Advantages: Good looking and durable Disadvantages: Gives off noticeable heat
Having owned this TV for going on 2 years now I have to say that I have never regretted buying it. I have it mounted on the wall in my living room and it looks fantastic.

Advantages: Cheap, Quality Built T.V, Good graphics Disadvantages: Not 1080p, Sound Not all that
Purchased this television about a year ago from a store in Tottenham Court Rd in London, for those who are unaware.

The television is a decent bit of kit. i think you'll be astonished at how big a 50" is. you dont reialse it, until you get home and switch it on for the first time. Good points:
Great looking design and remote ... ...major buttons light up in orange! easy to install, 3 HDMI sockets and feels fantastically well built. Cheap for a 50" quality television. Built in freeveiw tv.
Bad Points: Volume cannot be turned up to loud as it distorts the picture image. Black colours not all that great. Wall mount isn't included in the package. Not 1080p. Overall:
Great buy for the price, but still i dont think can compete with the big boys from Japan, such as Sony, Panasonic, ...
