After our 23" Samsung LCD losing its sound output, my father decided to buy a new TV, and he decided this was the best option. This Panasonic viera TV really is great. It was easy to install when we first plugged it in, if memory serves me correctly, I just plugged it in and it updated automatically! I use it with my xbox 360, my HD set top box. The remote is large, and easy to use, with many functions on it. It also makes it easy to switch between the TV and all the things connected to my tv.

Use with in built freeview
The tv works well with the inbuilt free view. The picture is fantastic, and the colours also look great. The sound is also good, and as I often found on our old TV, if the sound was turned up to loud, it seemed to vibrate the tv, making a horrible noise. There's none of that here. Crisp sound, and as loud as you want. There are a number of settings, such as the sound, the colour, the size, and other things. The guide on the freeview is good, and really easy to use, and find things.

Use with HD set top box
The best way I find to see the difference between HD and normal is when watching the football. I'll start watching the game on standard definition, and then remember we have HD, so I'll put it on, and even then I don't really notice the difference. But when I flip back, the standard definition looks all fuzzy, the colours look crap, and just the viewing experience isn't as pleasurable. You can't believe that's what you usually watch! The picture on HD is sharp, the colours bright and vibrant. The picture really is wonderful.

Use with xbox 360
Before we got this TV, I used my xbox on the Samsung 23" we had, without the HDMI cable. The picture was alright, but it was hard to distinguish between some colours, especially on one game I had, where there was a green and red line, and it was hard to see where they met because it was all fuzzy. So we got this Tv and it was pretty much the same, and then my dad bought an HDMI cable for it. The main difference I noticed was an increased sharpness and better colours, mostly visable on football games. The quality of the picture is definitely alot better with this TV and the 1080p feature.

Overall, this is the best TV in the house by far, and it really is great to watch.
