Review:
This TV is possibly one of the best, true HD TVs on the market - and also the cheapest. If you are looking for a TV that is going to display true 1080i HD then this is the one for you. Don't get caught out like I nearly did when I was looking for a HD TV, as lots of TVs on the market will only (support) 1080i not (display) 1080i. This is what you want to look out for when you are about to spend loads of your hard earned dosh for a TV that will be out of date before you even walk it out of the shop. A lot of TVs will support 1080i but will only display 720p resolution, so if you want to get the best out of a TV, I strongly suggest you take a long hard look at what the TV you are about to splash out on actually has to offer. I am sure I made the right decisiion by chooosing this TV - superb pic quality for the price.

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
