Well that's a tough call!
The Yanks on this side of the pond probably can't provide any viable info or experiences with the brand or Woolworths. Over here... Woolys went down under years ago. :)
It seems to be 'acceptable' and what caught my interest was the 3 year 'swap out'. Does that mean you have three years to exchange the set if you have problems or don't like it?
If so... it sweetens the deal.
Draught a Guiny and let us know! :guiny:

16ms response time?! EEK! I don't know about that man.

To expand on that "eek"...
16ms may produce a time lag that produces visual artifacts and delay. This would be more apparent with gaming than with movies (DVD).
I believe that most recommend a 12ms or less for gaming.
Hopefully some 'gamers' can provide a better explanation other than 'eek'.

12ms is recommended but 8ms is prefurred if your a gamer.

One - We pretty much all agree that the faster the response time, the better for gaming. But physiologically speaking, your eyes and brain can't descern a difference once you go below 16 ms. Ultrasensitive people may swear up and down that they see a difference with 12 ms (I find it hard to believe)... but there's no point in going below that.
Two - Different manufacturers measure response times differently. One guy's 16ms may not compare to another guy's 8ms. I know that Samsung uses gray-gray response times and so they have lower (faster) numbers.
Three - What concerns me about this TV is the lack of detail on brightness and contrast (beyond "high"), and the lack of info on the available connection options.
