This tv is brilliant. A friend from Holland bought the 42inch version and recommended it to me. I bought the 50 inch and its better than the previous model I had. There is nothing bad about it, from the moment I turned it on its been great. I honestly can't speak highly enough about it. I researched which tv to buy for 4 months and in the end I went with this and I'm happy I did. Defo recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely none!

Barry, Haverhill

its big, fairly easy to work on its own, mine came with the surround a sound which gives great sound, dvd player is no so good as it lacks same simple features but once you get use to it its ok. but for the money it great.

the only thing is the screen can't be swiveled and base connection is silver when everything else is black.

nice style and good looking

heavy tv and not full 1080hd and it doesnt knock off when no signal recieved as sky automaticaly shuts off in the early hours of the morning energy saving mode and my old tv would shut itself off if signal was lost for 10mins as i sometimes fall asleep whilst watching tv when i come home from work late at night and that was a handy option on an older tv but is not on this one

easy to use and navigate, smart and great sound

In footie matches the players seem to distort slightly if you sit too near which can be so frustrating if are one of those that can only see best from near distances.

This TV is our second plasma and is larger than our 1st.At first I felt it may be too big but I now feel its a great size for our room.The product has a built in preview and came with a surround sound.The picture can break up at times but on the whole I am very pleased and would certainly reccomend to any potential purchasers.

None that I feel strongly enough to comment on.

Lee, Bridgend

Depth of colour is incredible. I have ours connected to a Denon Home Cinema Amp with both pre and post output amps also by Denon. This is great for wathcing Music Vids and getting the full stereo sound as you would from a dedicated hifi unit. Back to the Tv - I've had a few different brands in many countries but this is absolutely beautiful with BlueRay and is very good at upscaling normal DVD's too. (We use a PS3 as our BlueRay player). Although we never use them, there are great built in analogue and digital tuners too. I would buy plasma over LCD any day with this quality!

Minor bad points - Be careful of the cables you use as some are too fat to allow others to connect to adjacent ports. This is particularly annoying when using non-HDMI cables in my experience. Sound is not great - but then unless you have an enormous living room, and else the sound will played through your home-cinema amp or similar, you wont notice. Buy it!

everything is good about the product, it has a glossy finish, and great value for money for a 50" TV, the price is uncompromisible for it features. too good to be true

remote control is not impressive too much of plastic and looks like a toy.

the size! playing console games is truly awesome! the ease of set up (once in position!) we had no problem sync'ing anything up to the beast. and watching movies is a real pleasure! my partner no longer needs to wear glases to read sub's!

the weight! lifting the TV once the base was attatched was a little tricky! it gives off enough heat to power a smell village, the fan can be a little on the loudside when it is in ful swing!

It hasn't fallen off my wall Seriously though, this design of this thing looks great - and the picture is top notch. Still needing to get a blue-ray player so I can see what hi-def is like, but general picture quality is great.

No VGA input, but I knew that before buying it - that's the only downside to this over similar products by other brands. I just need to upgrade my laptop to something a bit less archaic really to make use of the HDMI ports instead.

good that it has digital tv integrated easy enough to set up. HD looks good esp. blueray dvds.

sound quality not brillant for price as it vibrates if above a certain level. However, had the same problem with last tv so may be something to do with size of room?

Fantastic picture and the built in digital receiver is very useful.

Gets a bit hot after long periods of use (but that's typical of any plasma really).
