A great HDTV. I bought this last week, went home and plugged it into my XBOX 360 and it looks amazing with just component cables - - I play Halo 3 on it and it looks great. It definitely gives me the edge. This was my first HDTV purchase and I'm glad I did my research. The price, brand name, and quality often don't balance out at such a high level. I don't know why people would complain about the sound, I'm in a 10' by 20' room and it sounds great.
The display is crystal clear. I have a Samsung 22'' widescreen monitor for my computer that I just love, and this is basically that on steroids. The thing has very vibrant colors and the remotes pretty cool too. Felt like I was on the Enterprise the first time I used it.
I have noticed this model is advertised at 5ms, I believe it is 6ms - - Correct me if I'm wrong, but this same model is advertised elsewhere @ 6 ms. A good question for customer service before you buy! However, It's still great for games and a great purchase.
Make sure you have a good amount of space in your car if you're going to go pick this up, it wouldn't fit into my 03 Impala's trunk, and thats saying something. We ended up putting it in the backseat so if you have a wider car or pushdown seats you'll be fine. I highly recommend picking this up as its not worth the 100$ in this economy to have them deliver it.
The Best Buy guy unloaded it into my car for me and refused my 5$ tip (I guess they get commission). Good service!
But if it breaks in a year I'll be back spitting fire.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, great picture, decent sound, good brank, and a fantastic price
