Best picture I’ve ever seen on a flat screen. One of the best features of this TV is the amazing viewable angle. I can stand nearly parallel to the screen and still see what’s on the screen, not at all like the older LCDs or awful projection units. Sharp, crips colors – pixel plus – progresive scan – and automatic picture adjustment make for a very satisfying viewing experience when watching a movie or a HDTV program.

I had done a fair amount of research before buying this set. I decided upon an LCD because of the picture quality and that it also generated less heat than a plasma.
I am very pleased with the quality of the images on the screen, and very surprised at the decent sound of the speakers that came with it. We have some HD channels and they look great. Actually regular TV looks good too.
My main goal was to have this TV for DVDs. I have hooked up a spare DVD player, that I had only spent less than $50 on, to it just to see how things look. Wow! Also I have not used the HDMI connection, which I understand makes things even better. In fact, I am running the thin, inexpensive RCA cables that came with the DVD, and the cables supplied by my cable company for tv, and everything looks great.
I’ll do everything right before I hang it on the wall. I would expect things to look even better then.

Just got this TV, but from a different retailer (Costco). Was really hesitant to spend this much, but I’m glad I did. The picture is great, and while there are other brands better out there for the price I paid (less than 1300) I really got a good deal. I like the black frame and it’s not too shiney or distracting but complimentary. The remote it dumb-looking, but I use the CableVision remote anyway. Cool feature having the USB port on the side to hook up my Ipod or Camera to. The sound of speakers is decent. All in all, it’s a good TV. Hopefully it stays that way.

I don’t know if this problem is unique to the set that I have, but the remote simply does not work unless it is pointed directly at the green light on the bottom left part of the TV. Even when the remoted is pointed directly at the receiver, it lags enough for me to press the button one too many times. It is getting very tiresome.
I also have problems with the TV losing some of the programmed channels. One minute the channel is available, but after changing over to another channel, the previous channel is gone. It sometimes comes back in a matter of minutes, other times, in several hours, sometimes never.
Other than that, I think everyone will agree that the picture quality is very good. The black levels are acceptable, but it can get a bit hard to see dark features on screen when the room light is dimmed.
