BUY IT!

Sony IDTVs are better PQ than the seperate boxes.

Get one of the best tubes in the same chassis as one of the best tuners

I'm also thinking of getting the Sony KD-28DX40 and have just returned from John Lewis who had it on display running ITV1 using the digital tuner. I have to say I was very impressed with the picture quality. I'm pretty much sold on this set now.

I have the TV. I've had for about 5 weeks. It is an excellant set and well worth the money. The picture quality is excellant and the Digital tuner is good picture quality too. Go and buy it you won't regret it.

It's £699 which is cheaper than Dixons and Argos etc. and with 5 years warranty. Not bad at all.

Add me to the list of satisfied 28DX40 owners!

Had mine for 9 months now, and still love the picture quality, looks and build.

Don't tend to listen to its own speakers now - Discover Pro-Logic II and see what I mean!

From me a big

Super7
