My Experience: This is a great TV. It is considerably cheaper than the competition and it is packed with features.

It doesn't suffer from gaming lag, and the 1000:1 contrast is plenty, even in the most vibrant and detailed settings, dark areas and light areas are clearly defined and the 8ms response time keeps fast action sharp and impressive.

There are outputs of every type - Composite x3, S-Video x2, Component x3, VGA x1, DVI x1, HDMI x1, RCA Audio x8 - everything.

This means I connect my VCR, DVD Player, Xbox 360, PC and in the future another PC and HD-DVD Player, Blu-ray Player, or Playstation 3 via the HDMI input, whilst connecting a Nintendo Wii in the spare component socket.

The menus are simple and easy to navigate and the whole interface is easy to operate, whilst more advanced users can access more advanced functions.

Aesthetically, this TV is the perfect size at 81cm or 32". It gives me a big screen without dominating my lounge.

Overall this is a great TV. I haven't bought a BenQ product before, but I can say that I certainly will in the future. The TV gives an excellent picture, is well designed, hasn't given any problems and is great for Gaming, as a PC Display, for watching DVDs and for HDTV.

Highly Recommended

Problems: Uses slightly more power than most other LCD's - around 185W.
