Customer Reviews

Perfect
This TV is very easy to set up and the difference in HD and regular channels is definitely noticeable. The sound is great - others complain about the sound not going high enough but we have had no problems with the sound and the TV is in our living room. The DVD is definitely a HUGE bonus and I would not buy a flat screen unless it has this option - it eliminates the need to purchase a DVD separately and have another electronic piece to place somewhere.

One setback: there is no 'recall' button on the remote, but compared to the overall positives about this TV, this issue is minor and almost unimportant and I would recommend this TV for bedroom use or living room use in a small apartment.

So far, so good.
After a few weeks of limited use (bedroom TV);

Picture is great. Sound is ok for smaller, quiet room. Remote is not the best: no channel return button to go back and forth. Lag time when switching channels is a bit too long for my liking. DVD works and plays well. Very convenient.

Can't be viewed from low angles
As soon as the TV was connected and powered on I realized it would be going back immediately. This TV incorporates a display that can't be viewed from lower viewing angles--a problem when mounting the TV at a location above eye level. It's a similar phenomenon on many lap top computers. It may an intentional design in order to consume less energy. The lesson I learned from this TV is that not all LCDs are created equal. I now realize the importance of test viewing any TV. When I went to the local Sam's club to see what they had, I employed my new found knowledge to test all the TVs. Out of the 2 dozen sets, there were only a few that had this viewing limitation, but it is a limitation that needs to be considered before mounting the TV in higher locals.
