Blurring and juddering on all but the slowest of movement on screen, picture is so soft with SD pictures from Virgin (they don't have HD so can't comment on that) and as for the black levels forget it, it doesn't get anywhere near black.

Makes the picture on my 7 year old CRT look blummin' fantastic!

But hey, they seem happy with it, but I know I wouldn't be.

I'm currently considering getting a 32" LCD (don't have the room for anything bigger), and if I convince myself to do it, I'll be getting this one:

Can get it for around £500
My parents bought an LCD with built in DVD player and out of the box it looked aweful. Having run through the THX Setup the screen looks pretty good, not as good as CRT or Plasma but for the price good and well it is more portable and takes up less space.

So get you StarWars or Incredibles or another disc with the THX setup on it, pay your friends a visit and set up the contrast and brightness, colour balance and sharpness etc of the screen properly and it will look so much better.

Grass suddenly started looking like grass, not infected snot, that was the transformation on this screen.
