Score 8.0/10+ Full HD, Excellent picture, easy to use remote and wide viewing angle. Case is simple and pleasing. The front panel controls are very discreet - almost invisible in some lights.
- Sound quality is rather harsh and lets the experience down.Delving into the menu's only gives marginal improvement.I am an older person who has excellent hearing which has not been damaged by LOUD DISCO's etc. All I require is clear precise sound. I have overcome what I think is the sound limitation by feeding the sound through my Hi-Fi .

Score 9.0/10+ design very good. The best picture I have seen on any set in the price range.
- I think the sound is not so good, but what do you expect when the set is so thin. I feel that the addition of a 2-1 or 5-1 sound system added will make the package hard to beat.
