Most helpful reviewspatrick, Buckingamshire Multi-purpose viewer
- Good points:
- Superb picture & good broadband connectivity
- Bad points:
- Awful sound which took a lot of adjustment before it was tolerable due to minute inbuilt speakers. Would be much better if it could be connected directly to external speakers instead of having to route through a sound system

- Good points:
- Lovely looking TV, great on bluray
- Bad points:
- Blacks are no where near what I had expected on a high definition player. Planet Earth looks almost fuzzy with the blacks in the caves.

Steven, Cranwell Multi-purpose viewer
- Good points:
- Standard (not 3D) picture is great
- Bad points:
- Sound is far from brilliant - but what would you expect from a thin TV at that orice?! Pair with decent system from optical out and you are sorted.
