What's great about it: Price and Picture
What's not so great: Setup is a little wonky and the instructions are a bit uclear
Price was right on this one. My gf bought a 42" Insignia purely on price. Went home, hooked it up, and was amazed by the picture. Yet, I had it in mind that I was going to buy a Samsung 60" LED on Labor Day sale prices. I went back to Best Buy to get my TV and as I was checking out the Samsung, I stepped back and rested my hand on the first thing it touched. Lo and Behold it was 55" Insignia with all the same specs as my gf's and on CLEARANCE for 60% less than the Samsung. It was an offer I could not resist. I have not been disappointed by the TV. I love it. Don't be afraid of the generics!
This product has... Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price, Right number of connections, Easy to use remote control
About me... Sports enthusiast, Technically savvy viewer, Gamer, Love to stream movies

This TV is amazing. The price, quality, and everything else.
It looks beautiful off and on. When on picture Quality is remarkable, so life like.
I have this hooked up to a home theater av receiver, and the two work amazing together. You don't have to spend a lot to get a huge, top quality picture.

What's great about it: The fact that it's Massive, Play NBA 2k 11 on it and you'll think it's real people
What's not so great: Big and Heavy, but isn't that the point?
I love this TV, though 5 HDMI ports seems a little much. Running my PC through this TV on HDMI feels a little slow, but it's probably just an adjustment of some sort of mode. X-box 360 run's well on it but you need to remember to plug it into Component 2, Component 1 doesn't work on game mode.
For the Price, 1080p Quality with 120HZ Refresh Rate is awesome. Buy it.

What's great about it: Absolutly Everything!!!!!!!
What's not so great: Not Buying this TV the FIRST TIME AROUND!!!
Hi Again folks! first off I replaced the 55" Dynex I had previously with this Television. Let me tell you the difference is like night and day! for only $100 more I now have a Television that performs as good as the top brand TV's, in fact, in some aspects better than the top brands.
First off, unlike the Dynex 55", there is absolutly no Motion Blur what so ever, with the same HDMI Cables and same Cable Box setting, second I now have full control over picture adjustments, TINT in particular, unlike the Dynex 55" where this was only adjustable in one Mode, Third the sound!! WOW!!! the sound quality is so good, the only time I use my Home theatre System is when watching a Dolby Digital 5.1 Movie, yep thats how good the SRS Surround is on this TV!! and last but not least, no more long turn on time, unlike the Dynex 55".
Folks, this Insignia 55' truly is the BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!!! and with a 2yr warranty its unbeatable!!!! Save yourself the headache of going through what I went through, spend the extra $100 on this TV and Forget about the so called Bargin you think your getting with the 55" Dynex!!!

What's not so great: The blacks could be a little bit darker
I was looking at 55 inch tv's. Compared a ton before making my decision. The picture was pretty much just as good as all of the other 55's. Im impressed with the sound as well! The only difference between this tv and other brands, is the name. If you dont want to pay for the name, and get the same quality, id recommend this tv just as good as the big name brands. 120hz is awesome. The only thing that can be a little better is that the blacks could be a little blacker. Also, this is one of the only tvs that includes the 2 year warranty! Cant beat that!

What's not so great: rear projection tvs have better qaulity
i bought this tv about 10 days ago... ive been using it every night for just watching tv, sports, ps3, and movies. its the 10th day and im still messing with the picture settings because NONE of them are good/work. when watching fast paced sports, the people in the picture lag and change colors by where they are on the TV. has color bleeding 10th day in on the right upper side and bottom left side. AUDIO backround is too loud to hear what people are saying unless you crank it up high. THIS WAS MY FIRST HDTV AND IM STILL SAYING DONT BUY IT. my 1995 rear projection honest to god looks better in standard def and on my ps3. changing tv channels takes soooo long, changing inputs basically "freezes" the TV. just cant believe how BAD this TV's qaulity really is. STAY AWAY.
Best Uses: tv shows thats it, dont even try to watch a sports game horrible.

What's not so great: motion shuttering w/ action scenes
Okay for the price, but the motion shuttering made me return the tv after the first week. It should be said that I'm way too picky with TV's. Any quick movement in HD and the picture looked like it couldn't keep up properly. a note to those who buy it and it works good for them, HDMI 4 (W/ THE GAME MODE ON) IS THE INPUT FOR GAMING OR HI DEF USE. I also experienced pretty bad sound lag, but using HDMI 4 fixed the problem. I wouldn't recommend it if you're ridiculously picky like me, but for casual use I say it's worth it.

What's great about it: Price picture and sound
What's not so great: Sync problem
Picture and sound are good with this product. The problem arose when I played a DVD and put the sound thru my Sony receiver. Major problem with lip-sync. Tried to fix this by adjusting the delay in the receiver; still a big delay. I then saw reviews which describe this problem and also similar with gaming systems. Returned to Best Buy and they were good about refunding my money. Replaced with Sony Bravia LCD 55" product; a smaller delay was noted but it works fine after adjusting delay in receiver menus. Also a Phillips HD TV worked well with this home theater with no sync problems. If you are just using for cable TV, this could be a very good buy. There also may be a way to better compensate for the delay in newer home theater systems.

What's great about it: Excellent Price, good entry level for HDTV
What's not so great: Not so good for movies
If you want a 55" LCD TV that is the most inexpensive, this is the one you want. But be aware that it will be a compromise in picture quality. The onscreen menu to fine tune your color, contrast, etc. will be very easy and speedy to use, but will require fine tuning to get it to your liking. At first, you will notice that pixels will appear in black or dark moments during a movie. If you adjust the onscreen settings to enhance blacks and darker movies, you will lose color. This monitor works best with vivid shows, games, and sports. But once you adjust the screen and learn to compromise for movie watching, it is possible to enjoy this 1080P HDTV, especially the price. Additionally, if you are a first-time buyer in the HDTV market, this monitor is certainly a major improvement. We like how it automatically switches resolution to match programs of different resolution. I am sure other competitors do this as well, but is is a welcome feature.

What's not so great: PC to TV HDMI issues
Before I bought this item I read tons of reviews on BB and Insignia website and was somewhat skeptical about the quality of this product (you have to check Insignia website before you buy this product!!!). Now I've been using it for about a month and I'm very pleased so far.
I'm using it to watch HD movies via BR player or through my PC, and to play Wii with my kids. Most issues other users had with this product were related to sound problems when used with Xbox or home theater/sound enhancement systems. I don't have this systems thus cannot speak on this matter. One issue I did encounter was with HDMI connection from my PC to TV: sound didn't work at all. When I switched to VGA connection the issue was solved without drop in picture quality. Actually, colors were even better through VGA than HDMI.
Again, great TV for casual use plus Wii without home theater/sound enhancement systems. For PC connection I recommend to use VGA cable.

What's not so great: Playability of PS3 (COD-Black Ops)
I love the size and picture, although sound is average not unlike any flat panel LCD. The only drawback was that I couldn't play Call Of Duty-Black OPS. The TV has a bad lag and makes it difficult to play the game. I had to return it and instead tried a Samsung "58 Plasma. It had no problem playing Black Ops on my PlayStation 3. Again if your looking for a set to watch TV it's a good unit.

What's not so great: Poor pic quality in non HD filming
If this is a purchase you simply can't wait for after saving then buy. Key to the statement is "simply can't wait for!" It's how I was and regretted it and I had to upgrade! I was planning on spending more money and found this on sale. GREAT for sporting events once the picture settings are adjusted. Fuzzy pic with HD movies and sitcombs, things like that. Really fuzzy on standard broadcast. I upgraded spending the money I was prepared to spend before I saved for it.
So wait and save more if you can and get one you will like for a long time.
