John, Cheshire High spec fanatic
- Good points:
-
Very nice quality remote control.
Smart speaker design.
Could do with four HDMI inputs. - Bad points:
-
A dedicated subwoofer output would be a big advantage & not tie up your analogue audio out.
Nice looking TV,but frame edge is a little wide.
Can't justify expense in making frame & stand blue metallic.
Pity it arrived before HD.

Dave, Middlesbrough Multi-purpose viewer
- Good points:
- Excellent design, a really good looking tv, if you want a tv that looks good in your living room this is the one. This is the first time i have bought a 46" screen having previously owned a 40" and was worried it would look 'to big' but its design makes it blend in and not be overstated. The picture quality is outstanding even when not watching in HD and live sport is fantastic, the sound quality is fine having read some previous reveiws saying it wasn't the greatest but unless your a sound tech you wont be dissapointed. Its easy to install, just plug it in and it sorts itself out.
- Bad points:
- Now the bad bit, after only 3 weeks the screen decided to pack up, ie. i had a load of vertical lines the whole way across the screen, and needed a new screen fitted, i phoned the service centre and a service engineer came out the next day, which is good but surely questions need to be asked after only 3 weeks.
