Another really nice feature on the TV is the Media Browser option. This allows you to watch other videos, listen to music and to view photos from a USB device.
The supported formats for playback are:
Movie: .mpg, .dat, .vob, .avi
Music: .mp3

Final Thoughts
This is a nice TV and is very simple to use. The Remote takes a little getting used to – not because its hard to use, but because its so big! Now for some people that will be really good – I can see it working very well in a child’s bedroom and also for people who have trouble with small buttons. It is well laid out though.
The inclusion of a built-in DVD player is also a nice touch, and it works very well.
As I mentioned, for me the killer feature is the USB recording capability. My only criticism of this is that you can only record what you are watching. But to be fair, it is called PPR and not PVR!
The quality of the screen is great and I really enjoyed watching it. Setting it up was a breeze, in fact, I was sure it wasn’t working correctly because it was so quick, but I was wrong!
It has a lot of connections on it, although it only has 1 HDMI port, which in this day and age isn’t many, but you can always buy an HMDI extender.
The price for the TV is £299, but you don’t get a USB drive with it, so make sure you get something if you want to use the PPR features.
Although at the moment if you register your TV with LINSAR via their website they will send you a free USB key.
