Awesome standard- and high-definition image quality; solid build; 1080p compatible
We don't like:
No Scarts, tuner or speakers; very expensive

HDMI cable; Sky HD box; Xbox 360; BNC-to-phono component adaptor

Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
