    What do you want out of it with regards to features.

    I got one of these, and it's excellent. Sub £200, full HD with a Freeview HD tuner to boot.

    More details you say?
    Well, it's obviously a budget set (but not excessively so) in terms of thickness and build quality (fixed stand for example), but the bit that counts, namely the screen, is good. No dead pixels, and it delivers the 1080p resolution with good colour contrast. As always it has all the dynamic nonsense turned on by default, but turning these off and a bit of tweaking gets you a good image quality - sure, it isn't the same as my expensive Sony 40", but that cost a lot lot more.

    I've not tried the USB video playback, but having two HDMI ports was useful as it allows hookup of two consoles. The Freeview HD tuner is absolutely fine. The only downside is that the set isn't great for computer hookup - I couldn't tweak the picture settings to make text look good. However, as soon as video went up on screen it was great.

    No SMART TV features, but frankly I didn't want them. I prefer to use either an AppleTV or a console for those services, the built-in ones are always junky due to underpowered CPUs etc.

    Had not really given that much thought.

    Thanks George but I am hoping for personal experiences. I have 2 or 3 on a list which all have reasonable reviews but hoping that you guys can help with your own reviews/suggestions.
