Good points:: very stylish and great picture quality.
Bad points:: sound volume through TV speakers is low and even on full volume it is still poor. Also there is a vibration at the back of the TV when volume is high and bass sounds are present. At times it sounds like a "blown" speaker. When I am watching movies or listening to music I have the sound through my stereo speakers so there is no problem for me, but still it is a little annoying that the TV speakers are are so underpowered and of poor quality.

‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing.

Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV.

Number of scart ports	2
