When our Panasonic 26" CRT began to expire after many years good service we chose one of these. The 700 has proved to be an excellent replacement. It's been with us over 9 months now. Important features include 100Hz which gives an improved frame rate making action sequences run more smoothly. The picture quality on Freeview is brilliant. Even the display of black is good which is a triumph for an LCD screen. Its speakers are well designed and enabled us to scrap the hi-fi. Our music now plays back back over the TV in mp3 format without any extra paraphernalia. This TV is very easy to set up and control.
