First things first...its a very nice looking TV...looks way better in real lif than it does in the pictures. It makes the Samsungs look rather cheap.

I too was a bit put off by the look of the picture under factory settings, but remembered what was said in the review below. Once I had a play around for a minute or two (thats all it took) and adjusted it to my tastes, i was very happy. Skin tones look very natural.

Manual is very easy to follow, and as mentioned in the review below, quite long. But its written very well with lots and lots of illustrations.

Freeview reciever is better quality than the last standalone freeview box i had.

The reason I bought this TV is due to connectivity being 2nd to none when comparing to other screens this size.

It has better sound than my parents Sony Bravia and there is a nice level of Bass present when watching music videos.

My xbox 360 games look amazing through the component connections. There is no motion blur.
