What's great about it: Beautiful picture, sharp, great sound, no need for external speakers.
What's not so great: REQUIRES HDMI cable for clear image
This was purchased for a primary monitor replacement, and I am not disappointed. The picture quality is fantastic and it performs like a dream, provided, you are using an HDMI cable, anything less will net you a blurry illegible desktop that will leave you wondering why you bought the darn thing (nor will it support high resolution). That said; I am a hardcore game enthusiast, and response is a must for any monitor I use on top of resolution and color, This television does not slouch, I see no ghosts, tracers, or anything of that sort on even my fastest action games. Hawken, Company of Heroes, War Thunder, for example of busy, fast changing imagery, etc. there are hundreds of games it will do just as well on. Skyrim and Crysis 2 looks phenomenal (Note: this unit is paired with a very high end gaming machine to support the graphical needs, Any monitor is only as good as what you feed to it) Yes, I know, this is labeled a TV, But underneath that little tag lies the heart of a fantastic monitor that won't disappoint even the most critical of gamers.
To address those who are looking for primarily a TV, I would say the same rules apply. Don't slouch on the connections if you can afford it. HDMI makes a huge difference as it can handle alot more information to pour out of the screen at you than what a dvi or rgb connection could do. Play a Blu-Ray through it, you will see everything it has to offer. Transformers? Avengers? Dances with Wolves? Every fantastic color, shade, shadow and explosion is yours for the taking. ( if you don't believe me about the connection, see for yourself, watch the same scene twice once with your connection of choice, and once with HDMI, you won't go back.)
And the speakers? They can rock those explosions well enough for anyone to enjoy, no, it's not 7.1 dolby surround with satellites, but you can always get those yourself later. There are various modes that match what you may be doing, Gaming, Music, Cinema, Sport, and custom. It DOES make a world of difference, as the standard setting is rather flat and lacking!
So, whether you are looking for a modest television to fit somewhere compact (a kids room, a gaming room, a studio apartment) or anywhere a big screen just isn't practical, or a fairly good sized monitor for your computer, this tv will suit you beautifully and will not disappoint in the least.
This product has... Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price, Right number of connections, Easy to use remote control, great sound
About me... Technically savvy viewer, Gamer, Love to stream movies, graphic artist
I would recommend this to a friend!

Is there an auto ON feature??
yes, surprisingly there is an 'anti-sleep' timer =) you can set it to turn on when you want the same way you can set a sleep timer, and in the same menu.

Owners Manual CD
The CD will not play on my computer; how do I set it up on windows 8? Help!!!!
Setup is as simple on any monitor/ Operating system. Plug it in. There are no drivers needed for basic use. Use an HDMI cable, else the picture will be blurry. Once you get the cable connected, turn on your computer. =) You will need to set the input on the tv to HDMI, but hey, there's a button on the remote for that! You will also want to tweak your resolution to suit your needs, it will support up to 1920x1080, even though it recommends 1366x768.

Tuner?
I'm looking everywhere... but I don't see where it states it has an analog/digital tuner... I"m looking to screw in an RF coax connector and scanning for channels without a converter box... does it do this?
This model does have a coaxial input available, and a built in tuner. I do not use it for this purpose,(mine is strictly a monitor for my computer) but It was included as part of the initial setup, it will automatically scan for channels during the process. Whether it needs a converter box or not, that remains to be seen, but I would hazard to guess it will work. Good luck and enjoy your tv!

Can the screen be tilted
Does the base allow one to tilt the screen up or down? I plan to use this in the kitchen so I can watch it from my counter, which is higher than the shelf on which the screen would sit. This may not be an ideal viewing angle unless I can tilt the screen.
No, the standard base does not allow for tilting in any direction, unfortunately, but there are some after market mounts you can use to mount it to the wall or countertop/desktop that will allow tilting.
