Worst 32" TV I have ever used – This is an incrediblely cheap TV. Its definitely made from the cheapest components! Picture quality (only 720P) is OK if you dont look closely but the sound is TERRIBLE! Very drummy and uncomfortable to listen to. No sound adjustment will get it right. NOT RECOMMENDED Show details

Decent for a cheaper model television – Purchesed as a replacement for a dead screen on my pc > it runs Full HD 1080p the sound I see from many other reviews and over the years across several different brands of tv I have used DSE jvc Samsung and a sanyo all sounded relitivly tinny / tingy thru the tv's sound system this one is no better or worse its just > television standard speakers… Read more

u want good quality sharp bass / treble route ur sound thru an appropriate home theatre system or stereo the picture is great it games well with comfortable responsive sharpness 60 FPS @ 1080p and for $75 used from cash converters I think it was a good buy for a emergency replacement screen I see no immediate fault with its quality or user layout infact its very similar to the dick smith GE6823 that I have had running for last 7 years without a fault and that one nice thing to find a new device with same feel and operating layout to what u are used to as it is used and no idea of what previous owner did with it I will be saving to get a new one as I have no idea how long it will last who knows it may survive and surprise me

Value for money – Good tv for the price. Decent picture and essential ports provided (HDMI, USB). Negative: the sound is a little tinny and it started making a hissing sound 12mths after purchase. Show details

Great TV for the price! – Easy to use, good quality for the price. The only complaint would be the audio quality but again, for the price is very good. If better audio is desired it may be worth purchasing a speaker. Show details

Happy with my purchase – I got this from the Goodguys & am pretty happy with it. I wasnt expecting much since it is so cheap but it has been pretty good. The sound is bad, so you will have to have speakers to plug in, but I was expecting that. The picture quality is 720p, which can be too low for some, but its fine for me. Update: It stopped working after 3 years. The warranty was only for 2 years unfortunately. Show details

Linden is the worst brand ever – Was talked into this 'good guys' recommended brand TV as the hisense that was in the catalogue was sold out. biggest mistake ever! Remote is so complicated, nothing makes sense, it is the cheapest manufactured piece of [Word Removed] that i have ever bought. So bad the antenna reception is even weak! i have no positive comment to say about… Read more

this....it will untune itself from channels, apple tv connection everything.....so bad i ended up trying to endure it for a few months but have finally come to the realisation that it's just crap. went back and bought a Hisense. WARNING DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY....wish i had read the reviews on here before i made the stupid mistake of listening to the sales man at the good guys....

Useless bad product. Save yourself the trouble – Sound is pathetic. Dont waste your money. Cannot even make out what people say and if you turn it up it becomes a raw of tinny noise. Use your money to buy a book instead. Or if you really need to waste money then burn it. It will save you a lot of frustration.  Show details

Suitable for bedroom, second TV – 32 inch (80 cm) Television. Used in bedroom. Basic TV. Sound fairly tinny but picture adequate. Has 3 HDMI inputs which we use to connect Hard Drive or DVD. Mainly used for visiting children and watch their shows and does this more then adequately. Happy enough with purchase in view of the cheap price.  Show details

Weighs nothing but does the job – If you need a 32"Flat Panel TV that has a thin frame and weighs next to nothing, then this is it. This TV has the same size picture but without the thick picture frame on our old TV. We didn't realise what a huge difference it would be and now realise that we could have upsized the screen and still fit the TV cabinet shelf. Oh well, too late… Read more ·  1

now.

It is a budget priced TV and doesn't have any SMARTS but it is CEC-HDMI compliant so it will allow the remote and TV to exchange commands with your smart set top or Chromecast device if connected to HDMI port 1.

This TV is seriously light, has the standard 4 screw mounting points on the back, you could mount it on the ceiling, wall or door. Save weight in the caravan?

If you like the idea of laying in bed and watching TV, this could be it, mounted to the ceiling above. I can hold it in one hand. I have a Vesa mounting bracket which weighs about the same as this TV.

It is 240 VAC so you'll need to plug it into the inverter in your caravan.

Linden televisions are rubbish! – Surprise surprise, 2 weeks after the 12 month warranty expired, my Linden television lost sound, we now have the inconvenience of buying & setting up another television, and it won't be a Linden! We phoned Good Guys about possibility of fixing it but too expensive. We will buy a different brand from Harvey Norman.  Show details

Perfect for my Man Shed – I purchased this TV several months ago for a replacement in my man shed which I spend a lot of time in. It has not missed a beat, the picture quality is extraordinary, functionality is good, and is a perfect size for my needs as I work and play. The sound is a little ordinary, so I connected a pair of good quality computer speakers with their own… Read more

power supply and problem solved. Another issue I have with this TV is that if you set the timer or time clock to power on and off at certain times it works OK, but if there is a power interruption or power failure, the TV will not retain this memory, therefore the unit will not turn on again to the pre set times. I have a serious use for this function and am very disappointed it is not incorporated into the circuitry. Other than that the TV is Great and the price was unbeatable.

Linden 32 inch tv – Great picture, great sound easy set up. Excellent value for money. Will be purchasing a second one today for another bedroom. Dealing with the Good Guys, Port Macquarie was excellent. This tv has all the options one would like, however, it is not a smart tv which does not worry me.  Show details

So far so good! – I've had my tv for a few months and it has been great. Excellent resolution. Easy to use remote. And I haven't lost it yet! I mostly use it to cast from phone and computer. It is clear and the sound if excellent for a smaller tv. Perfect for the bedroom.  Show details

Good – I am happy with this product. I got one of these from the Good Guys and it's not bad for the money though the sound quality is a let down, truly awful sound quality. Picture seems quite good for price point and ended up getting a Panasonic Soundbar 80 watt 2.0 Ch. ($99 on special) The 2 work well together. The T.V. is easy to set up and auto tune.  Show details

Good picture. poor sound – Good value for $199 though few days after I bought it decided to get a soundbar as the audio quality is just poor and tinny sounding. The picture quality is pretty good and I can watch it without and obvious flaws. This was to replace another budget TV which lasted just over 5 years. I will be happy if I get similar life from this unit.  Show details

Excellent Value – Excellent value for price. Good resolution and compatible with similar high end brands. Light weight and sturdy stands with antislip base. Multiple inputs including 3 HDMI, VGA etc. There are couple of things such as low audio and basic remote control that are not so great. Can improve on speakers and remote functions for sure.  Show details

OK, 720p screen, good brightness and colour, motion blur and below par sound. Decent cheap extra TV – A low-end 32 inch TV. Good guys charged $230 which is overpriced, should be $199. Replacement for the GVA they used to sell. Nice stand legs which are close together, well made housing. Screen - Colours on the screen are good. Nice and bright and surprisingly good picture balance and viewing angles for the tier. Reds are good which is rare at… Read more

this price point, usually muted and horrible. Screen motion - Bad with some streaking, however the alternative is "juddering" with moving objects and I prefer the slight streaking for general viewing. Sound - Peaky, middle centric sound but have heard worse and volume is good. Ports - Had 3 x HDMI which is good for the price, USB and VGA which many don't have. Media player - Basic but covers the basics, reasonable video playback support. PVR/Timeshift. Present, you can at least change the start timer but it's very very basic. Remote. Good size, but definitely cheap feeling. actually easier to use and preferred to the horrible one I got with the Samsung. Tech info - TV is made by Shenzhen MTC. Mstar chipset. Same base model offered by Kogan, GVA and others in the past. 1366x768px screen. Sadly, Linden have changed the factory menu code from input + 2580 to unknown.

Painful poor quality colour screen – Well, I'm sorry I did not read the reviews, the Linden website should have given it away. The picture quality is shocking. I wanted to use this as a monitor but it keeps going off, into screen saver mode. I went to the website and realised that after seeing no product support I place this product price range at $59.00, not $195.00 perhaps the… Read more

good guys should think twice before selling rubbish.

Yes, I'll take responsibility for not doing my homework prior to purchase, but it's my responsibility to warn others not to buy this product.

Even as a monitor the sound quality is poor.

The colour is grey, not white, actually, I might call the bad guys and ask for a refund, as it's not what I thought it was.

Yes, it did come in a box, but I think it belongs in a brown paper bag, waiting for the hard rubbish collection.

Not advisable for gaming – Dynamic setting was faded in color, pixel were very pronounced ... overall picture was too grainy even with the NR set to high. Didn't use the sound ... headphones for gaming. Packed it back up and returned the very next day. Upgraded for the HISENSE 32M2160.
