Great Purchase
Reviewed by mat (Enthusiast) from Buffalo Grove, IL on Feb 23, 2010
Verified Reviewer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
We bought this television for our family room. It has been great. It was easy to set up. It has a ton of viewing options. It has a real nice labeling feature to label what is hooked to where. We use a surround sound so I cannot comment entirely on the audio, but the small amount that we do hear during games sounds good. We have played Nintendo Wii on this tv and it looks great. We don't have any complaints.
Pros: Attractive Design, Clear Audio, Clear Picture, Easy Controls, Easy To Set Up
Best Uses: Home Theater, Movies, Attached to Computer, Large Rooms

Fabulous TV after fixing lip sync issue
Reviewed by Rich B (Enthusiast) from Loveland, CO on Nov 30, 2009
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
After researching online, I was able to resolve the lip sync issue by first using component cables (rather than HDMI) to connect to my Comcast (Motorola DC3416) cable box. Since I wanted to use an HDMI cable, I also learned that on my Motorola DCT3416 I could change the "additional HDMI settings -> audio output" to L-PCM and this has solved the problem. To get to this setting you must power off the Moto, and then immediately press the MENU key on the front panel.
Cons: Fingerprint magnet frame, Lip sync issue w Comcast
Pros: Good Resolution, Fast Setup, Reduced Glare, Great Picture Quality, Good Connection Options
Best Uses: In a bright room, Home Theater
