Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The picture is unbelievably good with just the indoor antenna. It is a wonderful tv for the specs and price, and we cannot complain about it.

The speakers provide a much fuller sound than my other tv. Sound seems better some simular sets in the price range. The sound issues remain my only complaint. I have it connected to my stereo when i want exceptional audio and that was easily set up.

The vibrant preset is most vibrant and colorful without the worry of glare or burn in. A lot of these tvs come preset with some pretty harsh settings, so it's really a must to tone down the brightness and color.

Picture is wonderful, very sharp. The picture quality is very high - bright, high definition, good color contrast. We got it for way cheaper than what most people are selling them for.

Menus are brisk and easy to navigate. Av mode is just a quick way to change the picture settings, without going to the menu.

Cons

The tv has terrible problems with ghosting and image retention. It is incredibly disappointing considering the tv's potential. I hope that others tvs work and that they do not receive the fire hazard that i did.

Quality

This tv has excelent quality picture and sound.

This is an amazing tv, cetails pop out of the screen, colors are vibrant (and adjustable) and ambient light sensor is really great.

It definitely makes old or poor quality movies look older or at least points out the flaws.

The built in speakers do a decent job.

Price

For the price, this is a great tv.

Would most definitely recommend at that price or up to $650.

I spent $50 on a $100 set of broken box speakers from logitech.

Seriously the tv was well priced at 650 when i got it thanksgiving 2010.

Shipping

They emailed to confirm the scheduled delivery date and the brought it right up inside my home.

Delivery was prompt, and the guys from pilot were as helpful as could be.

Had delivery scheduled only to be called by the service to say they didn't have anyone available to delivery the tv.

Delivery of the tv was then scheduled for the next day and arrived as planned.

Packaging/appearance

Tv was securely packaged and had all parts & pieces.

Competitiveness

It really seemed to pale in comparison to the panasonic.

The tv quality looks great but one thing i've noticed comparing it to my friends similar tv is that his blacks are blacker.
