Bought this tv about 4 months ago from argos for £299 upon opening the box i was very impressed with the design (very slick indeed).The on off button is touch sensitive (nice touch, excuse pun). The tv boasts quite a few inputs. A vga input, scart input composite connections, HDMI connection (but no lead). The box contained a nice looking remote, c.d drivers, mains cable, vga cable for hooking up to your pc or laptop and audio cable. Setting up the tv was easy enough. The picture quality is excellent and can't fault it. The only let down for me (well its not really a let down just me being an acoustic a@$s) is the sound its a bit thin, but i'll put that down to the room that its in i.e a wood flooring and plastered walls also bear in mind Lcd tvs are thin so you can't expect room shaking sounds. To overcome this minuscule problem i have linked it to a home theater system and it sounds great. Next connected the vga cable into the tv and laptop and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the display, its HUGE, sharp and clear. The viewable distance that i can comfortable use it at is approximately 20ft which is quite impressive for a 22 in tv. Overall this is one of the best 22 in lcd tv out well worth the money

I think wooden floors make sound better but you can't beat having a proper sound system instead of the internal speakers. I've never even connected my Samsung ones up. Big Eltax floorstanders. :)
Advantages: Picture quality on HDTV is impressive; high connectivity for the price; aesthetically flawless. Disadvantages: Future-proof issues with 1xHDMI; consistency issues with connections; black light bleed; sound quite poor.
