Paul, Horndeam Film and documentary lover

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Excellent quality. LED has to be the way to go re picture quality.. the clarity is superb. The sound quality is very good for such a slim television too.
Bad points:: The screen is quite reflective and you need to consider this when siting it in your viewing room. However, it is only a problem on a sunny day with the window behind the viewer (in my experience)
