Guys I own one of these and for the price it's a good all-round TV. It plays most standard Divx movies via USB or DVD as well. The only draw back is the sound is a little tinny sometimes and the viewing angle/contract ratio is what you'd expect for the price. I bought this one for around $330 a year ago as not many smaller TV's were Full HD with DVD, USB and memory card slots. Good buy for $179, if you want a cheapy for the shed, bedroom… This is a good buy.

Is it possible to buy TVs in this size with good vertical viewing angles, or are they all TN-based nowadays? Can't decide whether it's finally worth replacing the 34cm kitchen TV or if something like this DSE would look little better than a cheap computer monitor (which would be a downgrade from the little CRT in colour/contrast and viewing angle).
