The editors liked
Impressive dynamic contrast
Smooth motion
Networking
Impeccable ergonomics
Immersive Bluray images
Especially where motion is concerned
Quite reasonable sound
Excellent contrast
Good ergonomics overall (menus
Onscreen manual
Remote…)
Variety of settings
Effective 100 Hz Motionflow
Stunning pictures
Great features and competitive price
LCD tellies have a shelf life comparable to accident-prone mayflies
So it’s a joy to find a futureproof-ish
Full HD flat screen that concentrates on picture
Sound and build quality at the expense of high-tech gimmicks. Having said that
This Brav...

Full feature-set. Punchy whites. Natural colour palette. Excellent depth and detail
The editors didn't like
Styling isnt particularly great
AppliCast feature desperately needs real content
Noticeably uneven backlighting
Even when showing images
Soso TV tuners
Reduced angle of vision (the blacks get lighter)
No 200 Hz Motionflow
AppliCast web apps are average at best
No
Colours aren’t as rich nor blacks as solid as those on the LED-powered 46X4500
But that particular vixen costs twice as much as this foxy lady. Don’t expect too much from AppliCast web apps either – the cheesy calculator
