"The best picture I have seen on any screen."
What I like:
Excellent Freeview tuner, stunning HD image with Xbox 360, fantastic colours and blacks
What I don't like:
It isn't cheap, but got a free DVD recorder, £150 worth of cables, £200 off and interest-free credit
Review:
The picture on this was better than any other screen I looked at. The freeview tuner is better than I thought it would be - the tv images are very good and I live in a weak signal area. Obviously the DVD picture is fantastic, as is the HD output from my Xbox 360 - if someone could tell me whether it should be 720p or 1080i that would be great but both work and both look fantastic, (I think the 1080i has a slight flicker to it).
This is the best screen I could find - it even comes with a decent wall bracket. Superb!

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
