General Comments

My one of these beauties arrived a couple of days ago, and I'm in love. Straight out of the box, installation is a doddle and the remote is simple and easy to navigate. The unit itself is fairly tall without the cabinet and sits nicely at head-height if you're sitting on your sofa. In terms of its depth, it's a good bit thinner than my old 28" widescreen telly that the Tosh is replacing.

Once up and running, you notice straight away what a superb picture you get from the TV; after all the warnings from my collegues that it'd be fuzzy, it was a delight to see just how sharp and bright the image is on-screen, with no discernable flicker.

In terms of its connectivity, there's plenty of holes to plug things into and the general build quality of the unit seems very high. The only (tiny) niggle about the telly is that when you stand up, the picture suddenly looks dimmer. It's actually quite cool though as you sit down, and suddenly the screen looks incredible again, reminding you just how amazing this unit is.

At £1000 it's dear, but you can certainly appreciate what your money is getting you!
