I decided to treat myself to a decent TV after years of having a small old tv that was on it's way out and I opted for the Baird PR42. It is full HD (1080p) with Niacom stereo.
I must say though this is an amazing television! The picture is faultless, the sound perfect and the general appearance is smooth and sleek.

Installation & Instructions - It is so easy to install you literally just plug the cables in and everything is working. It's set to all standard picture and sound quality but it is easily changed in the menu. The intruction booklet is easy to understand and complete with all details necessary to work the television to the best of it's ability.

Functions & Features - The menu on the screen is easy to understand and use, there are already set styles such as 'movie, standard, music, sports' etc for sound which I find very helpful instead of trying to find the perfect combination of bass and treble all the time.
The picture quality can be adjusted easily with many options for brightness and contrast. It is also easy to center the picture. And the menu just goes through all options to fiddle aorund with but also gives set options to adjust easily to various things you want to watch.
There are alot of ports on the back of the screen, only a few of which being 4 HDMI slots, a PC output, 2 scart leads. I think that this is an excellent TV to also use as a PC screen as it is large and clear, it would be excellent for on-line gaming.

Value for money - I think this television is worth every penny. It's that simple I truly do adore it. The remote control comes with it, the picture is brilliant, the sound clear without any interferance from other electronics and you can even pic up around 30 freeview channels!
