"Does what it says on the box"

What I like:

HD picture and sound are pretty good

What I don't like:

Freeview image not the best

Review:

The inbuilt free view on this TV is awful. The free view looks cartoon like and soft. Standard definition signal via a scart lead using a source such as a Sky box is better, but via a Sky HD box using a certified 1080p HDMI cable the image is excellent and so is the sound. HD content is also pretty amazing and the difference between this set and a 100mhz set is negligible DVD's via a scart are also pretty good, the TV upscales the images well. Blueray HD images are awesome and improve standard definition DVD's via HDMI more so than via scart lead on a standard DVD player. All in all this TV is a good buy, but don't buy it if you intend to use the in built free view, you will have wasted your money. At around £550 online this TV is an absolute steal. Make sure you review this TV 6.6 rating by CNET is a touch insulting for such a good set.
