Speakers tucked below the screen make for a compact, but sombre looking television. With high-definition footage this television is the best here - especially with Amblight activated. DVD is also impressive, but Freeview is less good. The sound has lots

This set's silver and black colouring is attractive, and it's well finished. Picture quality is impressive, especially with High-Definition, with lots of detail and good colours. Freeview images are less impressive, with jagged edges and motion blurring.

Speakers below the screen make this LCD very compact. The black body and silver table-top stand are very living room friendly. HD image quality is impressive, with excellent detail levels and good contrast. Standard definition is well served too.

Attractive looking TV with clean black and silver lines and good looking optional stand. It looks very classy. Impressive picture with high-definition source or up-scaled DVD discs, but is let down by poor standard definintion performance from Freeview.
