I just got this TV on 5/1/09. I'm not big on writing reviews 1 day after i purchase an item, because last time i wrote a good review of a TV after i had purchased it it broke after 1 year.
Any who, I bought this open box so it was only 699$. Great Deal!. The picture quality on this TV is FANTASTIC with HDMI. I use the HDMI for my PS3 and all the colors are vivid and just jump off the screen. For TV however i only have a Standard definition signal, but even on Standard def this TV looks really good! The Sound isn't the greatest, but it has many options to tweak it to your liking. (No TV unless you shell out the big bucks is gonna have fantastic sound. and if your like me and you have a smaller room the sound can be very good.) This TV has so many options to tweak the picture. So easy to set up, and so Powerful.
60:000:1 Contrast Ratio. 5ms Response time on a 60Hz TV is crazy. I was looking for a TV for a long time, I think i found my TV now!!! If you can Find This TV open box, jump on it and make sure you purchase the insurance cause you never know what your getting with open box as far of how much its been used. and what it has with it. But if you cant 899$ is still a great price for this TV.
Your also getting the Quality and the assurance of a big name brand. I made the mistake of buying a cheap name brand last time and it ended with me not having a warranty, and the company went out of business so there was no more parts for it. I had to pay a repair man 54$ to tell me he couldn't fix my TV!!! all I can say is lesson learned!
What's great about it: Perfect Size, Fast Response time, Amazing Colors, Great PRICE!
