I'm pretty impressed with it ... The eval kit turned up on Friday at
work and so I've had it at home this weekend playing with it.

Not so sure about that ... It will wall mount quite nicely due to the
design of the stand and can be angled on it too. That means that I was
able to wall mount it quite high on the wall opposite the head of our
bed (if you see what I mean) which made watching it a hell of a lot
more
comfortable than watching the 28" set which is in the corner of
the
room!

1.5kg roughly so not very heavy at all ...

Not a huge amount as far as I've been able to see...
