While it certainly doesn't look as immaculately finished as some high end TV's, Panasonic's L32S10, with a solid looking piano black finish, will at least give you a sense of money well spent.

Panasonic have come to the conclusion that buyers of their entry level flat panel TV's have very little interest in 'tweaking' the picture. To this end, there are few calibration options and most notably, no manual colour management option. 

The L32S10 does a reasonably good job of upscaling the 576 or so lines of a Freeview source onto the Full HD screen. There are better budget Freeview performers (notably Samsung's LE-32B450), but the difference is only marginal. With a higher quality feed, the Panasonic really comes into its own. There are few TV's able to match the sharpness of Standard Definition pictures at this price level. Although not perfect in this respect, the S10 is remarkably 'noise' free.
