Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Excellant picture although getting on in age I cannot see a difference with using blueray against a standard upscaling DVD player but its early days. I think that the best part of the set is the way that the screen does not have surround to it I would recommend buyers to consider this model although no doubt its now been superceeded..... easy use of controls.
Bad points:: none todate
