Noteworthy Features: Has a 46-inch screen size.This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.This TV can display images that are sharper and more realistic than regular television when connected to a high definition signal.The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Weaker Features: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Made for those who want to enjoy an ultra-sharp picture from an ultra-thin TV.Also, a wide aspect TV such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: Overall, this TV's features are as expected for this price.However, the average price of liquid crystal display televisions with similar viewable size is considerably more -- right around $2,225.
