Bernie, London , “Blue eyes”

+ Nice quality, good picture and it looks good too.

- The sound is awful.There is an audio menu but you don't get much improvement.I did read about this problem before purchase and thought it wouldn't be too much of a problem but it really is bad. Luckily I had some USB powered speakers and I plugged these in.Its a great improvement.There are lots of inputs and outputs so its not a prob.I still like it but do be aware of the sound troubles.

Lee, Hertfordshire

+ Nice Design

- A slight wave going through the screen and takes a while to switch through channels. However this could be to do with the freeview quality in my area.
100% would buy another one if had a 3rd room.
