Watching a great game in HD with this tv
Reviewed by Tris (Enthusiast) from Madison, WI on Mar 02, 2010
Verified Reviewer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
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.
Pros: Great Picture Quality, Great Sound Quality, Good Resolution, Reduced Glare, Attractive Design, Fast Setup, Good Connection Options
Cons: Ok not great remote
Best Uses: Video Games, Home Theater, Movies, Home
