This is our main TV and it has worked flawlessly for about a month now. The size was determined by the custom entertainment corner unit we had built a few years ago. 37″ was the largest that would fit. It’s good looking with nice fit and finish details. The delivery service Amazon provided was very good. They unpacked the unit and powered it up on the floor because I had not removed the very heavy big old tube TV. They installed batteries in the remote and turned on the set to assure the screen and sound were functioning. I connected it to my analog cable service (not HDTV) but was disappointed to see it had only one cable/antenna input. I was planning to get free HDTV from my local stations off my antenna. But that would have required me to install a separate switch to disconnect the cable and connect the antenna every time I wanted to get HDTV. I called my cable company to see if they would provide a DVR unit with HDMI output rather than the coax cable type. They could but only if I agreed to pay 3-4 dollars per month more for digital cable service. That was less than I expected so I setup an appointment to get it. Mean time we watched the analogue cable service. I was not impressed. I think the picture was less clear than my old TV. All thoughts of returning the unit disappeared as soon as the digital cable was connected. Picture quality is now excellent! I am very happy with the set over all. Sound quality is also very good. Controls are a little complicated but it is easy to learn the basics and it works well with the Cable’s DVR and remote.

I`ve owned a very nice 32″ LCD TV for about a year now.

I thought about going bigger & this TV was attractive &

priced just right.

When it came in I noticed the picture quality was less than

what I currently own.

A bit of investigation lead me to this:

When you get a TV set bigger than 32″ make sure it ie at

least 120hz. This is very important especially if you

are watching sports.

The “pixels” in a 60hz cannot keep up with fast action

thus causing a slight blur in the pic.

Unfortunately the description of this TV did not even mention

the HZ.

Makes me wander why cause it seems the makers are

dumping the lesser 60hz sets. Well, walla, answer:

A newer & better 240hz is just on the horizon. 4 times

the pixels & picture quality.

Guess it`s like everything else. BUYER BEWARE

I am sure this TV would be more than I expected in every way. When I discovered I had to screw the stand into a tabletop or stand in order for the TV not to fall over that was unacceptable to me. I use a large antique bureau to put my TV’s on and to wreak the beautiful solid walnut surface by inserting a screw was unthinkable. I wish I knew beforehand since it costed me $[...] to send it back. My daughter and I tried to think of other ways to secure the stand but it would have looked terrible.

I purchased this unit for my daughter. She likes it fine. However, people in the picture look to me like they are streached sideways. I have tried all of the possible aspect ratios and the problem is still there. I have not made a big deal out of it because I do not want my daughter to become dissatisfied. However, I thought that you should know.
