We like:
Excellent picture quality; 1080-line resolution; stylish design; features galore
We don't like:
Rubbish video streaming; green line in 1:1 pixel mapping; doesn't support 1080p
You might also need:
Sky HD box and subscription
CNET UK judgement:
There are minor moans here -- the green line at the top of the screen during 1:1 pixel mapping; the half-hearted approach to media streaming; the lack of 1080p support -- but none of these diminish the fact that this TV produces a gorgeous picture -- sharp, detailed, vibrant and largely free from motion artefacts
