This tv is only 720p but the difference between 1080i seemed negligible for the difference in price. The only time you would ever notice a difference is watching a blu-ray or playing a video game system such as a ps3 because cable tv output is only in 720.

What's great about it: Awesome picture, great color out of the box,
What's not so great: The speakers are a bit tinny, but average for the class
Love these TV'S, hard to believe that they aren't 1080p the picture is perfect. Easy to setup. I have used these in commercial environments some are over 3 years old and they still look great and they are on for 12 hours a day minimum. Great TV's at any price.

What's great about it: The picture quality is superb
What's not so great: It has the " flat screen" sound quality
I am an avid gamer and I wanted to upgrade my 35" large profile TV to a new Flat screen. And for the price of a 45" I saw this 55". When I buy something I go by the negative reviews , which mainly consisted of screen burn complaints. I guess they were unlucky because this TV is awesome. THE END :)

What's great about it: NOTHING
What's not so great: Quality
I have two of the 55" 720 Insignia TV's. One is 2 1/2 years old and one is 1 1/2 years old. Both are going bad. One of them the screen went completely out... I have sound and NO picture, and prior to going out, it has red burn in the screen, and I don't game here, and have no video game hooked up to it. The other one developed a single vertical line and is now up to three lines. I have had other TV's that lasted for 5 plus years... I have NEVER had a television go bad in such a short time, let alone two.
HORRIBLE TV's. BEWARE

What's great about it: Easy set up, good size, good price, good sound
What's not so great: Not name brand, no Internet connectivity or possibility for it, low number of connections
This was one of the first larger tvs I've bought and it's a great starter tv. It's only 720p but from the distance you should be watching it at you can barely tell a difference. I would reccommend this tv if your buying your first large one.

What's great about it: Big TV for low price
What's not so great: Not the best picture quality for your main viewing area
This TV is a good option for a nice sized flat screen if you have a large bedroom. I wouldn't recommend it for a family/living room as your "main" TV to use because the picture quality isn't the best, but it does well as a secondary TV. As usual with TV's, you get what you pay for. Comparing this TV to others in it's same price range and size at Best Buy, Fry's, Walmart and Sears, it's the better value.

I enjoy this tv. My only complaint is that the "lightness" of the picture fluctuates while watching tv. The screen becomes darker at times, for no apparent reason. The picture is still ok, and easily seen, just a noticable "flicker"

I love this tv for its good picture and overall appearance, it looks like an expensive model for an inexpensive price. the set up was easy and
the way the menu is set up it is easy to understand and adjust
everything if needed. I am an older person whom has a little trouble with all the new technology however this tv is so easy to understand and manouver adjustments I love it.

What's great about it: Picture and sound are great.
What's not so great: nothing so far
OK so we went shopping all over the place to find a TV. We went into Best Buy and found the Insignia. We are on a budget and could not believe the price. $499. It has a great picture and sound. I spent a lot of money eight years ago for a "super cool" t.v. that broke. I have been kind of leary about spending a lot of money. Set up was extremely easy and I just programmed my cable box remote to work my T.V. It's awesome.
