Customer Review: Great TV, but HD service is required
I saw this TV in a big electronics store in February while visiting friends in San Diego and was really impressed with the quality of the picture. I had researched TVs in Consumer Reports a year ago and had decided that a 720 p was all I needed because of the limited number of programs being transmitted in HD and the increase in monthly service from Direct TV for the HD signal. But I put off the purchase and now a year later I had a hard time finding a 42″ TV that wasn’t 1080. I was also impressed with the 120 Hz vs the 60 Hz. The TV arrived and as soon as I hooked it up to my Standard Def Direct TV DVR I was very dissatified with the fuzzy pictures. All the SD programs that I was paying for looked aweful because the screen was so much larger than what we had before. So I called Direct TV and upgraded to HD service. After installation of a new oval dish and a new HD DVR, the picture quality is fantastic, even for programs that don’t appear on the Direct TV program guide as coming in HD. The only problem I’m having is that I can’t get the TV remote to recognize the brand new Direct TV DVR. Instead we programmed the DVR remote to recognize the TV but the DVR remote can’t do all the functions that are on the TV, so we still need both remotes.
Customer Review: Excellent TV, even better when you figure in the low price!
I purchased this television locally, and I absolutely love it! The picture is incredible, especially on my Playstation 3 (games and movies). I haven’t even tweaked the settings much yet, and it is a beautiful picture. I can’t believe the number of features crammed into this television for the price (I paid $1099). This set had many more features than similarly priced Sony, Samsung, or Sharp models. The setup was incredibly easy, also. I just plugged everything right in! I have a DVR, digital cable box, PS3, and home theater system, so I was surprised how well it went. One nice thing is that this set has both analog and digital audio inputs. A friend bought a Philips 47 inch LCD and had problems because it only had digital audio. He had to use the headphone jack to use his home theater (I only add this to show the number of features). The user interface on this set is great, as well, I found it easy to move between inputs, adjust settings, etc. All in all, a wonderful set, and an excellent value at this price!!

Don’t look solely at the rating on this, as there are several idiotic reviews that have nothing to do with the television itself!! Read for yourself and you will see that nearly all of the real ratings for this set are 5 star.
