Picture is excellent but sound lets unit down
(4 out of 5) by Mr. Peter C. Thomas on Feb 1, 2008 (Guildford, UK)The picture quality is amazing, hooked up to an xBox 360 set to 1080i is a huge difference to my old 32" LCD. Viewing angle is incredible and the unit looks very sexy mounted on the wall.
The only let down for me - and this is something I hate and can notice easily - is the sound quality. Compared to a Toshiba 32WLT66s unit I am constantly having to change the preset equaliser settings to remove the horrible tinny or -ve feedback from the speakers. Feature wise this unit lacks against the Toshiba and could do with more settings/better quality.
Picture in picture only works with analogue and component/AV1/AV2 inputs - so if you thought about watching digital TV with sky at the same time, forget it.
Setup was easy - plugged it in, switched on and within 5 minutes, 4 clicks of the remote the unit was up and running.
I wish that the unit sounded better - I'm going to invest in a top end home cinema unit now that will compensate for the overall excellent unit.

I love it I love it I LOVE it
(5 out of 5) by Mr. C. O'connor on Dec 18, 2007 (London, UK)What more can I say?
Excellent picture quality (with slight adjustments to the colour), there are more than enough connection points for my DVD, xbox, Sky and then anything else I want and it's so easy to set-up how you want.
Excellent Price!

Just buy it!
(5 out of 5) by Brian Benson on Dec 16, 2007 (Shropshire)You will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a TV with a stunning picture and you are not sure whether this is for you as it has no feedback do not worry you will not be disappointed. buy it and grab yourself a bargain before they are all gone!
The picture is superb, even if you are close or are looking from the side.

Amazing TV
(5 out of 5) by Sufyaan Kazi on Jan 11, 2008 (Surrey, UK)Just bought this TV. I don't have any HD equipment, just regular kit and some old fashioned scart leads. This TV is excellent, the size is huge, Lord of the Rings was great, so much detail. Awesome!!
