I’ve been in the market for a 55″ LCD for over a year. I needed to replace a 55″ rear projection TV that was great for it’s time, but doesn’t have the picture quality of a good LCD. I didn’t want to spend a fortune and I’ve been watching as large LCD’s have come down in price.
I purchased this at Costco and I thought the price was a typo. The picture quality of this TV is first rate, and the sound while not great, is better than most. It’s fine for regular viewing, but I certainly use my sound system for movies. 1080i from Dish is spectacular, and 1080p from Xbox is unbelievable. 240Hz makes a big difference in the motion blur of fast scenes – there is virtually none. I’m finally going to pull the trigger on Blue-ray now because this thing is so good.
I love it, my wife loves it, and everyone that sees it is amazed. In my mind it is by far the best value on a top-shelf LCD.

I bought this TV from Costco and all I can say is that I am so happy I did. You cant find a 55″ 1080/240 for $1199 anywhere. I have had it for about 4 weeks now and the picture is incredible. My girl and my friends who have come over to watch movies or the basketball games all compliment me on it. I feel like I stole this TV. The sound isn’t the best but I have yet to hear great sound out of any LCD/Plasma TV. Thankfully I have a really good surround sound system.

I’ve had this TV for 30 days now and so far all is well. Price was right, delivery was fast. The picture is terrific. For its size and refresh rate (240), it’s a real bargain. I mounted in on the wall with the VideoSecu MW370B Plasma LCD TV Wall Mount, a hefty mount. I also bought the 4 year Square Trade warranty, which is really a 3 year warrany after the manf 1 year warranty is up.

TV arrived three weeks after we ordered it. It was DOA upon arrival, would not turn on. I called PROSCAN since it was under warranty. They advised it would be three weeks (August 3rd) before they could have a technician out to repair the TV. They suggested I contact AMAZON and try to arrange for a replacement. I called AMAZON and they advised they no longer stock this TV. The best they could do was refund my money and they will send someone to pickup the television. I will never buy anything PROSCAN again.

I’d been looking for a good deal on a new LCD for a while. When I came across this one I was a little sceptical because I hadn’t heard of the brand before. After reading the reviews, which were mostly very positive, I decided to take a change. For the price you can’t beat the features it offers.
I got the TV a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is WOW! The picture is fantastic…even better than I’d hoped. The menus are easy to use and it has tons of inputs. My HD TV channels look fantastic, and I’m excited to get my new blu ray player. I haven’t seen it in full 1080p yet, but my family and I love the tv!
The non-glare screen is great too because we do have a large window in the room. My old projection TV was often difficult to see because of reflections…no such problem here.
Another feature we love is the numerous aspect ratios and the ease of switching between them. On our other we’re constantly deciding whether we want everything stretched or chopped off. But with this one we have more choices and can usually get the best aspect easily.
We had a bit of a scare when the TV was delivered because the front of the box had a large tear in it. After taking the TV out we found that whatever tore the box missed the screen and the set was undamaged. The delivery guy was very helpful setting it up and made a point of taking pictures of the damaged box and notating it on the delivery form, just in case there was an issue down the road.
I really can’t rave enough about the TV. Our Wii (which is low definition) even looks great on it.
