"Great value relative to other LCDs"

 

170 angle of view - Anti-glare (like tilting the rearview in the car) - With component video cables for DVD($30) and Xbox($20), you play 480p,720p,1080p Xbox Games and progressive scan DVDs - SRS sound - Stand tilts vertically and horizontally by about

Still pretty expensive but depreciating at about $100/month - Remote is bulky and buttons could be more durable - No clock/date display function - Doesn't have true Black - The AV box has a barely noticeable hum

Consumer review by:

"Good TV Disregard Phillip"

 

The TV is great quality, but unlike the other poster mentioned, the cables make virtually NO difference. Do not waste your money on expensive cables that do NOTHING, turst me as a person who has spent 15 years working in the business

This TV is just OK, I would recommend it though there are better choices out there. Not bad for a guest room

excellent LCD HDTV

This is my first wide screen HDTV and I am impressed. Just watched "Friday Night Lights" with a composite video cable from a progressive scan DVD player. Now I know it's pathetic to use that low end cable but it's all I have until I get component...

Truely is worth every penny

In all seriousness, if you are looking for a quality flat-screen TV, your search is over. The clarity, plus the features, and the good customer service make this a great buy. It would be nice if it were slightly larger for the price, but I can't really...
