"Cooler than a polar bear in a refrigerator"
What I like:
Great picture, low price, full of features, great looking
What I don't like:
The sound isn't the best but still better than most TVs for the same price
Review:
I recently upgreaded my 37" LCD TV for this 42" Leviathan. It's big but will fit comfortably in any sized living room (mine is tiny). It's also amazingly cheap at only £800, and I have to say it's the best £800 I've ever spent. I love this TV! The picture's great, the sound's good, it looks gorgeous and it's packed with features like picture-in-picture, which I've always wanted. The remote is heavy and durable and the buttons are very responsive, although not ideally placed. The remote is also universal, which means you can operate any VCR from it.
If you've been waiting for an affordable plasma TV which looks great then I can highly recommend this one. Go on, treat yourself.

Beautiful styling, superlative performance and an endless feature set make for a truly premium experience
Sony Bravia Z5800 (KDL-40Z5800)
Sony's first freesat set is one of the best-performing TVs we've seen from the company so far
Toshiba Regza SV (46SV685DB)
It's a very good TV indeed, but we're not convinced the price is justified
Samsung B7020WW (UE55B7020WW)
Could have been one of the best TVs we've seen were it not for the serious backlight inconsistency
