Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Picture is truly excellent, looks good and a wealth of additional features in apps and plays digital content from USB, network and so on - i.e. has a fully fledged built-in media player.
Bad points:: Sound is ok for general tv but does not match the quality of the picture. Really could do with a qwerty keyboard for text entry in the browser and other apps.

Ed, Malvern Multi-purpose viewer

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Fantastic picture and very immersive 3D quality. All the ports we could possibly want especially with it having four HDMI ports. Very good black contrast and still great in daylight. The best part is easily the price.
Bad points:: None, it's fantastic for the price!
