Don't buy it

Screen went black after a little more than a year. Warrranty expired. Best guess is that fluorescent tube blew out or was defective. Tube is supposed to have a lifetime of 50,000 hours according to manual. Local TV repair and computer centers told...

convenient little TV

So far this TV is fine, but nothing special. The wide screen gives the picture an "off" quality to me, and I don't know if that is just true of all wide screens. Picture is not as clear as I get from my Panasonic flat screen, audio is fine, but for...
