Good Points

Excellent picture quality with a HD source (PS3, Bluray etc.) and surprisingly good SD quality. The sound is a lot better than I had expected it to be (normally on a flat panel lcd the sound is slightly "lack-luster" but LG's new invisible speakers are fantastic - I had thought we might need surround sound but the built in speakers are more than adequate. The 100Hz mode makes for crystal clear motion with no blurring I have experienced as of yet. The built in Freesat HD is superb when watching Wimbledon tennis on BBC HD! There are also lots of tweaking and calibration options - so even if you are not happy with the original settings you can alter them for your preferance. However, the factory settings are very good - if not a bit dark and this is very easy to change. Tuning in freesat / digital and analogue went without hitch and I was up and running in minutes. A truely great product from LG and one that is thoroughly reccommended.

Bad Points

Sometimes in dark scenes the black levels cause detail to be lost - but this can significantly be improved by adjusting the many settings in the options menu.
