Anonymous verified purchaser , “im a hustla”
Score 10.0/10+ Very good picture even though its 720i, not using it as hd using standard HD. It also has HDMI port, so I could plug my laptop in, beautifull picture. + its really light so i didnt need 2 people 2 hook it up
- Sound doesnt have much bass, nevertheless for the price i paid its a bargin.

Des, Aberdeenshire , “IT consultant grandad”
Score 8.0/10+ Lots of inputs, can change input names to suit whats plugged in.
- Manual switching from 16:9 to 4:3 and back according to satellite channel. Auto Wide seems to be always 16:9, but maybe that's the Sky box?

Clare, Liverpool , “verging on techno-phobic”
Score 8.0/10+ Setting it up the day it arrived was an absolute doddle. Not being the most knowledgable person when it comes to technology, I wondered if I would encounter any problems but it was very straight forward. I now just need to sit down with the booklet to find out its other, more advanced functions. Overall, I love it!
- I haven't noticed any bad points at all.

Score 9.0/10+ Great styling, simple set up, great digital tuner and the analogue tuner which is soon to become obsolete is also surprisingly good. The picture quality is not far short of excellent and the sound quality is very adequate - especially as this TV is used in the study for transferring camcorder tapes to DVD. Input availabiliy is more than enough. Overall a great product.

Score 10.0/10+ I was very impressed with the overall quality of the T.V. sound and picture are great, picture is very sharp. The only downfall is there is no button to switch it of, if I don't want to leave it on stand by I have to switch it off at the wall plug witch is not easy. Apart from that everything is fine.
