5.0 out of 5 stars Fantabilious!!, 24 Jun 2008
Got this television today from another retailer, was a little skeptical about buying it as there are not many reviews about it. Therefore i thought i would help you all who are considering it.

First things first, the television looks fantastic, smart, sophisticated looking. Once you get it out of the box you just need to literally clip it onto the stand which is incredibly easy. Then simply plug it in and you are well away. firstly it automatically searches for your terrestrial channels then goes on to search for the digital ones as it has freeview built in which is a big plus and less boxes messing up your tv area.

I personally bought this tv for use in my bedroom and university room i think its a ideal size for medium sized rooms. I also have a playstation 3 which is connected to it via hdmi. The graphics looks fantastic be sure to use the 'game mode' feature on the television for the best outcome.

The television picture is fantastic on standard definition i have no high definition television channels so i cannot comment on them but i can ensure you that they are most likely going to be amazing. The sound from the telly is perfect for medium rooms, after reading allot of reviews for other products i read allot of people complaining about the sound but personally i think its more than sufficient on this television. Was watching the tennis on it earlier and it looked clear and crisp i will look forward to watching the football onit!

The tv also has pc input on it which i have used briefly with my macbook plugged into it, picture is nice and clear.

overall i rate this tv very highly and would recommend it to anyone. I hope my review has helped!

Steve

4.0 out of 5 stars Its great for a bedroom - not sure as a main TV, 20 Aug 2008
By C. Gill (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought one for the bedroom so I thought I'd give it a 2 second review if anyone else is interested. I'm not an expert at in in these things so dont expect a detailed review

I wall mounted the TV - which was easier than I thought seeing as the wall is not load bearing (you need to buy a stud locator and drill into the wood). The TV looks good on the wall and (as most TVs) is really easy to setup. The menus are really intuitive and the remote pretty straightforward (I have a Denon surround sound system downstairs with the most unusable remote ever).

The picture is OK - when the TV is on buit the screen is blank you can clearly see quite large variations of lighting across the screen. I dont care as its fit for my use, but I'm guessing you wont want this if you want a top spec setup. During normal TV watching, I quite like the picture. Watching football looks OK and doesnt give me headaches

The worst thing on the TV is the sound. I have a new baby so have the sound turned down quite low quite often. The sound quality is pretty poor really at this level and its often difficult to understand speech until the sound is turned up to what I'm guessing would be normal listening levels.

I dont use the TV for any HD content so I cant actually comment on that, although it does have many (I think 3) HDMI ports in good locations to plug into. I have plugged by laptop in to watch some DVDs and that looks fine.

All in all its fine for a TV in the bedroom, but I wouldnt have it as a main TV. I'd want something a bit more amazing with the black levels and sound to make me feel like I'm having an experience

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed bag, 11 Jan 2009
By LORD BEAU (London, England.) - See all my reviews
This telly has some good points, but it suffers from one major drawback which is a VERY NARROW VIEWING ANGLE. If you are sitting straight in front of it, then it's a sparkling crisp colourful pictures. Move about one foot either way both the detail and colour drain from the photo.

Get too close to it, and it's very artificial, so you might want to switch off the "edge enhancement". Otherwise, the SD picture is good and the HD picture (though only 720) is very good indeed. However, you need to be fairly close to notice the difference. There rae 3 HDMI connections which is also very positive.

The sound is dreadful and sounds as if it is being played through a telephone. Luckily, there are L&R red and white phono outputs so you can play it through an amp.

Menu is OK and the remote control is actually a lot better than some pricier models.
