While I can't bring myself to give a second-room TV with underwhelming audio an unreserved recommendation, the 22LU5000 certainly deserves praise for its startlingly decent pictures and eye-catching - so long as you like this sort of thing! - design.
The set's extra brightness and dynamism make it a superior option to the cheaper 22LU4000 when it comes to use in a conservatory or, possibly, kitchen, too. However, given that the advantages of the 22LU5000's extra resolution over the HD Ready 22LU4000 aren't particularly pronounced, if you're looking for a TV for a reasonably dark study or bedroom, you might be as well to save yourself a good few bob and get the cheaper model instead.Read full review
