Hi Carol
I don't know the model number, but I reckon I could get it for you, so bear
with me until I ask Martin's sister tomorrow. The TV is a 32 inch, and it
came with a really nice glass stand that has two shelves underneath it. The
TV is an HD, and has got the facility to attach phono plugs, headphones and
all the rest of it. I'm sure it's just like any other TV you can buy these
days, all mod cons and little relevance to us! (grins). The main thing is
that I can work it. The remote control has nice, spaced out buttons, and it
does the job ok.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
