"Best value for money, very future proof"
What I like:
Twin HDMI, Freeview, picture quality
What I don't like:
No digital audio I/O and no multiwindow for when I want to keep an eye on the CCTV
Review:
Connect a HTPC, gaming console (Xbox 360 or PS3) and Sky HD or Telewest TV-Drive, and a decent home cinema system for digital sound... and you're laughing.
This piece of art will up-convert standard definiton to Hi-def. The best thing is the way it handles 1080p sources - very future proof.
I like the Freeview, it's very important for when the UK goes digital broadcasting from 2008-2012.

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
