Watching a great game in HD with this tv

By Tris from Madison, WI on 03/2/2010.

Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Cons:	Ok not great remote
Pros:	Reduced Glare, Good Connection Options, Attractive Design, Great Sound Quality, Fast Setup, Great Picture Quality, Good Resolution
Best Uses:	Video Games, Home Theater, Home, Movies

This is a great LCD tv. Setup is easy and easily adjustable. Connections are plentiful and it offers an optical audio connection output for those that want to add surround sound to the show they are already watching. It has 120hz and the motion flow of the players I'm watching right now has nearly no blur what so ever. Can't wait to watch the World Cup on this baby. Watched Black Hawk Down last night and Spartacus and the tv was simply amazing. My only complaint is the layout of the remote is not the most friendly, but with most cable/satellite setups now, you only need to use their remote to switch between inputs anyways, so it's a moot point.

Excellent TV!

This is my first HDTV and I am really happy with it. It was really easy to set up and I am extremely happy with all aspects of its performance. The price was great... I still haven't seen this TV cheaper than what I paid for it with ABT.com!
