This television set is ok for me except for one very disturbing issue: when showing a clear white (or pale) background, the colours begin to change noticably. On the left side it turns blue, on the right side yellow.
This is clearly a construction error. I was able to switch the set for another one(good service from the supplier!) but it has the same problem.
Now I regret not having payed something more for a good television set.

I am very unimpressed by the performance of my Ferguson W7023U TV set and the time I have to wait (see bad points). Both my wife and I are pensioners, and due to poor health we are not able to go out much, and rely on TV for our entertainment.

The Ferguson W7023U is a 28" widescreen TV with Nicam audio which represents excellent value for money. Coming in at between £300 - £350 you'd usually expect inferior picture quality, not so with this TV. The picture is crisp and the colour hues natural. The TV automatically switches to the pictures aspect ratio and if the picture is traditional 4:3 offers the user four different viewing ratio options.
The sound may not compete with a more expensive models, but is perfectly adequate (although I have been informed it does beat some more expensive TV's). If like me you use your stereo amp for the audio then the sound issue not a problem.
The TV features 2 x SCART inputs (SCART 1 is wired for RGB), an S-Video input and composite video inputs. It will also happily take an NTSC signal through the RGB SCART.
The instruction manual is fairly general (designed for several different models) but as the TV features auto-setup anyone with an ounce of intelligence can easily make sense of it.
All in all this TV represents excellent value for money without compromising picture quality. It might not be an all singing, all dancing Sony Wega, but then it is about half the price. At this price if you decided to up-grade in the future (a big possibility no matter what TV you buy considering the rate of development with TV technology) it won't be such a bitter pill to swallow.

John Bisset.'s Response to P.C.Poulton.'s Review
Written on: 26/10/2002
My experience of this model is very similar to that of Mr. Poulton. We've had the set for 18 months and the picture has become unacceptably unsharp and has a tendency to switch itself off. Yes, it seems like good value on the face of it, but surely I'm entitled to expect the set to function for longer.
Can anyone advise if this problem can be rectified easily. How do I contact Ferguson?
