Compared with the Sony/Pioneer/Philips and JVC models on offer I felt the Individual 32 had the sharpest picture, displayed the greatest amount of detail and produced the best sound amongst the 20 or so available.

I went (window) shopping for a Sony plasma TV and came home with a Loewe LCD.

The special offer in House of Fraser that day made the TV irresistible.
The initial setup is easy, and It has built in freeview, connecting it up to Sky HD via HDMI is a doddle, however a second HD source can only connect via the component connectors.
The Individual 32 will allow you to connect via HDMI, Scart, S-VHS, Component (Phono) and a traditional RF antenna. Most importantly you can do it easily - once you have spent 20 minutes reading the manual.
The only negative I can find is that a Sky controller does not allow you to change the volume - mute yes - but no change to the level.
In short if you can afford it buy one - the quality is superb, especially when you get a true HD source and see the system at its best.
