It`s not had good reviews on www.avforums.com. There appear to be issues with connectivity, build quality and backlight coverage.

Not the bargain it`s made out to be. Personally I`d be tempted to wait for a quality brand to bring out something price competitive. Toshiba have brought out the 42" X series set which is also 1080p and available online for £1000.
