The LG 42LG700 is an impressive television which is full of additional extra features as well as offering crystal clear vision and sound. This machine is not just HD ready it is fully HD meaning that you can view all your programming and DVDs in a way that they are meant and deserved to be watched.

The TV is very high quality when it comes to the visual experience offering the watcher 1080 pixel resolution with a very high contrast ratio.  However the vision can appear to have a slight but visible jump and shudder to the picture which can harm your enjoyment of the programme or film you are watching. It would be fair to say that this TV was designed with the enthusiast in mind, those that love to tinker with the settings to ensure they are getting an image which is ideal for them. Factory settings are both bold and bright with highly sharp detail.

The television set really excels with its additional extras; the television comes with inbuilt Freeview box meaning you can watch your programming in HD quality as soon as you switch the television on. The machine offers you 4 HDMI and 2 scart ports meaning you will never struggle to find space or hunt around to find an extension mechanism for the back of your television. It also offers you one USB port this allowing you to input a variety of other data to your TV and even allowing you to save movies and programmes onto an external hard drive.

The television also has a unique opportunity to connect your phone via Bluetooth connectivity which is implemented onto your set, this meaning you can quickly and easily share data from your phone to your TV such as MP3 files, photos or even videos which you then can play back on great quality, is this a gimmick or would you find a practical use?

Overall this is a very nice television set that will appeal to many people; it has a very stylish vibe about the TV due to its red coloured designed frame and glossy finish. The high definition is a major plus point on this television set however it is let down by the occasional jump on screen which can be highly off putting when enjoying a movie. Hopefully a patch will be released to cure this although not everyone has reported this as a problem so it might be a case of trial and error.

The colours however are stunning and it does give a great picture when it is running away to its full effect. The additional extras and options on this set make it ideal for television enthusiasts who want to get the most out of their screen and the addition of the Bluetooth connectivity is a unique concept which is an added bonus If you use it or indeed have a need for it. If you want a television that has the potential to be great and give great picture quality this one is definitely for you!

With the rise of so many new 3D films being realeased in the cinema and not to mention television programmes now dabbling into 3D for their programming it is no wonder that the technology has arrived into our living rooms with the latest 3d TVs. Manufacturers realise that the consumer now wants to see television sets with integrated 3D systems. As one and all rush to get their 3D offering on the store showroom it would seem that we have a new TV model number to contend with on a monthly basis, with so many new 3d offerings it is hard to know what TV offers the best quality and value for money.

Step forward the Samsung 46D8000 this television boasts and amazing 46” screen for your viewing pleasure (also comes in 55″) which will give you the ultimate experience when watching your television, as you would expect from these models it is also Full HD with integrated free view meaning that as soon as you have your new TV set up and running you can access hundreds of stations that are available in your area all in high definition, you can also access a wide variety of high quality digital radio stations all without the need of separate boxes or software.

For even more features this TV is also WIFI enabled which means you can enjoy a whole host of internet services direct from your television screen, for instance you can stream online videos using one of the pre-installed apps (subscription required), enjoy skype, facebook or twitter all from within the Samsungs Smart Hub TV function. There is also an app store for Samsung allowing you to download a variety of apps to use from your TV screen and also the chance to sync your iPhone to be able to control your television!

However the main reason this TV should be top of your shopping list is quality. Picture quality in both 3d and 2d will blow you away and for anyone wishing to hang this TV from a wall all I can say is you won’t be disappointed. A D8000 series TV hanging on a living room wall is like having a fine piece of art sitting their, truly amazing with its super slim design and fie bezel which I will touch on again in a moment. Watching 3D on the Samsung D8000 is like being transported into a different world. The quality and crispness of the screen will ensure you are able to watch the programmes you want in a realism like you were there yourself, as if what you were viewing was actually happening right there in your living room.

You will always have the plasma lovers telling you that LCD is no use, the blacks are not black enough and that you will have poor motion control and bleeding of colour but fear not, the Samsung D8000 series can stand toe to toe with any plasma TV when it comes to picture quality, you can rest assured that this television set runs magnificently with minimal disruption to your viewing. The TV can handle fast motion and fast action sequences with total ease and in the highest quality imaginable.

Consumers often get confused when it comes to model numbers, Samsung have not helped this with the release of both the D8000 and the D7000 which vary slightly in both quality and price. The D7000 carries a slightly reduced price tag so what are you getting or losing when it comes to comparing the two sets? The D8000 has a slightly increased amount of onboard memory 2GB vs. 1.75GB and it is said it also has a few higher grade components but looking at the two side by side I certainly cannot tell a difference when it comes to picture quality.

For me it comes down to the bezels, do you want the chrome finish of the D8000 or the floating glass finish of the D7000?

D8000 Chrome Bezel

I personally prefer the D8000 chrome finish but if you prefer the look of the D7000 save yourself some money and get yourself one.

D7000 Bezel

The Samsung 46D8000 is overall an excellent television set, it has everything that you want a television to be plus more, with its high quality HD and 3D systems this television set is very much worth its value.

Sony does a good job with this television on a number of levels. The set produces admirable black levels for an LCD television, and the primary colors are spot on. Using dejudder mode does a good job at smoothing out video motion and doesn’t cause artifact problems as often as some other dejudder systems do. There are a few problems with the television as well though. The black levels seem uneven or tend to fluctuate in some areas. The viewing angle is a bit smaller than is common for LCD’s these days and certainly for good quality LCD’s. Color decoding could be better, sometimes the colors don’t translate well on the screen and the picture ends up looking off.

Unfortunately, Sony’s menu system for this  television is one of the more tedious menu systems out there. It’s difficult to figure out where you need to go or what you need to do to achieve any specific goal.Ultimately, the video processing and dejudder are pretty good but the picture quality just doesn’t stand up against the highest tier LCD televisions to come out so far. That’s okay though because it’s not even in the same price range as Sony is marketing this as a mid-level LCD television.

Sony has brought some of the high end features from its more expensive televisions down to this one and it’s definitely an improvement in quality for the price range. It puts Sony ahead of the curve on features like dejudder which Sony is now offering for less than premium pricing. It’s too bad that none of the other advancements have yet trickled down to complement those features and give this television picture quality to stand up against those much more expensive models, but then again that probably would have raised the price of this model significantly. If you like the smooth look of dejudder and don’t want to spend a fortune then this television definitely deserves some serious consideration.

This television frame has some interesting styling to it, with a horizontal window in the middle of the frame. It has a refreshingly different look than all the flat black rectangles that are on the market. The television itself is 44.1 inches wide by 29.3 inches tall and 4.6 inches deep, weighing 58 lbs.
The remote is kind of on the small side and has a nice feel to it, with a good button layout that makes intuitive sense. It isn’t a universal remote though, it’s only for the television itself. The remote also lacks backlighting, but while that is a nice feature to have it’s hardly necessary.

The Bravia 4100 doesn’t skimp on cool features. Sony’s mid-level television has features usually seen only on other manufacturer’s high end televisions. It has a 120MHz refresh rate which does a great job getting rid of motion blur and giving crisp video and the dejudder video processing, which has two settings depending on your personal preference. There are also four presets you can use with independent settings for each input. There is also a Theater preset that is really PRE-SET and does not allow any user adjustments.

Sony’s Bravia 4100 doesn’t offer the absolute best picture quality but it does offer many of the advanced features normally found on high end televisions for only a fraction of the price. For someone buying a television on a budget this could be a very good buy.

The first thing you might notice when viewing a movie or television program on an LG LE8500 Series television is that the black levels are phenomenal. This television is up there with some plasma screen televisions and absolutely can hold it’s own against just about any other LCD on the market. Superior black levels are obtained through the LED backlights with local dimming. A common problem with this new technology is that the LED’s being the LCD often cause uneven lighting (uniformity issues) and also “bloom” effects on the screen.

This just seems to be part of the trade-off in order to obtain deeper blacks. They cannot even come remotely close to having one LED backlight per pixel so each LED backlight serves a neighborhood of pixels and not every pixel in that neighborhood will want to be lit the same way, but they don’t have a choice. Also problematic are the pixels that live in between neighborhoods and depend on two or more LED’s for their lighting. Depending on how many of those LED’s are on, the lighting will vary. The problem sounds far worse than it looks, but it’s noticeable to those who look closely. That doesn’t necessarily mean it will bother you as an individual, but some people do find it distracting.

LG has actually managed very well with the bloom effects, though. Although the uneven backlighting seems about the same as other LED backlit LCD’s with local dimming, the bloom effects are less pronounced and it looks like LG engineered a way to minimize the problem, giving them a leg up against their other high end competition. It’s a shame that the adjustable dejudder feature doesn’t seem to work as well as some other models, because otherwise it would be really difficult to make the case for any other LCD other than this one being top dog on release.

The LE8500 Series also offers spot on color accuracy, which is something many of the other high end television can’t always seem to get. Viewing the television from an angle reveals it to be superior to many of its peers in this respect as well. Overall, the picture quality on this set is nothing short of phenomenal. There is no LCD with a “perfect” picture yet, but this definitely is at the head of the pack for trying to come close.

Cosmetically the LG LE8500 Series looks really sharp and impressive. At only 1.4 inches deep front to back it is an extremely thin television, and also very lightweight. Both of these are due in large part to the LED backlighting system, and so is the energy efficiency. Not only does this television deliver a picture quality on the verge of rivaling plasma televisions but it uses only a fraction of a fraction of the electrical energy, and therefore cost to have it turned on.

You’ll also find an entire suite of interactive features built right into this television. With internet connectivity it can provide access to sites like Youtube and services like Netflix. You can stream movies, videos and even use the Yahoo! Widgets feature to display the latest news, weather or stock quotes right on your televison, live while you watch something.

LG’s LE8500 Series is expensive, but it has got everything conceivable all rolled up into one great package. It’s imperfect, but there isn’t much out there that is any less imperfect even at this price point. For a high end television with fantastic picture quality and all the bells and whistles, this is definitely worth a look, and perhaps a purchase.

The Samsung 750 series brings 240Hz screen refresh rates to the LCD arena and outperforms the company’s LED edge-lit LCD televisions in some key areas despite using conventional backlighting. It offers superior picture uniformity, which is no surprise, but also superior black levels which may impress a few people. The picture quality is one of the best of any LCD on the market with the possible exception of top of the line LED backlit models that offer localized dimming to obtain superior black levels.

It also does not surpass the best plasma television displays in quality, a mark that LCD televisions have been trying to hit for years. They do manage to beat plasma in a number of key areas however, most notably in price and energy efficiency. The picture qualities are getting very close though, and this LCD has one of the best. The Samsung 750 Series LCD Televisions are available in 40 inch, 46 inch, and 52 inch models. All sizes are virtually identical in all other aspects.

The only coloration on this television’s frame is a thin accent of translucent blue along the bottom. The remainder of the frame is glossy black with transparent plastic that sticks out all around the border of the television frame. It’s a really stylish look that might seem a bit unusual at first but will grow on you. The television comes with a matching stand that has a see through stack which can allow the television to swivel in multiple directions for the best possible viewing angle for any audience. The television is noticeably thicker front to back than it’s LED backlit brethren in the Samsung line, but it still clocks in at just 3.1 inches thick.

Samsung hasn’t changed the menus from the previous model year, which is a good thing. The menus are easy to read and easy to navigate, making it a breeze to set up the picture and do just about anything. The new 240Hz refresh rate is double that of previous models and many other current sets from other manufacturers. This won’t have dramatic effect on picture motion quality for most viewers, but it is noticeable. Samsung has also included their Auto Motion Plus dejudder processing feature with more options than previous Samsung models, as well as a new custom setting for tweaking the judder and blur reduction.

The 750 series is also internet enabled and comes with Yahoo! widgets, which can grab interesting (and customizable) information off the web (anything from the weather to stock tickers) and display them in little snippets on a bar that goes across the bottom of the screen. The widgets are pretty cool but not without problems. One major one is a response time that tends to be dreadfully slow. Push the button and you could be waiting several seconds before you see an acknowledgment on screen. It can be frustrating at times, but once you get it set up it’s probably worth it. You can also track Twitter feeds right on the screen as well, which is pretty cool.

Lots of other high tech features are included on the 750 series, including the ability to stream music, video and photos from USB or network DLNA certified devices. There is also built in content and downloadable internet content from Samsung ranging from recipes to workout programs. Overall this is a pretty great television and without going top of the line or moving to plasma it’s got one of the best pictures. That is has one of the best technology packages goes without saying.

The Sony Bravia NX800 is a stylish looking television that will look good with any decor. The frame design is called “monolithic” in style by Sony and you won’t disagree, it certainly is reminiscent of the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. The border on the tv frame is a black that almost matches the look of the television screen when it’s turned off, giving the illusion that the unit is a single black slab. The logos and light indicators are very nearly invisible when turned off, and although the Sony logo lights up when the set is powered up that feature can be disabled to preserve the monolithic look. NX800 televisions are available from Sony in 46 inch, 52 inch and 60 inch sizes. All of which have identical features and should have equivalent picture quality.

So this television look goods when it’s off but it also looks pretty good when it’s on, too. It isn’t without flaws, however. Black levels could be better and there seems to be a subtle blue tinge that creeps into darker areas of the screen sometimes. It’s not problematic, and many viewers probably wouldn’t notice but more discerning viewers may. It would be nice to have more adjustments available for the dejudder feature as well. The screen has a gloss to it that can reflect light from the room or nearby windows, which can be distracting but is easily resolved with window shades or simply turning off some lights. Overall the picture and viewing experience are good, but it won’t impress the most critical of viewers.

Don’t let that stop you though, because this television has a LOT more to offer than just a pretty good picture. For one thing, it’s very energy efficient, especially when compared to plasmas or non LED based LCD televisions. It also has built in Wi-Fi connectivity and a really nice lineup of available internet services. You can watch movies online via your Netflix account, use Amazon’s Video on Demand services, and keep up to the minute with the latest information using Yahoo! Widgets.

These Widgets are particularly cool as you can have the latest weather, news headlines or stock quotes right on your screen any time you want. No need to go to the computer or look anything up, it’s simply right there whenever you want it once you set it up (which is straightforward and easy). The internet services are set up in an intuitive way that makes them very easy to use. The Netflix video quality did seem a bit lower compared to some other televisions offering streaming Netflix, but it still looked very good.

The stand now comes with a swivel, allowing the set to be angled for optimal viewing. Sony also redesigned the remote and come up with a very ergonomic and pleasing design. It has all the good aspects of previous remotes but improved on the way the buttons feel in a tactile way. It has a backlight, which is always a nice thing, especially for those who enjoy their home theater in the dark. The remote can also be used to control other devices, which is a huge plus for such a nice remote.

Sony’s Bravia NX800 is really great overall. Although the picture quality may not match up to some top of the line LCD’s or plasmas, it’s still very good and the array of other features as well as the overall styling makes this television something special indeed.

The Toshiba SV670U isn’t the most impressive television you’ll ever come across but it costs less than most competitors’ LED based LCD displays that offer local dimming, and the black levels it achieves are pretty great. The blooming effect caused by the localized dimming is a bit more noticeable on this display than some of the higher end ones, but still not too shabby. Primary colors are pretty close  to spot on accurate on the SV670U televisions and there is also an array of picture adjustment settings anyone who wishes to can tinker around with.

Physically the Toshiba SV670U looks very similar to Toshiba’s next model down, the ZV650U.  The primary difference between the two  stylistically is the SV670U models have a transparent sheet of material that covers the entire front of the television, creating an illusion that the set is makde from a single piece. Rather than basic black (seen on many competitors’ televisions) Toshiba opted for a generous dose of Silver in the SV670U. It’s a classy look that seems modern also and can blend with any decor. For connectivity the television offers a PC input and four HDMI connections. The set also features a 240Hz refresh rate, putting it on a field to play against some televisions which are significantly more expensive. The SV670 series is offered by Toshiba in both a 46 inch and 55 inch model. Both models have the same feature set and offer extremely similar picture qualities.

A couple of weaknesses this set shows is a lack of performance when viewed at sharper angles. The colors become muted at earlier angles than on similar televisions, making this set less optimal for a wide viewing area. This is a problem typical of LED backlit televisions with local dimming and isn’t specific to Toshiba’s model. Along with the blooming problem, it is a trade off to achieve the same deep black levels offered by plasma televisions. Regardless of where you’re sitting, even right in front of the set you may experience a problem with screen glare. The Toshiba SV670U series has a reflective screen that can be distracting if there is light coming in a window or from another room.

One of the nicer features is the ability to use the dejudder and antiblur functions separately. Some of Toshiba’s competitors don’t allow for this functionality. The remote control that comes with the television is also well designed, at least in terms of usability and button placement. One minor gripe is the lack of a backlight on the remote to make it easier to use in a darkened home theater environment. The remote can control up to three other electronic devices though, which is a useful feature some other television manufacturers occasionally skimp on. The on screen menus are less well designed, however. Some of them tend to be a bit long and/or slightly confusing to navigate and find what you are looking for. They’re not terrible, it’s just clear that significant time was spent on perfecting things like button placement on the remote, but the on screen menus didn’t seem to make the high priority list for Toshiba’s engineers.

This television isn’t the best on the market, nor is it the cheapest but it does offer one of the least expensive sets with local dimming LED backlighting. In essence, an entry level to the top-of-the-line LCD televisions. It’s absolutely worth a look if you want high end features without having to spend high end money.

The Bravia W5100 Series has excellent black levels, in standard mode the dejudder processing is excellent and the primary colors are spot on. The internet enabled features are deep, fun, entertaining and easy to use. The set also comes with all the connectivity you could ask for, with a PC input, two component video inputs and four (count them, FOUR) hdmi connections. There are a couple of imperfections too, though. Dark areas of the screen can sometimes have a slight blue tinge to them, the backlighting can experience occasional uniformity issues, and the antiblur and dejudder modes can’t be used or enabled separately. Mostly, the flaws are minor and the type of things that aren’t readily noticed unless you’re looking carefully, but for the price of this television one might expect perfection and if that’s the case the picture does fall slightly short. It’s still pretty darned excellent, though.

The Sony Bravia W5100 series of televisions is available in 40 inch, 46 inch, and 52 inch sizes. All sizes have the same feature packages and effectively the same picture quality. There is also a 65 inch model in the W5100 line but due to its different contrast ratio spec it may not have black levels as deep as its smaller brethren.

With the internet connected this television offers an entire suite of online features.. Amazon Video on Demand, Shoutcast, Youtube are all available right on your television screen and accessible via your remote control. Netflix is also available and this allows Netflix customers to use their subscriptions to watch streaming movies online instead of paying for traditional pay per view or video on demand services. Yahoo! Widgets are pretty cool too, with the ability to have live information straight from the internet displayed on your television screen. Basic widgets available can show you the local (or non-local) weather, news headlines of the day, and even stock quotes to keep track of your investments. One key difference between how Sony handles the Yahoo! Widgets and some of its competitors is on the Sony television the Widgets can be moved anywhere on the screen and are not confined just to one area, like a strip along the bottom.

Amazon’s Video on Demand service is also fairly impressive on the Sony Bravia W5100 series televisions. The site can take some time to load at first but one loaded the performance is excellent and Amazon offers some high definition content which is not currently available from some of the other streaming video providers. This offers people without DVR’s a way to keep up with hit television shows, even on channels they don’t subscribe to (like HBO) for a per episode fee or a season pass that gives discount prices per episode. Amazon also had a good selection of movies.

If services like this get any better people may stop subscribing to cable or satellite and just download and watch their television shows and movies commercial free when it’s convenient for them. It’s an excellent feature, Amazon’s put together a superb service and Sony has picked up the ball and executed it well on this television.

The W5100 series offers a ton of ways to tweak your picture, but it may be a bit much. It can become confusing pretty fast. Still, for videophiles who want to tweak every aspect of the picture, this television offers ways to do that. Overall this is a terrific set with an extravagant array of interactive features. If it the picture were 100% flawless or if the price were a bit lower this would be an absolute must-buy for anyone and everyone. As it stands, it’s pretty close.

The Viera TC-L26X1, an LCD television from Panasonic offering some unique features like an iPod dock thst can both charge and allow music or video playback through the television. It delivers fairly accurate color and sells for a pretty low price compared to similar models. It does fail to meet some of the newer high standards that some viewers may have come to expect for black levels or viewing angles, but over all it’s a solid tv for a good price and if you’ve got an iPod or iPhone it’s definitely worth checking out.

iPod connectivity is the main selling feature on this television and although Panasonic’s iPod video isn’t quite as good as the competition, it’s price is significantly better. For the money, Panasonic is the best game in town and being able to dock your iPod to play videos over a larger screen is a pretty huge deal. Being able to do it on a budget is even better. Using the features are fairly straightforward and there really aren’t any strong or weak points except for Panasonic’s iPod video conversion quality could use some slight improving.

The dock itself is not integrated like the iPod dock on the JVC model in this market. It is an external dock that works with multiple iPod models, unlike the JVC which requires adapters for specific models to be used. Only Panasonic’s included docking station can be used, other iPod docking stations you may already owned will likely not be compatible with the television (but the included one works well enough).

Once a device is connected to the dock it immediately begins charging even if the television is off. If the screen is on you will see a menu display which allows you to access the iPod’s contents. Panasonic included all the usual options including shuffle and repeat. Aside from the lack of an iPod button on the remote (you can access the iPod remotely but going into the Viera menu first) the entire setup is very straightforward and intuitive. You can literally plug and play with your iPod in this television. While browsing videos you can even have a video playing in the top right corner and continue to browse while it’s playing, which is a really nice feature. All in all, the way the menus were set up for the iPod functionality seems intuitive and thoughtful.

The TV’s cosmetic style is fairly reserved and not at all exciting. It comes with a matching stand but unfortunately the stand does not offer a swivel feature. On the side panel there are connections for one A/V input, an SD card slot and one HDMI connector. The screen’s matte finish give it excellent performance in high ambient light situations, which is a significant boon to the model. Many, even very high end LCD televisions have glossy screens that reflect ambient light from the room or light streaming in windows to create screen glare that can be distracting to viewers. The Panasonic Viera TC-L26X1 doesn’t have this issue at all, which weighs strongly in its favor.

While the television itself isn’t terribly exciting, everything from the color accuracy to the design of the remote control is above average with the exception of few things like black levels. The iPod functionality doesn’t have the best quality of video playback available on iPod ready televisions, but it’s still very good and for the price it’s probably the best hands down. Without an iPod there are other televisions in this price range worth pursuing but for iPod owners, especially those working on a tight budget, this set from Panasonic is absolutely something to consider buying.

The LG SL80  - This television makes a good first impression before it has even been turned on. It has a very reserved (but still dapper) look and sports a depth of just 1.8 inches front to back. It also has a glass front panel that spans the entire front of the unit. This tv was engineered to also be a beautiful piece of furniture no matter what type of decor you have in your tv room. It is compact and sleek all the way, with a minimalist design that stands out without even trying to. LG makes two different models as part of the SL80 Series, a 42 inch and a 47 inch television. Both of them have the same specifications and equivalent picture qualities.

The SL80 Series also looks good when it’s turned on, which is a good thing. The color levels are some of the most accurate you’ll find out of all the LCD televisions on the market. Unfortunately the black levels leave something to be desired. They are a but lighter than other similar LCD’s in the same price range, but it may end up being a trade off: better color or better black levels? It’s all up to personal preference, but overall this television looks great both on and off.

For videophiles there is an extensive array of picture controls available in the menu system. It offers as many or more different ways to tweak your set’s picture than LG’s competitors do, and high end television aficionados will appreciate the attention to detail and availability of the features. It also had anti-blur and dejudder features as well, like one might expect. Unfortunately LG was one of the companies that released their LCD’s with those features bound to each other. This isn’t a huge deal most of the time, but it is nice to have the option to use either anti-blur or dejudder features independent of one another, but it’s simply not an option with the SL80 Series unfortunately.

LG has spent some R&D money on their remote design for the high end sets in their line of LCD’s. The remotes are significantly improved over previous models. For one thing the keys are grouped logically and have a fair amount of space between them, making it easier to hit only the button you were trying to. They also have dedicated keys for a lot of the core features you might expect and want, which is also good. It’s not perfect, it definitely lacks that intuitive feel and ergonomic polish, but it’s an excellent remote nonetheless. It even has a remote backlight for the buttons so you can see the buttons in the dark, which isn’t an earth shattering feature but it is something many of LG’s competitors still don’t offer on their stock remotes that ship with their high end LCD sets.

With a PC input and four HDMI connectors the LG SL80 Series offers a good amount of connectivity. One additional downside however, is the screen on the unit is a bit too reflective. This can be a problem with ambient light in the room or streaming in a nearby window. Light can create glare off the screen, making it distracting and difficult to view. Obviously this can easily be resolved by turning lights off or closing shades, but it is a minor annoyance perhaps worth mentioning.

The SL80 Series is an excellent television all around, with good picture quality, excellent energy efficiency, and really unbeatable overall cosmetics. If you like a stylish looking television then this one is definitely worth a look-see.
