We love it! November 3, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I did a LOT of research before choosing this TV. I read every single review here...and about 1,000 others for other TVs. We just got ours two days ago. We are supposed to have cable hooked up to it today and have been using a DVD upconvertor ($39 Phillips @ Costco) and wow does it look great!! I am anxious to try out the channel functions too.
We turned the backlighting down to "3" (not sure if that is down far enough) so as not to shorten the life of the TV. We have it set on standard mode, which after all our lives on regular TVs...it is still a vast improvement.(Dynamic mode was BRIGHT! and actually bothered my eyes after a short time).
We were surprised that after setting the picture to 16:9 all "widescreen" movies didn't fill up the entire screen, that some still had the black on the top and bottom (in some cases really skinny viewing that was annoying). We thought the point of getting a TV like this was to view those types of formats better. We ended up putting it on "just scan" and many of our movies fill most of the screen. Sometimes we used the zoom feature on the DVD player. Then again, maybe something in our TV set up was wrong and it could fill the whole screen if we did it right.
I expected setting up the screws on the stand to be a bit difficult, but it wasn't, once we figured out how to point it the right direction. Tip: our base woouldn't swivel until we got the connector and the TV attached...then it swiveled just fine. We tried for quite a while to get the thing in the base to turn so it was lined up to the front of the base correctly...it was a waste of time. Once we resigned ourselves to just turning the base to the angle necessary for viewing and finished setting up the stand...then it worked! Getting the screws in so that the TV is level, seems to be much easier if someone holds the TV straight while the screws are being screwed in by another person. Ours was perfect the first time.
I was curious what "weak" meant on the sound. Now I think I understand. The SRS is audible, but not a huge difference between that and what we have had before. Some difference, just not a huge difference like I expected. However, the sound is not at all "bad", and is plenty good enough for us. Still get chills when the THX logo comes up... just like the theatre.
The whiteglove service wasn't all it was cracked up to be, I didn't think. Someone did deliver and he did plug the TV in and make sure the picture and sound worked before letting me sign off on the paperwork. I think it would have worked the same or better sending it through UPS or something, turning it on ourselves, and probably getting it a few days sooner.
I am concerned about cleaning. The only instructions given are on the cloth, spraying it with water and wiping down the housing. No information on cleaning the screen. I broke down and bought some LCD TV screen cleaner by Monster (oh my gosh - $25!!!) from Best Buy....but am nervous about using it and possibly damaging the anti-glare coating or causing some other problem. The screen isn't dirty yet, so I have a little bit of time to decide if I will use the cleaner or not.
Overall...we love it! Of course, my husband and I looked at each other during our first viewing and both said, "Wish we could have gotten a bigger one", but this one will do quite well for our small living room and limited budget. We were looking for quality first and foremost. We didn't want to spend this much money and not be happy with the TV and its performance. So far...so very good :)

This is a really good performing TV set. Good clear pictures with bold bright colors. What else can I say, other than to recommend it to anyone who wants a great performing HDTV with a low price tag.

Love this TV. Easy took less than 4 minutes for cable. No accessories necessary and the picture is great. No regrets. Also delivery was the best. He offered to set it up also opened the box went thru inventory and made sure nothing was broken or missing....Terrific all the way

Beautiful Picture October 31, 2008
My wife wanted a flat screen t.v. for her birthday. I had already researched some, so I knew what the reviews were. I checked prices online and Amazon's price was the best overall, when taking into consideration their safe and reliable reputation.

It arrived earlier than expected. I assembled the stand, and switched out our cable box for an hd cable box. I adjusted the sound and picture so very slightly. Seeing the picture on an hd channel is like looking through a window. Amazing ! Now my wife wants us to buy a bigger one for Christmas:)
