Colin, Croydon

+ Excellent picture quality, and facility to link sound to my hi-fi, giving superb stereo sound. (The TV speakers on their own are adequate, but as with all TVs, there's a limit to the quality that 1" speakers can deliver!) Operating the menu system is easy enough when required, and links to other devices such as DVD/HD Recorder work perfectly.

- Turning subtitles on (and off) involves going through 'Tools', then 'Subtitle Setting', and then 'Basic' on the remote control before pressing another two buttons to get back to the TV. It would have been preferable to have a dedicated button for one-touch switching subtitles on/off, as on our Sony HD Recorder.

Lorraine, Welling, Kent , “Disgruntled Spurs fan!”

+ If you have HD, then the picture quality is superb. When you see the tv in the shop using HD, it's impressive - but when you get it home, if you don't have HD, can be a little disappointing. But Sony is good, one of the best for the price on the ratio aspect.

- sound level on plasmas is never very good. Have to go to level 30 for it to be loud enough, but sound quality is good, with different options (stadium, surround, etc).

- Nothing is perfect, but the only thing which annoys me is that it shows the dust and needs to be cleaned daily.

- Although this is supposed to be one of the best (along with Panasonic) for sound quality I think the sound is disappointing - but this is a problem with all flat panel LCDs. Hook it up to decent external speakers and its great!

+ Excellent picture from an HD source, my PS3 looks amazing and playing Blu Ray under theatre mode looks great.Really good blacks, no motion blur when watching football or playing games and plenty of conectivity options.

- Non HD picture looks a little drab, takes a while to set up picture to an ideal level, not tried freeview as I have sky.
