Title of review Too expensive, unless...
What are the strengths? Crystal clear screen.
Very sleek design.
Wall mountable, a massive plus!
Goes amazingly well with consoles.
Can connect camcorder with connections.
Connect laptop/desktop computer with connections.
Blu-Ray compatible.
What are the weaknesses? Only real downside is the price, which when matched against a similar specced HDTV for example the price difference is huge. As a result of this price difference you may be swayed towards a similar tv, which is a shame as you will be missing out and may wish you had payed the extra at a later date.

Price was a issue for me so almost didnt get one, luckily i found out about http://almost-free-hdtv.isgreat.org where i was able to get one for free just for completing one sponsor offer! I was amazed when it arrived direct from amazon.co.uk, but once i had seen the news reports by the BBC and CNN i was convinced. Im now about to recieve a nice new surround sound set too!
Summary Overall this is a brilliant product with lots of great features, i almost swayed towards an alternative player because of the price but im so glad i found out about http://almost-free-hdtv.isgreat.org (where i got one for free just for completing one sponsor offer)!

Title of review ********************- Excellent TV! Shame about the price tho -********************
What are the strengths? Crystal Clear Picture Quality
Very Good Energy saver
Easy to Setup
Lots of input ports!
Superb movie quality!
What are the weaknesses? This HDTV is an absolute MUST for everyone! ...BUT, the price is a little high in my opinion, I never would have got one if I never got mine for FREE. Luckily a friend recommended this website to me before I went and bought one:

*************************************
www.hdtv.justgetitfree.com
*************************************

I checked out the website, completed ONE simple offer and met the requirements to receive one for FREE, it arrived 3 weeks later in the post! It was also shown on BBC and CNN news!!
Summary I would never have been able to find the spare cash to spend on one of these, i'm so glad that I was recommended

Title of review Amazing technology... at a price!!
What are the strengths? Apple brand
Style and size
Great features
Battery life
iTunes is great
Easy to use
Great packaging
Apple after-service is great
What are the weaknesses? Only down side is the price, luckily I discovered http://www.ipodforless.co.uk where I was able to get a free iPod just for completing one sponsor offer!

At first I wasn't convinced but after finding out about the news reports from the BBC and CNN news i was convinced. Once I had completed the requirements it was ordered from and delivered directly from the Apple store. Amazing service and highly recommended!
Summary Overall this is a brilliant product with lots of great features, I almost swayed towards an alternative player (not an iPod) because of the price but I'm so glad I found out about http://www.ipodforless.co.uk (where I got one for free just for completing one sponsor offer)!

What are the strengths? Great TV very clear picture but a real shame about the high price.
If you want one for free I found this great website its:

WHYPAY.CO.NR

I've already had two HDTVs and over £2000 worth of other stuff absolutely free. Seen on BBC Newsnight and completely legal and safe.
Give it ago.

Title of review SONY W4000
What are the strengths? none
What are the weaknesses? average picture,tv been an lcd,no 100hz.
Summary very dissapointed with this set,i expected big things from this but yet again sony has messed up,first of all the design is one of the worst i have seen,i thought it might grow on me but it didnt,when it comes to the main thing picture quality i was left underwhelmed,sd is average because the set has not got 100hz,been a football lover the motion judder was typical of an lcd,blu ray is good,blacks are good but still not in the same league as the two big boys when it comes to flat panel sets pioneer and panasonic,gaming is ok but it can look cartoony at times as the colours are not as natural as plasmas,i have now sold the set and brought a panasonic 42pz85 and all i can say is wow!!!,big difference in pq quality,only die hard sony fanboys would buy the w4000 i suppose.

Title of review quality LCD
What are the strengths? very good blacks, good build quality, SD picture good, blue ray exccellent, design, 1080p, bravia engine 2, usb photo viewer
What are the weaknesses? none
Summary Ive seen many lcds from many manufacturers and, i own a Sony s3000 myself, i waited for some time to get that perfect TV, i skipped the w3000 as it had few issues, now that i have this TV I'm blown away with its performance, the blacks can easily rival most off the plasma in the market, there is no backlight bleed, no clouding issues like many other sets on the market. The SD picture quality is good nice vibrant colours, good detail. blue ray will blow you away picture is so detailed and sharp, whites are just as good as the blacks, call off duty 4 on the ps3 is brilliant no motion blur to report. overall this set is probably the best LCD on the market and it is under £1000, i think that bravia engine 2 is a big improvement over the old engine. The only TV i would consider 2nd place would be the Panasonic LZ85 which is was considering to buy.
