Score 7.0/10

Good points:: very good picture ONLY when used with HD channels !! if not got HD then better off buying a smaller screen i think. Good connectivity, HDMI, USB, SCART etc...
Looks good.
Bad points:: As above, picture quality not good without HD, especially fast moving sports, very blocky or ghosting around footballers !!
These flat screens not all there made out to be !!! Don't be fooled, in the shops the picture does look good, but almost all must have an HD signal coming in, bit dissapointing when you first plug it in to your digital ariel.

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: My new LG 42LH7000 which i recently purchased is a an absolutely brilliant television. It boasts a gorgeous black shiny frame with a hint of red-orange at the base of the front. The TV is gorgeous even when not in use.Once switched on ,the circle on the front panel lights up red and then changes to blue once the power button is depressed followed byb a little piano type melody which lets the user know the TV is about to come on,pure bliss...
The picture quality is top notch and the blacks are very dark which is important.The 100 HZ at first made me think of a hand held cameraman filming everything but after a week i was hooked.How did i ever put up with the standard 50 HZ i now ask myself! The sound quality is excellent and the remote control is nice and easy to use,the on screen displays are colourful and also excellent.Yes this LG 42LH7000 is simply a SUPER TV which i for one would give 100/100!!!
Bad points:: Absolutely none!

HD TV	Full HD 1080p
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing. HD Ready TVs must have • Minimum resolution of 720 horizontal lines (in widescreen format) • Ability to display 720p and 1080i formats • An HDMI or Digital Video Interface (DVI interface) Full HD is a higher standard.

Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service.

Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of scart ports	2
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.
