Good Points: None.
Bad Points: This is a PC monitor first, TV a not even close second.
General comments: I chose the Hitachi 17LD4200 TV because it had component connections for my DVD player. However, on delivery, it became very obvious that this is a computer monitor first, and TV functions have been added. Tragically the TV tuner they have chosen to use is ,going by my experiences ,a cheap and less than cheerful one.
There is no auto set-up for channel tuning, and the manual set-up is confusing and slow. The picture, using a plain old analogue aerial was truly woeful. The old portable that this LCD TV was supposed to replace gave a crystal clear picture, yet the Hitachi had terrible 'snow' on all channels. It also has no auto-aspect feature, so it's 16:9 or 4:3, that's it.
DVD picture was good using the component connections but there's no way it made up for the terrible TV performance.
No Scart connection for SKY either.
