The Humax Amadeus only comes with a single HDMI connection. That’s likely to be OK if you’re using it as a secondary model in a spare room or bedroom but might niggle after a while if it’s your main telly. On top of that, it also comes with an RGB Scart, S-Video input, Component input, Composite input, PC input, PC audio input, headphone output and a CAM slot.

The menu system is extremely basic. That should idiot-proof it, although there are a few things to get used to. For example, the PVR functions only become active in the menu when the portable drive is plugged in and you’re watching something that can be recorded.

Overall, the Humax Amadeus 22-inch HD Ready TV is a solid, if uninspiring, choice. If you’re looking to make good use of the sound quality by playing your MP3s, then it’s definitely worth a look. But if you’re simply looking for something in this sizewith these specs, thee are plenty of competitors out there and most won’t have their PVR functions built inside rather than out.

VERDICT: 6/10
