Score 9.0/10+ An all round excellent television. Very easy to install and set up and comes with a remote handset that you dont need a degree in nuclear fission to work. A very attractive set with electronic programme guide further adding to the excellent value for money.

Score 9.0/10+ Beautiful design, great picture with lots of clarity and crystal clear images and colours all for a very competitive price. Something of this size and this range of options costs at least 30% more from other manufacturers.
- Not convinced by how fast the screen refreshes. Some motion blur and odd effects when things move quickly across the screen. To be honest, I can't tell if this is me not knowing how to set the TV up properly (in which case the instructions aren't clear!) or it just doesn't refresh at the high rate it claims to, which I'm sure can't be the case either. So, great picture most of the time but not great all of the time. Good enough for me, to be fair.

Score 8.0/10+ It's easy use, picture quality is good and its good value for money.
- The sound quality is poor as you have to put volume setting very high to get sound

GORDON, BRISTOL ENGLAND
Score 9.0/10+ electronic programme guide excellent fills up the full screen easy to see and read
- chrome piece at bottom of screen but not important

David, Cornwall , “Occasional TV watcher” More like this »
Score 8.0/10+ Easy set up including links to old recorders etc. Simple and up and running in minutes. Great picture and sound and for everyday TV great buy.
- Some of the instructions for special adjustments/features written in gobledeegook. Still cannot get photos to show from a USB. Some of the menus need a degree in 'Sharpology' to understand but if you just want to watch TV you do not need them. Attracts dust to high gloss finishes and seems impossible to clean screen without smearing. Needs a good antistatic cleaner but have not found one yet.

Score 8.0/10+ Good looking, good value for money, easy to set up.
- Shadowing on picture images in some programmes, but I think this will improve as digital transmission improves.
