Anthony, Wetherby Occasional TV watcher

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Excellent design in terms of appearance.
Bad points:: Image particularly sensitive to interference - in comparison with our other set (Panasonic Bravia).
Set does not have the facility of the red button - it is a bother to find alternative channels.

Picture Quality
Excellent TV Guide function and layout
Value for money
Bad points:: Slow to turn on and switch channels.
Sound has to be turned up quite high (no 20/100) or maybe my hearing is deteriorating!

Steve, London Multi task

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: Sleek design, simple layout of remote control. Built in DVD player was excellent no wires no additional power supplies and again was easy to use from the remote control.
Bad points:: Very slow EPG function, it sometimes didn't refresh at all. Sound isn't brilliant in either volume or depth of sound. All a little dissapointing.

Eric, Multi-purpose viewer

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Excellent bedroom set especially in white. Very easy to set up and picture is first class.
Bad points:: Pity about the sound. Probably inevitable that the sound from from a small set is not all that good, but this set is very poor for sound. Seems like someone is at the end of a telephone.
