Full review

When buying a large TV 42inch and over i would always recommend a plasma. Movies look amazing and the response time for quick action movies and sport cannot be matched by LCD.

Picture from the freeview tuner is impressive and the epg is useful if you don't have sky or cable. However when this TV really shows of is when you give it some HD content. I watched casino royale on bluray in glorious 1080p and i was amazed i felt like i was there the picture was so crisp clear and the skin tones and shadows were incredible.

What is also a bonus with this set is the sound quality, the best i have heard from a tv without the aid of surround sound cinema equipment. The sound is clear and if you tweak with the settings and turn the bass to almost full you get a real boost to those explosions and action scenes. However at high volumes the back panel shakes and a slight rattle can be heard at high bass points but its very slight.

If you are looking to buy a large TV for your main room look no further i would suggest buying a bluray player or up scaling DVD player with a decent HDMI cable to really let this TV do its stuff
