the tv has excellent picture and sound quality. in the past rear projection tvs have had bad reports due to the bulbs going etc, this tv is still going strong 4 years later, has the added scart sockets so you can add dvd and sky together and even vcr. The built in speaker unit means you aslo dont need a stand has the tv can stand alone, the downsde being you need a seperate stand to put your dvd sky etc on, but if you had a wall mountable tv you would need one anyway, cant fault the tv at all i love it.
