  Awesome for price

  by messymitch on September 2, 2009

  Pros: Great picture quality. Plays HDTV like a pro. Hooks into my computer with ease using one of the 3 HDMI hookups.

  Cons: The sound quality is kind of poor. I have it turned up to over half way in a small bedroom (15sqft).

  Summary: After some research I found this TV to be the best bang for my buck. I picked it up for about 650 bucks. I recommend it to anyone on a ...

  Pros: I love everything about this TV. It has great picture quality, amazing sound with fantastic simulated surround sound. Most of all I love it when friends come over and gasp and compliment it every time them come over.

  Cons: There are none.

  Summary: This TV offers everything at a bargain! Great picture quality, you would think it is 1080p. The sound quality is fantastic, the speakers do not sound tinny whatsoever, the SRS TruSurround XT does a great job of simulating surround sound. The design of the TV looks like it came from the design studio at Apple. I've been using this TV for over a year now, and haven't had a single problem, no burnt pixels, everything is perfect. BEST TV I'VE EVER OWNED!

  Unbeatable for the price

  by chrisbattista on April 16, 2009

  Pros: 42" lcd new in box for $649.
  Good Black level
  great video adjustments
  all the connections you need

  Cons: picture isn't as good as a samsung or sony, but those brands were $100's more for a smaller screen.
  factory settings are horrible, has to be adjusted.

  Summary: I couldn't have found a bigger or better tv (or one of the same quality) for the price I paid. Under $725 with a 2 year extended warranty.

  Pros: Set has good sound quality and adjustabilitly.

  Cons: Set does not handle figure motion well, when figures move on the screen they blurr or pexial of the edges.

  Summary: System does not upscale/downscale very well at all. I could not recommend purchasing this unit based upon overall picture quality.

  Summary: After reading your article on HDTV a was determine to not buy the most expensive/best HDTV out there, but something good without being expensive as electronic equipment tend to become obsolete very fast. Unknown brand with dubious reliability where discard until this set ended up being the cheapest 42in LCD with good equipment. It was $100 cheaper in the store than the best advetisement I could find. Bear in mind that this is the first HDTV that i've bought. So going from analog 27in to HDTV 42in is a big step for me. What I like best is the ease of installation compare to last TV bought who was a headache to set-up.
  Most of the set-up is automatic with clear understanding of the differents options.
  But the biggest suprise was the number of channels availables in DTV, CATV and TV available, this without satellite or cable. The subscription to satellite TV is postpone indefinitely. A regular DVD provide amazing imagery so much so that I intend to review every film I have in the house. Playing games in the 16:9 format has to be the main feature this TV was bought for and is proving quite an adjustment in perception. All in all, I'm highly satisfied with an amazing product witch is relatively cheap in my opinion. My only concern is reliability witch is yet to be proven, only time will tell.
