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.

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
