This is a very nice set.The TV is really popular and one of the best for the price in the LCD sets.Has nice contrast for a LCD.Only think it lacks is true blacks like most LCD's.True blacks you really wouldnt notice unless you had this TV and a nice DLP side by side in the dark at your house.Nice viewing angles for a projo and handles light in a nice way.This TV would make any HD shopper a awsome set with its crisp,bright, and clear image with awsome detail.Holds HD very well.
I have one and like it quite a bit. My only gripe is that it only has one HDMI input and I would like to have both directv and DVD coming in through HDMI. Other than that no complaints. I paid a little over $2,000 for mine right around Thanksgiving of last year.
