 Very nice for the price January 20, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this on a whim for $499 on Black Friday. Didn't set out to get one, but happened to be in line when someone else changed his mind. I normally research the heck out of these kinds of purchases but took a chance due to the price. If given a do-over, I wouldn't change a thing.
Pros:
-Typical LCD TV advantages (lightweight, low power consumption, low heat, no radiation, thin)
-Very bright
-Nice sound from the built-in speakers
-Easy to set up
-Internal HD antenna to pick up HD air signals (I used a $20 antenna to watch the bowl games before my HD service was installed)
-Great HD display on 1080i
-2 HDMI inputs
-2 component inputs
-S video input
-RCA inputs
-PC input w/sound
-Easy to switch to letterbox feature for non-HD shows (which look bad when blown up to full screen)
Cons:
-Takes a long time (relatively) to display the picture when you turn it on
-Takes a long time to cycle through the input devices--you have to go through all of them even if they aren't active
-For some reason, wide shots sometimes look a little fuzzy during sporting events, though this could be caused by my cable provider
-I could not find the proper code to program my remote, but my cable company sent me a 'learning' remote that allowed me to manually set each function. This could be a pain if you don't have that option
Summary:
If you can get a deal on this TV, then it should satisfy you. It's hard to beat for the money. Not all HD channels are equal, so it will take some time to figure them out (I'm still learning). Once you do, the difference is stunning. The resolution is such that it exposes the flaws of non-HD channels, so be prepared to change the settings for those. Also, I would recommend using component inputs or an HDMI input for DVD's or you are going to have a noticeable decrease in picture quality. Be prepared to deal with the hassle of finding a proper code for your remote if you want to consolidate remote controls.

I found this TV at a KMart on clearence for $510, great buy I must say, goregous picture as soon as it warms up (takes a minute or two, a little longer when its fresh out of the box) features are great and the price I paid was unbeatable. Highly recommend, only problem I have had is the universal remote that came with my cable box cannot find a code to use with it.
