CNET UK judgement:
Humax's LCD hides the largest feature set we've ever seen in an LCD, with two integrated Freeview tuners and a 40GB hard drive for recording programmes.

This 32-inch LCD TV has two Freeview receivers as well as a 40GB hard drive for recording digital and anologue channels.

An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive

Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most

Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
