Typical price: £1,899
What is it: 32-inch 720p hi-def TV with integrated Media Center PC
What we think: Average display quality and lack of standalone TV operation hinder an otherwise decent product
What you need to know

Tags: packard bell, television, scenes, ports
We like:
Dual TV tuners; gyroscopic remote; PC functionality on a big screen
We don't like:
Slightly noisy in operation; no standalone TV operation
CNET UK judgement:
The SmartTV S320 is a very good Media Center PC. It has plenty of storage, good performance and it will happily show high-definition content. Where it falls down slightly, however, is its inability to work as a standalone television and its questionable image quality
