General Comments

I bought a BPL FWR 21 (that's 21 inches) about 3 months ago and it has been worth every penny. After our 3rd telly decided to die in about 6 months it was time for a new one. I was pretty skint and wanted something bigger than 14 inches. We toyed with the idea of getting a second hand one but didn't want to trust it to work for very long. Then we found this quality machine in Argos. Initially I thought, 'BPL who are they then? I don't want one of those'. But then I thought well if it's no good I'll take it back. It cost about £90 (but I got a 10% discount for applying for an Argos card that I didn't want and they later rejected me for anyway) so I only paid about £80, happy days. It's very smart in shiny silver and has a scart socket so I can watch DVDs or play X Box. The TV also come with Teletext, another bonus and a remote. We had a little trouble at first tuning in the channels (best to use the semi automatic tune), I think it scans a broader range of frequencies than a normal telly because it's made for use in different countries which is why it takes longer, that's my theory anyway, as a one off job though you can't really complain. The image quality isn't top draw but you wouldn't expect that, it's more than good enough and the sound quality is fine. If you are looking for a cheap large television then this is the machine for you. Don't let the brand put you off.
