Lee, Birmingham Multi-purpose viewer

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Where to start! This TV has everything just built-in - Internet connectivity, Freeview HD, plenty of USB, HDMI and Component feeds to ensure there's room for every possible peripheral device. The image is crisp, it's easy to set-up, the remote control is intuitive and everything is accessible.
Bad points:: The ONLY thing that I marked this TV down on was the design and that was only because it was a bit 'ordinary'. For a TV this exceptional, I would have liked a little zazz in the design - maybe a thinner bevel, some more display options with the stand, etc. (although the TV does rotate on the stand, which is good). It might be harsh, but whilst the TV is awesome, it only _looks_ great...
