| Review summary | While this TV doesn't really stand out in terms of performance or design, it's a strong all-rounder with solid build quality, a decent range of features and a bright, vibrant picture. Not a bad buy at this price Read full review |
If big, beautiful hi-def pictures are what you're after, this 52-incher delivers the goods. Bold but realistic colours, strong black levels and the smoothest motion we've seen on an LCD, married with good connectivity and design, make this one of the finest big screen flat panels around Read full review |

An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive

Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most

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