We like:
Styling; price; sound; menus and EPG are well laid out and crystal clear
We don't like:
Freeview performance; sharper LCD TVs are available at this price

Sony Bravia EX1 (KDL-52EX1)
An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive
Philips Cinema 21:9 (56PFL9954H/12)
Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most
JVC Xiview LT-42WX70
Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
