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.

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.

Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
