Valerie, East Sussex Multi-purpose viewer

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: For the money it can't be beaten. Great picture although it's fantastic in HD. For land and cityscapes you really feel like you're in there. Just brilliant. Sound needs pushing up quite a bit, but connected to a surround-sound set-up I've not heard better.
Bad points:: Seriously can not come up with any.

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: decent enough picture, very sharp if it's HD, standard def looks pretty good too, as long as you are few metres back. Beatiful looking TV, being used in a conference room.
Bad points:: not sure about the one glass sheet cover, especially if it's mounted on the wall, take care when lifting it.
