Hi all,

I now have my first LCD TV - bought second-hand off my brother (it's only a small basic 16 inch Alba).

I have noticed that when I am watching the TV from even a slight angle the picture appears "ghosted" (is the best way I can describe it).

I'm going to upgrade it as soon as I can - but I was wondering is this common with LCD TV's or is it because it's an older/inexpensive model?

Many thanks.

Cheap tvs use TN panel technology which have poor viewing angles.
Full explanation of different panel types here:-

You'll just have to do your homework on any new tv you're thinking of buying.

What ever you do don't base your LCD picture experience based on the rubbish the Harvard group churns out. Go into a Sony anda Panasonic retailer and look at the picture quality available. Move off axis to check how viewable the picture still is. Don't get into the FULL-HD rip off, for smallish screens HD-Ready is perfectly OK from a good maker.
