$1,600 TV Should Last More Than 5 Years

I agree with the favorable reviews of this TV. The picture quality and features are/were great. But after only 5 years of service, the TV no longer works. The unit will no longer turn on. Working one day, not working the next. Over the past five...

It is now 2005 and the 1080 is absolutely stunning. There is still not a plasma or LCD that can do better than this picture in my opinion. I read the first reviews and boy did he have it hooked up wrong..anyway...if you want the best, that is what you...

Product Specifications

Widescreen TVs feature a width-to-height ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing cinema-style entertainment at home. The widescreen aspect ratio enables full-screen viewing of high-definition broadcasts and DVD videos. Compared to regular curved screens, the PureFlat screen produces fewer reflections, so you can enjoy distraction-free TV viewing no matter where you sit in the room. You can view two programs at once by dividing the screen in half down the middle. Each program is shown at full height, with one program on the left side and the other on the right. Artificial Intelligence Picture Control continuously monitors signal conditions to maintain a high degree of contrast. It looks at all areas of the picture at the same time, and if a particular area is too light, it darkens the area without affecting the black level or brightness in the overall picture.
