Advantages: Good quality picture and sound. Generally reliable.

Disadvantages: Poor quality in-built freeview.

Considering this is one of the better-priced TVs in this size range it is hard to find considerable fault, and anyone purchasing this TV will no doubt be impressed with the picture and sound quality.

I bought this as my first 'proper' TV, after living on 14" portable TVs while at University, and obviously the jump in size impressed. However I can now be more partial having experienced other TVs. The picture quality is sharp particularly when viewing in HD, and the sound quality is crisp and clear. There are sufficient Scart and HDMI ports to cater for the most technology-loving family without the need for major rearrangement.

However there is still a feeling of budget with this TV. The remote is often unresponsive and tough to use, and the inbuilt freeview is prone to freezing. It is also unreliable with the TV guide and many times requires turning off and on in order to see what is actually being shown. Either that or there is a new TV show "Not Currently Available" that is taking the nation by storm and being shown on every channel on repeat.

However this problems are insignificant in the grand scheme of things and overall anyone purchasing this TV will be happy with an impressive set-up.

Summary: Definitely worth a purchase although does lack many features seen in more expensive ranges.
