I have a Thomson (badged ferguson) television, I find the picture and sound quality excellent, especially when the picture is in RGB, the 2 Scart socket can also input an S-Video signal which is ideal for a DVD player when Sky is connected to Scart 1.
The only problem I have found is picture geometry, the picture seems slightly slanted when in 16:9 and when the picture is zoomed into Cinerama it cuts a lot of the top and bottom of the picture so you loose bit of the banner and clock when watching Sky News and the like.
Overall I have found it a very good tv and prefer it to the Sony Wega that I have before.
