I purchased this tv actually in Omaha NE at Nebraska Furniture Mart when I was actually looking for some furniture about a year and 2 months. At first I had just over the air HD channels then decided to get hd cable. Now I have Dish HD and wow, after daily use for at least couple hours every day, it consistently works with no issues. I did absolutely no research on this tv at all, pretty much just compared the pictures from other sets, this one won hands down. I did purchase the optional extended warranty so of course I haven't had any issues, had I not, probably would have died a day after the manufactures warranty ran out. I gave this to my parents for the family room since their Hitachi projection screen tv of 8 years died. I am buying another one, to replace it, however in 120hz. My parents are in their 50's and love it. It is hooked up via monster hdmi cables to the sat and also the sony dvd sound system as I didn't like the speakers. I have always had my tv hooked up to a sound system. With all these electronics these days made in China, I just hope my next one works as good as this one. I think the other brands probably have the same issues ie not turning on, just quit, etc. lets face it they are all made in China. And as always, now this tv is about $300 less than last year, but at least I did get 0% for 3yrs.
What's great about it: Crisp Pictures in HD channels or 1080 upconvert dvd
What's not so great: If it is an action movie or game, some pixelation occurs, i barely watch those so don't care
