Vivith, COVENTRY High spec fanatic

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: 1. Image quality: Images are very clear and vibrant. This TV has 100Hz refresh rate. The scrolling text are very smooth and easy to read.
2. The whole front panel is covered with GorillaGlass, This is the same glass sheet that protects the latest smart phones (such as iPhone4) and tablets. This gives the frame-less design to the screen. Also cleaning finger marks on the screen is very easy. Just use a damp micro fiber cloth and wipe again with a dry soft cloth, No need to buy costly LCD screen cleaner or wipes.
3. Has built in FreeView HD: A plus considering the additional investment to be made on a HD tuner if you buy a TV with just a FreeView tuner
4. Has built in WiFi receiver: Just configure the wireless modem and streaming works flawlessly. No need to buy a costly WiFi dongle (such a ripoff)
Bad points:: 1. The default pedestal stand is bit flimsy and makes the TV to wobble whenever the TV is slightly touched
2. Some of the internet apps don't work.
3. Remote keys are flimsy and TV's response to remote operation is slow. Also searching the web using remote is bit frustrating using T9 keyboard on the remote.
4. Heavy, despite being an LED backlit TV, the whole unit weighs about 27KG. This could be due to the GorillaGlass on the front.
5. 2 HDMI ports that are not on the edge of the TV are practically unusable if you have a very stiff HDMI cable.
6. No support for many popular media file formats such as MKV, flv, etc. Plays jpeg, mp3, mp4 without any problem.
7. Audio quality is somewhat ok as most of the other LED TVs don't fare any good in this department.
8. USB port may not support all disk drives. My TV failed to open a 500GB 2.5" USB powered disk. However, playing from a thumb drive is not a problem.

Good points:: Nice clear picture, easy to follow menus.
Bad points:: Sound could be better. Best to use a separate sound system to get most out of HD films

Noopy, Trafford Sports and games fan

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: The TV looks stunning whether on or off. Picture quality (when viewing High Definition content) is as good as you would expect.
Bad points:: Menu system is not as intuitive thought through as I would hope for and neither is the remote control. Something not mentioned unless you ask very determinedly, is that the Picture and Picture (PAP) mode, only supports one HDMI source (as only one HDMI decoder) and you cannot vary the sizes of the PAP screens (this is something my outgoing Sony WEGA CRT could do).

Amina, Abergavenny Film and documentary lover

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Very easy to set up and use.
Bad points:: The guide menu when you select a channel automatically closes so you have to go back to the guide menu if you are not happy with your choice. The old Sony guide is better because it allows you to preview the channel before you choose and exit.

It is a pity the internet options cannot be upgraded to include Skype.

Still a bit of room reflection on the screen.

Product Features

Screen size (Inches)	46
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Type of screen	LED
Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
3D	No

HD TV	Full HD 1080p
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing. HD Ready TVs must have • Minimum resolution of 720 horizontal lines (in widescreen format) • Ability to display 720p and 1080i formats • An HDMI or Digital Video Interface (DVI interface) Full HD is a higher standard. Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second. Full HD is becoming common, but you won’t see Full HD on normal TV channels for a long time, so it remains optional for many people.
Built-in disc player	No Disc Player
Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.
Freeview or Freesat tuner	Freeview
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service. The main benefit is that you can get HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You’ll need a dish to recieve the signals though.
Number of HDMI ports	4
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of scart ports	2
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.
Connections	HDMI

Connections	Ethernet

Smart TV	Yes
TVs with internet capability allow you access to a range of online services.
Frequency (Hz)	100
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.
Type of LED screen	Edge-lit
LED-backlit screens can either be ‘edge-lit’ or ‘local dimming’. Local dimming means that diodes in different areas of the screen can be independently switched on and off, allowing better contrast and black levels. Edge-lit screens lack the deep blacks and extreme contrast of local dimming, but can be even thinner.
Screen aspect ratio	16:09
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	1000000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Reflection angle	178
Also known as the viewing angle, it’s a measure of how good the picture looks when you are not face on to the screen. Higher is better.
Horizontal resolution (Pixels)	192

Vertical resolution (Pixels)	1080
