Neil, Caithness Film and documentary lover

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Looks lovely. Wireless link from monitor to control box means less clutter of wires.
Bad points:: Wireless link cannot support 24fps picture - this can only be done with an HDMI wire direct from BluRay player to monitor.

Chris, Multi-purpose viewer

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: Wireless is such a superb feature. Neat and tidy and great to look at with the white border. Shame all screens now have black frames as they impose i a small room, whereas this one blends in much better
Bad points:: Keeps losing wireless connection and remote keeps needing to be reset (battery out)
