Avoid this TV
Thought I was getting a great TV at a great price. I had this TV for less than three years, with NOT a lot of viewing time on it and a major component goes out on it that caused red blurry images. The cost to fix this ($400+) was too much considering the value of the TV. If you want a nice picture and TV for a couple of years and then have it break, then this TV is for you. If you want a quality product that will last longer than a typical Hollywood marriage, avoid this TV like the plague.

Poor component quality
Purchased TV 15 months ago. Major circuit board went after 15 months. Tried to get them to agree to help on part cost or labor cost but they refused. Repair price is $800+ parts and labor. If you buy this get the extended warranty or be where I am with a high definition paper weight.

I Love It
I was hesitant to purchase this HDPTV, based on the size and the cost. I was scared I would be purchasing a lemon...This is not the case, I love my TV, it is very user friendly and shows a great picture...It has different viewing options for movies, If doesn't have a any glare, it's light and very easy to relocate if needed. You will not be disappointed in your purchase.
