It's definitely the best set they've had. The last one was like something from IKEA.


Well it came from OBI in Germany, which is their equivalent of B&Q believe it or not...

That was a joke.

The news set is horrible, I don't understand comments to the contrary to be frank. The blue is everywhere, which wouldn't be such a bad thing if it wasn't so harsh - it's far too vivid, and unrelentless. The graphics are quite nice, however.


I think its the best set STV have ever had, and it puts ITV and UTV to shame actually. Its bright, modern, crisp and vibrant.

By ITV, do you mean the national set or the generic regional sets?

I couldn't disagree more, if you're referring to the ITV National News - the main backdrop creates a distracting moiré pattern; the set looks cramped (especially with the corner cut off the plinth so the presenter can stand in front of the main screen); the blue and shiny metal overload is distracting; and the titles are naff (the shot of the three presenters is very awkward).

Considering all those faults, I prefer the both the ITV National News, and even the Regional News.

Even the regional sets they rolled out in 2004 are more versatile and practical than the STV one. The new STV is glossy but I think current national ITV News set is more distinctive and classy.

That's fair enough, I think STV set looks more like a sport set though than a news one and it seems a little uneven. Don't like the standing behind the desk which looks messy.


It's a massive improvement on what went before though.

Yep, and so do I.
