Fine TV, especially for the price November 1, 2006 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
In early October, we ordered this set through Amazon from Beach Audio. When the set came with internal damage, Kris Freeman of Beach Audio took it all in stride. This FN97 model was out of stock, so he sent us the slightly more expensive FH97 model at no extra charge. The new set was delivered and the damaged one picked up at the same time.
The picure on this set is amazing. My husband was pleasantly surprised. We probably sit closer than most people do, about seven feet away, but with a football game, in HD, WOW. With an travel show of the Grand Canyon, when the helicopter banks, you feel like you have to lean with it. The internal cooling fan is much quieter than some reviews led me to believe. There is very little reflection from windows across the room bouncing light off the screen. We like the black thin frame surrounding the screen because of the lack of distraction while watching at night. You can even turn down (or off) the intensity of the blue power button light. Right now, we have it hooked up with the 1080i component output from the SA 3250HD cable box. We have Knology cable. The HDMI input (this set has two) might be even better. We have the set sitting on the Plateau CR-2V(64) stand that we also ordered through Amazon. This stand is within one-eighth an inch of the set's width of 64 and one-eighth inches. On carpet, with the spike feet, the stand is about eighteen inches high. The middle of the screen comes out to a little under 45 inches from the floor.
So far, we are very pleased.

As a Home Theater installer I have yet to see any TV with a better picture. Even without video calibration this TV was Stunning. The perfect match for Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. There where no visible pixels and HD-ILA will not burn in or drop pixels. I cannot say enough about this TV. You really do get what you pay for.
