I have worked for a cable company as well as a Directv and Dish Network maintainer, so I get a look at TVs at every price level. That said this is a pretty good TV, at the price it goes for this is a great TV. I use it with digital cable, mostly High Def, also an Xbox 360 and a PS3 all through HDMI connections. After some initial tweaking the picture is beautiful. There is no adjustment for the backlight so the picture is very bright,and while this great for rooms with a lot of ambient light, this leads to the one problem that I have with this set, during very bright, usually sunlight scenes, there is considerable blooming of the lighted objects. It only manifest itself under certain conditions and by no means often, but you should be aware. If you're not looking for perfection from a set, just a good picture at a great price, here it is.
*UPDATE* OK, I had the TV for almost a year now and I must say I'm still impressed with what I got for my money.However, for the zealots out there let me point out a couple of things. First, there are not separate picture settings for each of the inputs, I really thought it would be a problem once I realized it, but I have no complaints with it at all, the picture is great no matter what input I'm using. Next, as I mentioned in when I first got it there's no back-light adjustment, which I also thought would be a major problem, however I noticed that I only see the blooming in the picture with DVDs on my PS3, everything is being fed with HDMI cables, but I only notice the almost glow off of the PS3. So, as I said before if your looking a tier 1 TV you can brag to your friends about, look elsewhere, but if you want a good TV, a PS3, a few new DVDs, and dinner with your girlfriend for the same price, check this baby out! |
