Quick review

The good: It looks fantastic, HD performance is excellent, a massive range of connectivity including HDMI, USB and Ethernet ports, HD up to 1080i
The bad: You really need HD to get the most from this LCD, it is quite, no 1080p support, expensive, fairly bulky
Verdict: Image quality, a massive range of connections and the magnificent full surround Ambilight make for breathtaking performance
