"Great Price"
What I like:
Stunning PC and HD images
What I don't like:
Terrible SD performance
Review:
By all means this screen is very good for the price, and if you are using Windows MCE the PC images are better than i have seen on even Panasonic plasmas. But when you hook up your Sky+ box via the RGB scart, the picture is dire. The digital noise is just unbearable, when you watch football, you can't make out faces or features of the players. Get this screen if you are going to hook up an HD feed or buy a scaler but if you are going to watch standard def through it, avoid it like the plague.

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
