Date: 2008-09-02 I love this TV!! I, like many others who bought this particular TV, did lots of research, read many reviews and thought about it quite a bit, then bought it. Never have I been so pleased with the product as with this TV. Two very pleasant people showed up at my home, 4 days after I ordered it on Amazon, and unboxed and set it on my stand, while I watched! They waited until I had turned it on and watched something before asking if there were any questions, and then left. I also bought a PS3 and a couple of blu-ray movies (Planet Earth was one of them) so I could see what 1080p really looked like. I have a small TV/game room so I sit about 8 feet from the set. What a view! I still can't get over the size of it, and I've had it for a couple of months now. The picture is great and 1080p does look nice. The Planet Earth series is spectacular (if you can get past the misguided politics that's laced throughout). I really didn't think it would look THAT good ... but is does! I'm particularly fond of the PS3 game "Grid". It's only 720p but it looks great, as does the title "Dirt", both by CodeMasters. I can only imagine what these games would look like in 1080p! If you've been tossing around the idea of "moving on up", I don't think you could do better than this one. But also get a PS3 (I don't get anything from Sony for saying that) so you can experience the stunning visuals available in 1080p blu-ray and play some great driving games. Date: 2008-09-01 Awesome TV, Lousy Speakers Bought the HL61A750 from Ultimate Electronics. Went to the store and the salesman matched the price on Amazon, so we were good to go for delivery the next day. I got home and checked the receipt and realized he had substituted an HL61A650 (with bulb, not LED, and priced hundreds lower) for the HL61A750 on the receipt. I called and spoke to the manager who had "approved" the deal and she indicated that, gosh, it's only one digit off and, shucks, it was probably just a typo. She replaced the 650 with the 750 I had paid for. Buyer beware at Ultimate Electronics. The TV itself is awesome. Incredible colors, outstanding HDTV picture, and superior image. Tons of inputs and outputs. The 61" screen is perfect in our den, where we sit about 9 feet from the screen. HD football on the big 61" screen is incredible. During the olympics, we could actually see the stitching on the NBC patch on Bob Costas' sport coat. The speakers leave a lot to be desired. They are kind of tinny, and frankly, on a $2,000 TV, they should be better. I hooked the system up to a surround sound system, so the cheesy speakers are really not a big deal. If you don't have a sound system and are counting on good sound from this TV, look elsewhere. Otherwise, it's a great TV. Date: 2008-09-01 satisfied Very impressed with the picture quality of this tv. I chose to buy from Amazon because of the great way they deal with their customers.I have purchased many ltems through the internet and totally believe their site to be the best. Date: 2008-08-31 Best for the Price Able to connect two media boxes, cable box, external antenna, DVR, DVD player without any problems. Now able to downgrade my A/V receiver to just handle speaker system via fiber. Great looking picture and no hiccups (1/2 sec system resets as seen with 2005 Vista HDTV). Lighter than the 35" tube TV it replaced. Like the fact that all connections can be made from the side. Date: 2008-08-29 Best Bang for the Buck - as Good as Advertised I want to thank all the previous reviewers for their comments on this product - they were important in helping me choose this set. For approximately $1,700, there is no way you can go wrong with this purchase. My Amazon order was smooth (they even gave me credit for a price drop within 30-days). The delivery was on time and effective - they even unpacked the product in my house. The set is surprisingly light, and the setup was simple. The HD picture is incredible, while the non-HD picture is acceptable for a 61" screen. Unless your space has depth limitations or you are intending to mount a set to the wall, bypass all the expensive flat panel alternatives and buy this set.
