I did a lot of research when I bought my LCD TV, but I just couldn't find a set that satisfied my want for great picture and great sound. I liked the predecessor - the TX60 - but was a little disappointed by the viewing angle, so decided to buy the TX600 when it first emerged, expecting it's "all-angle" screen was going to be the main improvement over the otherwise impressive TX-60. I was not wrong. The first time I powered this up I couldn't help but grin. Picture was just like a CRT, and the sound is faultless.

The in-built freeview decoder produces a faultless image, though there's no indication whether this will be able to decode Hi definition signals when they're broadcast. There's every input under the sun for plugging in more devices.

The remote looks and feels good quality, though the button placement is a little spread about.

Low-power standby of 0.4W should make this a winner for the energy-conscious.

The SD card slot is nice, but it's not a reason to buy - the record-to-SD feature is extremely limited in its quality, even at highest details. The photo displayer is okay, but it's really only useful if you have a Panasonic LUMIX camera to pair with it.

Other small niggles: Panasonic still stick with their rather dull teletext-like interface, and it would have been good to have "sound mode" and "video mode" buttons on the remote, But to be honest, my only real disappointment is that I didn't buy the next size up!
