    Hi Guys

    Now have this after a nightmare with currys and dixons group on delivery and trying cancel it but they didnt cancel.

    After giving them ****e and being told they had 3000 of these on backorder and still taking peoples money at £550 each which is over £1.5 million pounds I told them i was going to trading standards.

    Guess what all of a sudden I get a phone call telling me its being delivered on saturday. (yesterday)

    Love the builtin bluetooth on the tv for my lappy and phone and usb for all types of memory cards using a card reader . Also playing ipod through usb so will now have to get surround system to annoy neighbours.


    So far so good

    UPDATE

    I have now had the tv for 2 weeks and can now form an opinion.

    The extras like the bluetooth although is a bit of gadget but useful with mobiles and headphones and I will eventually try some more bluetooth stuff on it .

    The usb connection is great for card readers ect so you can put stuff on your screen .

    I have connected my pc and it all looks and works as an acceptable option.

    I have a slight problem with digital quality picture.
    despite setting up and playing with a number of settings the picture is just not as crisp as I would like and I suspect this may be an ariel problem or internal leads weakening the signal. My input leads go through a number of various boxes before getting on the tv and it may be sapping the signal.

    Overall I still think it is worth the £549 and I would recommend it.
