Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Seems fine. Nothing much to compare it to be honest but does have a few good bits like the energy saver button which gives you the option to switch off the picture while keeping the sound (useful if listening to one of the radio channels).
Bad points:: Sometimes picture doesn't always seem that sharp. Sound quality nothing special.

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Does exactly what I expected it to do. Loads of inputs for Sky, games console, computer, external hard drive etc. Plays Divx direct from usb drive. Sound is as good as expected but always need to use a home cinema 5.1 in my opinion. Great prduct priced competitively.
