Look its cheap what do you expect It looks good in HD and has some decent functions... just make sure you have a local service center near you in my state there is only 3 service centers that work on them one is 10 miles from me but the next is 64 miles away i would hate to be someone inbetween... Its not great but its cheap so guess what you get what you pay for!!! *** I dont know what the fasination with SAMSONY is (SAMSUNG has been making SONY LCD panels up until JUNE 08 when SHARP will take over production) YOU WANT QUALITY ASK A REPAIR CENTER THEY ALL SAY ***SHARP*** and if you look around the world it is rated #1 in quality NOT sony
