I bought this TV a while ago from Freemans catalogue. Not my first choice, but as catalogues are a lot dearer anyway, it was, at the time all I could afford. Yes it is big, due to side speakers and quite heavy, but I must say it is a fantastic picture, clear, crisp and bright. I don''t find the sound too bad either. We have since purchased a Sony Bravia 32" LCD TV and I must say that my Goodmans has a much clearer picture! Although the Goodmans is now on the wall in our bedroom, I would definitely buy another, but smaller, Goodmans for my other rooms.
