping the screen down.

At only 5 watts RMS sound quality is particularly good, there are five equalisation levels, Flat, Speech, Music, Personal and Jazz. I use Personal which can be changed to your own preference, and by switching on Effect gives you a Surround sound effect.

The Remote Control is a little convoluted with plenty of buttons, so you really need to read the attached operating manual to familarise yourself with it's controls, but after that it's a doddle to operate.

In summary I like the set, hopefully the slightly loose screen wont be too much of a cause for concern as despite this the picture, sound and ease of use of the telly is great.

Acoustic Solutions LCD32805HD is overall a great television, good steady stand supplied . Sound and Picture is unbeatable for the price but No built in FreeView - Even though the IrDA Remote has a DTV button!

I bought a 37 inch Acoustic Solutions LCD32805HD LCD TV last year. It worked well until I went to switch it on about a week ago. Now it just switches it's self off after about a second.

Overall Acoustic Solutions LCD32805HD is not a bad tv but on occasions when you turn it on, the sound comes but no picture so you have to turn it on and off a few times to work. Also not compatible with PS3 as it just aint up to the job keeps saying the signal is out of range.

At time of buying this tv, I was looking at some of the more expensive, well known ones but on closer inspection the picture on the Acoustic Solutions LCD32805HD was better than some of them. Has almost all the things we needed so was obvious choice has been faultless for the last 18 months.

After only 13 months of casual use (its a bedroom TV) I've found the picture refuses to come on and needs switching off / back on again about 4 or 5 times before it displays anything.

Sound is fine but no picture.

If we connect up a Freeview box it claims it can't detect a signal (from the box) and drops the picture out. So again you need to switch tv on / off a number of times before it will display again.

Their website is down as far as I am awarae, so I have no support details. Do not recommend Acoustic Solutions LCD32805HD.
