+ Superb Design, Image quality fantastic, Unbelievable amount of options to customise in setup menus.
Not really tested the TV sound much as I put it all through a home cinema system having said that what I have tried seems to be very good for tv speakers. The price I paid, was jaw droppingly value for money

- Cannot fault this TV

Aaran, Ferndown

Score 8.0/10

+ Excellent desing finished in Piano Black, really good picture although not 1080p it is well worth the money and my Xbox 360 and HD movies look great.

- Sound has practicaly no bass which is a let down so would reccomend you couple this with a surround sound unit. It's ok with normal TV viewing but with movies when you turn it up to a decent level the bass distorts a bit. Other than that excellent TV.
