Pedro, London

+ It has a very pleasing picture & the sound is good & doesn't distort when u put it high & retains a bit of bass. Remote control is simple (my mother can use it no problem!) & it has HDMI & PC connections - so good overall package with good picture & sound.

- Good be a little bit more slimline the tv - but at time i bought it didn't seem thick but these days slimmer & sliimmer models being released! Also only quibble is freeview program guide - you can only view one channel's program listing at the time & u have to go to each channel before u can see the program guide for it. They should have had a program guide so u could view all channels on one page. That's only gripe.

+ Looks good, picture quality is excellent and sound quality is good

- Although the sound quality is good the maximum volume is a little on the quiet side if you are looking for a cinema experience. Having said that, it is perfect for a bedroom or kitchen.

+ The design is sleek and attractive.

- The picture is very dark and it is not possible to change the brightness to make this better so if you are buying to put on a bedroom wall it is probably not the TV for you.

+ Will play MP3's stored on a data CD/ USB memory stick, will show pictures straight from your camera (composite video) or SD card. We have it wall mounted and works very well. Its a combo analogue/digital tv with the ability to play DVD's - just what we were looking for.

- The (DigitalTV) "EPG" seems to only allow you to view the channel you are on - you cannot bring up a list of all the channels/programmes. CD/DVD slot is on righthand side. the teletext font (on analogue tv) is poor
