Got this TV on Superbowl Sunday (how cliche are we?) The game looked just OK. I called our cable provider (realizing that cable box had sound issues - thought it was old TV, but had same issues w/ new one) and they came out with an HDMI cord, an updated cable box and programmed the TV for me. We pay for HD box/service, so I guess that's why we got the cord... anyways, with the new box/cord, the picture is PERFECT. Don't pay for an HDMI cord if you have HD service through your cable provider - they'll give you one. If you don't have an issue that requires a service call, you can go to a cable service center and pick up a cord. It DOES make a HUGE difference. Before cable guy came out, my husband was ready to return the TV, now he (and I!) LOVE it!
What's great about it: Fantastic picture, good price
What's not so great: probably will need to invest in a sound bar sound system
