vizio vo320e lcd panel pricelist

Vizio chose to adorn its VO320E 32-inch LCD with claims of environmental consciousness, saying the little set exceeds Energy Star guidelines by 15 percent. But that"s not a very high standard, and according to our tests the Vizio, while definitely no power hog, sips just a couple bucks less juice per year than other LCDs in its class. Its true appeal is low price combined with perfectly acceptable picture quality. A couple of flaws might give black level sticklers or dual-use PC/TV aficionados pause, but other bargain hunters should consider this entry-level Vizio among the better LCDs in its class.

The Vizio VO320E is one of the more conservative-looking TVs out there, toning down the glossy black around the screen with a wider border of matte black perforated by thousands of tiny holes. Some accent is provided by a strip of reflective silver along the bottom of the squared-off frame, as well as by the glowing (and unfortunately not user-dimmable) Vizio logo. The matte plastic stand feels a bit cheap, and doesn"t swivel.

Vizio"s chunky little glossy black remote quickly became grimy with our fingerprints. The clicker has a minimum of keys and, in an unusual but not inconvenient move, combines the "enter" and "menu" keys into one button in the middle of the directional keypad. We did like the direct access buttons, such as "HDMI" and "AV," for quick jumps to specific inputs but were annoyed at the lack of a dedicated button for aspect ratio.

Like most less expensive 32-inch TVs, the Vizio has a native resolution of 1,366x768, or 720p, as opposed to the 1080p resolution found on step-up models. Of course, at this screen size the benefits of 1080p are negligible, except with computer sources, so we don"t consider this feature omission a big deal.

The VO320E sports an above-average selection of features otherwise. Its best move in our book is the ability to adjust color temperature beyond the standard four presets. There"s also a healthy selection of nine picture modes, including four sports-themed options (football, baseball, golf and basketball). In case you"re wondering, setting the TV to "basketball" didn"t immediately improve the look of the Lakers game, for example, but we do appreciate having all of those extra picture modes to play around with. You can adjust all of them, and one, entitled Custom, is independent per input.

Despite Vizio calling the VO320E an "Eco" model it doesn"t have any special power-saving features. There"s no specific power saver setting or picture mode, for example, as seen on many other TVs, and it was also missing the Home/Store dialog that makes sure the default picture setting is not set to "torch mode" during initial setup. The VO320E has four aspect-ratio choices with standard-def sources and three with high-def.

Connectivity on the VO320E is average for the entry-level breed. It has two total HDMI inputs, both located on the back panel, two component-video inputs (one located on the side, which can also serve as a composite video input), one VGA-style PC input, one AV input with S-Video (a second AV input with just composite video is located on the side), an RF input for antenna or cable, and an optical digital audio output.

The Vizio showed relatively accurate color and realistic shadow detail. Its PC picture quality fell a bit short, however, and there are similarly priced LCDs that produce deeper black levels.

The initial Movie setting of the Vizio delivered the most accurate picture, and in particular we were impressed by its relatively linear grayscale in that mode"s default "Normal" color temperature preset. It delivered solid "before" numbers (see the Geek Box below), albeit with a pronounced greenish tinge. A few tweaks to the custom color temp settings, in addition to reducing light output to our nominal 40ftl level, were the major changes we made to the basic picture settings in our calibration. In the end we saw a slight improvement in grayscale accuracy (although we couldn"t improve the top and bottom ends of the scale much, so "after" got a "poor" rating), removal of the green tinge, and very good gamma (2.18 versus the ideal of 2.2).

As part of our normal calibration, we typically disable settings that modify the picture on the fly, and the Vizio"s DCR backlight is one such option. DCR did improve black levels slightly, but the fluctuations it produced were not worth the tradeoff, so we left it disabled.

We compared the Vizio to a few other entry-level LCDs we had on hand, including the LG 32LH20, Panasonic TC-32LX1, the Samsung LN32B360, the Sharp LC-32D47U, the Sony KDL-32L5000, the Toshiba 32AV502U, and the Westinghouse SK-32H640G. We also employed our trusty Pioneer PRO-111FD as a reference--obviously, it shouldn"t be compared to any of these LCDs. Our Blu-ray of choice for most of the image quality tests in this comparison was the superb-looking "Baraka" played at 1080i (to ensure full compatibility) from our Sony PlayStation3.

Black level: The Vizio fell toward the bottom of the black-level pack. It showed a lighter shade of black than any of the other sets in our comparison except for the LG, Panasonic and Westinghouse. The differences were most visible in dark scenes, such as the sky around the eclipse at the beginning of Chapter 20 or the dark silhouettes of the temples in Chapter 22. In brighter scenes, the differences in dark areas evened out significantly, but we could still make them out, especially in areas like the letterbox bars.

On the other hand, the VO320E looked among the most natural in shadowy areas, revealing all of the detail in the darkened temple areas but not appearing too bright, as we saw on the Toshiba for example.

Color accuracy: The VO320E delivered one of the better performances in this department, anchored by its relatively accurate grayscale. The faces of the subway riders at the beginning of Chapter 11 provided a good example, with pale skin that was not too sick-looking, although it was slightly ruddy. We would have liked to see better saturation, especially in areas like the woman"s orange blouse and jade necklace, or in the elaborate costumes of the tribespeople in Chapter 7. The Vizio"s color decoding pushed red so we had to reduce the color control to compensate.

Primary and secondary colors came quite close to the standard, which helped lend realism to the lush green jungle plants and the pale blue sky in Chapter 4 .As usual for LCDs, the eclipse, the letterbox bars and other dark areas on the Vizio showed a bluish cast, which was less obvious in the Samsung, Sony. and Toshiba but worse on the others in our comparison.

Video processing: The Vizio doesn"t perform much overt processing, such as the dejudder seen on higher-end LCDs, and since it has 720p resolution our motion resolution test isn"t valid. We expect the Vizio would perform about the same as other 60Hz displays, and as usual we didn"t notice any motion blur in our viewing.

Uniformity: We don"t have any major complaints in this area. The Vizio"s screen remained relatively even across its surface, with no obvious brighter areas, and off-angle performance surpassed that of the Panasonic, Sharp, and Westinghouse, remaining about the same as the Sony and Toshiba.

Bright lighting: Like most matte-screened LCDs, the Vizio performed relatively well under bright lights, attenuating ambient light admirably. It was no better or worse than any of the other sets in our lineup, which all have similar screens.

Standard-definition: With standard-def sources, the Vizio was an above-average performer. It delivered every line of the DVD format and details in the grass and stone bridge looked as sharp as we"d expect. It eliminated jaggies from moving diagonal lines and a waving American flag better than most of its competitors including the Sharp, Westinghouse and Toshiba. Its noise reduction didn"t perform quite as well, however, leaving some video noise in the worst areas and softening the image a bit more than most of the other sets. The VO320E also engaged 2:3 pulldown detection quickly and effectively.

PC: The Vizio didn"t perform as well as we expected with PC sources. Via VGA it failed to fully resolve a 1,360x768 source, showing less than the full horizontal resolution per DisplayMate and evincing softer text. Via HDMI we couldn"t get the image to fill the screen at the native resolution using our test Toshiba T-135 laptop running Windows 7, and the small window that was shown looked cramped. Perhaps a different PC would yield different results, but the laptop worked fine on other displays in our comparison.

Power consumption: As we mentioned at the top our tests showed the Vizio didn"t beat other LCDs" efficiency by leaps and bounds, outpacing the Toshiba 32AV502U by about $1 per year, for example. Still, paying to keep this TV in juice won"t put you in the poorhouse.

The Vizio VO320E has a common refresh rate 60Hz. It means that the image on the screen is updated 60 times per second. The more pictures per second are displayed - the more realistic the motion will look on your TV.

This so far has been a great purchase and I would highly recommend the VO320E to anyone considering purchasing a 32" flat panel. I am currently using this unit for both a secondary HDTV in my bedroom and an RGB PC monitor for my computer needs.

As a flat panel PC monitor it is also wonderful. Very sharp and response is also great. I not only use it for normal day to day routine PC functions like internet, email, etc. but, also use to to view TV and movie feeds off the internet. At the 1366 x 768 native resolutionyou are able to view full screen at HD quality.

All in all it has been a great purchase though I have only had it for just over 30 days. At the price point it is an exceptional value and again I would recommend the VO320E highly to anyone considering a 32" HDTV/PC monitor.Read full review

The front of the Vizio VO320E has a glossy black edging around the display, and then turns into a dotted, matte black bezel. The Vizio logo underneath the display lights up, while the speakers are built into the bezel along the bottom.

On the back of the Vizio VO320E you find the power input on the left side and a collection of ports on the right side. You also find the mounting points for mounting the VO320E on a wall. For information about the ports on the back of the Vizio VO320E see our Connectivity section.

There are no features on the right side of the Vizio VO320E. On the left side you find the on-tv controls and a small selection of ports. For information about the ports on the side of the Vizio VO320E see our Connectivity section.

The on-tv controls for the Vizio VO320E are found on the right side of the television, recessed slightly behind the display and sitting just above the ports found on that side. The buttons themselves look somewhat like keys from a piano, and are glossy black. They are built to press "in" towards the front of the television, so you can easily reach around and press them. Unfortunately they are all exactly the same, so you can"t tell what button you are pressing by feel.

The Vizio VO320E"s remote controls is a small and simple glossy black affair. As far as looks, well let"s just say it"s not the most attractive remote we"ve ever seen.

The Vizio VO320E ships with the bare minimum, a manual, remote control and batteries. There"s no cleaning cloth or HDMI cable included. There is some assembly required for the Vizio VO320E, but the base slots very easily into the display, and is held in place by a single screw that can be tightened by hand.

The Vizio VO320E is not a particularly attractive television. They style is somewhat blocky and we don"t particularly like the bezel. That said it"s not going to stand out as an eyesore as the simple black design should blend into your decor easily.

We measured the Vizio VO320E"s black level at an unimpressive 0.38 candelas per meter squared (cd/m2). This is significantly worse than our average HDTV, and you can see below that all three of our comparison models have significantly lower black levels. What this means is that you will likely lose some detail in dark areas with the VO320E.

The Vizio VO320E proved plenty bright, measuring 342.51 cd/m2 in our testing. This is plenty bright for almost any situation, unless you"re shining a light directly on the display you won"t have any problems, and in most situations you"ll probably want to turn the backlight down a bit. You can see below that the VO320E compares favorably with other HDTVs.

Due to the poor black level on the Vizio VO320E it"s contrast ratio is a lackluster 901:1. This is significantly below average and compares very poorly to the LG 32LH20 and Samsung LN32B360, as you can see below. It"s about the same as the Panasonic TC-P42X1, although in that case it"s the poor peak brightness that led to a poor contrast ratio.

In this test we look at how well the black level holds up as there is progressively less black displayed on the screen. This is important because you don"t want the black level to vary as this will have a significant impact on your contrast ratio as the content on the television changes. Thankfully this is not a problem for the Vizio VO320E. You can see from the chart below that the black level stays rock solid as the amount of black on the display goes from 100% to 5%.

This test is the opposite of the previous one. Here we look at how well the peak brightness holds up as progressively less white is displayed on the screen. Once again the Vizio VO320E performs well, as the chart below makes clear.

Here we look at the uniformity of the Vizio VO320E"s display, using both a black and white screen. What we"re looking for are problems with dimming or brightness along the edges and corners, or blotches in the middle of the screen. We found that the Vizio VO320E did very well in this test. The center of the screen was smooth in both the black and white screens, while dimming and brightness in the corners was minimal.

Gamma is the curve along which a television makes adjustments from light to dark. A higher gamma means the television is more aggressive, while a lower one means it is more gradual. The Vizio VO320E"s gamma was measured at 2.88, which is significantly higher than our ideal of 2.1 to 2.2. What this means is that you are likely to lose detail at the extremes of light and dark, where subtle changes in brightness occur.

The Vizio VO320E is a 720p HDTV, which means it has a native resolution of 1366 x 768. Most content that you will watch on the television doesn"t come at this resolution, and in this section we look at how well the VO320E handles the scaling of content at other resolutions.

This is the resolution at which standard definition content comes into your television. This is used by both standard definition television broadcasts, as well as DVDs. The Vizio VO320E did a good job scaling this content up to it"s native resolution. We saw some overscan, with about 3% of the content being lost along every edge. There were no problems with legibility or resolution, but we did notice some issues with moire patterns. These occur when the television has problems processing and then scaling complex patterns.

This is the highest resolution of content widely available at 1920 x 1080, but the "i" at the end means that the 1080 vertical lines are interlaced, with two alternating sets of 540 lines. The Vizio VO320E had some serious problems with 1080i content, with terrible moire patterns appearing, poor legibility and some problems with fine resolution. This is a serious concern as most HD content that you get from cable and broadcast providers comes in at 1080i, so if you"re going to watch HD content on the VO320E you need to be concerned about whether it will be properly processed.

Like 1080i, 1080p content comes in at a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Unlike 1080i, however, 1080p content displays all 1080 vertical lines at the same time, thus the "p" stands for progressive. This usually produces a better picture, which is why Blu-ray discs use this format. Unfortunately the Vizio VO320E had just as many problems with 1080p as it did with 1080i, with terrible moire patterns and poor resolution and legibility.

The Vizio VO320E had significant problems keeping the color temperature of the display stable. Like any other object that emits light an HDTVs display can have a yellowish or bluish cast depending on the color temperature. With the Vizio VO320E we found that the color temperature varied widely across the range from light to dark, mostly in the direction of causing a yellowish cast, as you can see from the chart below.

The Vizio VO320E did a reasonable job producing accurate reds, greens and blues. This is important because all of the colors your television produces are created by mixing these three primary colors. Below you can see a graph of the three colors plotted against intensity and normalized.

Every television is supposed to adhere to an international standard for color gamut, known as Rec.709. What this standard does is make sure that colors look the same on every television. Frankly we"ve found in our testing that most televisions struggle to match this standard exactly, and as you can see below the Vizio VO320E does have innacuracies in several areas.

Like most entry-level HDTVs the Vizio VO320E uses the standard 60Hz refresh rate rather than the 120Hz or 240Hz you find on more expensive televisions. This means you can expect motion blur to be worse on the VO320E, but we found that it"s not just worse, it"s much, much worse. Faces turn into a muddy mess on the display, and solid objects have large trailing shadows. This isn"t a television you want if you"re really into fast action movies.

Artifacts are things that appear on the display due to errors in processing and aren"t in the original picture. The Vizio VO320E had some serious problems with artifacts. First of all there"s a very noticeable rolling shutter effect in areas of black and white. What"s more there are visible distortions in even relatively static objects, and there are leading bright areas as the display struggles to create more controst on moving objects. All in all not a very impressive performance.

3:2 pulldown is the process by which a television takes a signal that comes in at 60 frames per second (fps) and converts it to 24 fps. This is done to give content a film-like look. The Vizio VO320E does a reasonable job here, with only minor glitches in our test patterns as it performed this process. The television is also able to take content that comes in natively at 24 fps, from a DVD or Blu-ray player.

The Vizio VO320E does not have a particularly impressive viewing angle, which we measured at 19.52 degrees from center. This is the point at which the contrast ratio on the display will fall below 50% of maximum. Below you can see the VO320E"s viewing angle compared to other HDTVs. It actually is the best of the LCD bunch, not surprising as these are all low-end models and rarely do low-end LCDs have a good viewing angle. With the Panasonic TC-P42X1, however, you can see the big benefit that plasma televisions get in viewing angle.

The Vizio VO320E"s display makes a valiant effort to diffuse light, but the unfortunate result is a large messy bright spot on the screen, something that is very annoying, especially when watching dark movies. We recommend you place your lights carefully in the room with this television.

As with most HDTVs the Vizio VO320E offes a variety of different video processing options that are meant to help improve picture quality in certain situations. In the table below we look at each of these options and describe what we saw.

As with most HDTVs the Vizio VO320E offers a variety of different video modes that are supposed to adjust settings for different viewing situations. Below you can see all the video modes offered on the Vizio VO320E. Unfortunately Vizio doesn"t provide in depth explanations for what the modes do, but most are self-explanatory.

The Vizio VO320E"s remote is a small, block black plastic affair that fits comfortably into your hands, but doesn"t do much on the design front. In fact it feels pretty cheap, and we wouldn"t vouch for it"s durability over the long term.

There aren"t a lot of buttons on the Vizio VO320E"s remote. This, combined with the small size of the remote, mean accessing the buttons you want is a simple affair, with the directional pad along with volume and channel controls in easy reach. The buttons themselves are hard plastic with decent key travel.

The Vizio VO320E has ports on both the back and the left side. On the back all of the ports are arranged in a single group on the right side when facing the back. Here you will find two HDMI ports with an associated analog audio input, one component video input and one composite video input as well as an S-Video and VGA input. You"ll also find the RF input for cable/antenna, analog audio inputs for the composite and component video inputs and a 3.5mm audio in for the VGA port.

As with most HDTVs the only output ports on the Vizio VO320E are for audio. The first is an optical audio out located on the back and just below it is an analog audio out. We"re happy to see the latter as some other HDTVs we"ve reviewed recently have omitted it.

The Vizio VO320E"s ports are reasonabley well placed. The ones located on the left side are easy to access in any situations. The ports on the back should be easy to access if the television is on a stand, given how small it is you won"t have trouble moving it despite the non-rotating stand. If you have it mounted on a wall, however, the ports on the back will be harder to access, especially as they are recessed rather deeply.

Audio from the Vizio VO320E"s built-in speakers is clear, but rather flat. This can be somewhat improved by turning on the simulated surround sound feature, which adds some depth, but even with this feature on the audio quality is nowhere near as good as even a cheap set of surround sound speakers. Still, if you"re not an audiophile the audio quality should be fine.

The Vizio VO320E"s menu interface is the same that we"ve seen on other modern Vizio televisions. Pressing the menu button will give you a simple top level interface where you can adjust the picture and audio modes. Entering deeper into the menus will give you finer controls.

The Vizio VO320E is a 720p television, which means it has a native resolution of 1366 x 768. This is lower than the highest HD resolution of 1080p, so the television is forced to scale content down. It doesn"t do a great job of this, unfortunately, as you can see in our Blacks & Whites section. The television does do a good job converting content via the 3:2 pulldown process to give you a film-like look and it also handles native 24fps content.

The Vizio VO320E"s does a good job keeping power consumption down. In our tests we found that when calibrated to 200 candelas per meter squared, which is our standard for this test, it uses an average of 69.6 watts, which works out to an annual cost of $13.59 for the average family. Below you can see the power usage with the backlight turned all the way up and all the way down as well.

The Vizio VO320E and LG 32LH20 are comparable in many ways. Both are priced around $450, both have a 720p resolution and both are 32-inch displays. From a performance standpoint, however, the 32LH20 beats out the VO320E almost across the board, making it the better value of the two.

The LG 32LH20 is the clear winner here as it sports a significantly lower black level with a peak brightness very similar to the Vizio VO320E. This means it has a much better contrast ratio, as you can see below.

The LG 32LH20 has a rock solid color temperature, something that"s a problem on the VO320E. It also performs slightly better in terms of color accuracy and color gamut.

Neither television has the high refresh rates you see on more expensive models, but the LG 32LH20 nonetheless comes off with significantly less blurring than the VO320E. It also produces fewer artifacts, although it doesn"t do a great job in that area either.

The Vizio VO320E offers slightly better connectivity options, with an additional component and composite input over the LG 32LH20 as well as an S-Video port and analog audio out that the LG model lacks.

We liked the look and feel of the LG 32LH20"s remote a lot better than the Vizio VO320E. Both television offer reasonable audio quality, with the VO320E just slightly better.

The Samsung LN32B360 is our top-rated 32-inch LCD television, and for only $30 more than the Vizio VO320E is offers both better performance in many areas. That doesn"t mean it"s perfect, the VO320E has better connectivity options and better audio quality from the built-in speakers. But if push came to shove we"d go with the Samsung here due to it"s far superior contrast ratio.

This is the area where the Samsung LN32B360 blows away the Vizio VO320E, with much deeper blacks and a contrast ratio almost five times as wide as the Vizio model.

The Vizio VO320E did a better job matching the industry standard for color gamut, while RGB performance was very similar between it and the Samsung LN32B360. The Samsung model, however, did a far better job keeping the color temperature steady, which means you won"t get strange color casts to your content.

Both television have the standard 60Hz refresh rate, but the Samsung model did much better with both motion blur and motion artifacts than the Vizio VO320E.

The Vizio VO320E offers slightly better connectivity options, with an S-Video port that the Samsung LN32B360 lacks and additional composite and component video inputs.

Despite being significantly larger, the 42-inch Panasonic TC-P42X1 is not that much more expensive than the Vizio VO320E at about $550. It"s also a Plasma display, which means it has much deeper blacks than the VO320E and handles motion much better. Although the Vizio does perform better in several areas, including more accurate RGB, a much brighter display and better audio quality. It"s a close call here, frankly neither television is what we would call impressive, but we"ll take the much larger display of the Panasonic for only about $100 more.

This is an interesting comparison as the Panasonic model offers much deeper blacks, but the Vizio offers much more brightness. The two pretty much cancel out and both televisions have remarkably similar contrast ratios. Neither television, therefore, is particulary good here. Normally we"d take deep blacks over brightness, but the Panasonic is so dim that we can"t recommend it strongly.

This is a mixed bag, with the Panasonic offering a much more stable color temperature than the Vizio VO320E, while the latter offers better color accuracy.

Plasma televisions traditionally do a much better job with motion performance than LCD displays, and this is certainly the case here as the Panasonic TC-P42X1 does a much better job with motion blur and artifacting than the Vizio VO320E.

This is another area where Plasma televisions perform better than LCD"s on average, and in this case the difference is dramatic as the Panasonic model offers a viewing angle over three times better than the Vizio VO320E.

The Panasonic model offers significantly better connectivity options than the Vizio VO320E, with one extra HDMI port and a slot for SD cards so you can view photos stored on the card on your display.

There are only two models in Vizio"s VOxx0E series of televisions, the 32-inch model we reviewed here and a 42-inch model. The key differences aside from size is that the 42-inch models sports a full 1080p resolution, while the 32-inch model has only a 720p resolution and the 42-inch model has an additional HDMI port.

I bought three new 32-inch LCD TVs in one week, and returned the first two because of faulty video inputs. The third TV I bought is this high-quality, Panasonic TC-L32X2 TV, which was just released in February 2010. My experience enabled me to compare three similar TVs, giving me good insight to write this review.

I initially bought two other 32-inch LCD TVs; a Vizio VO320E and a Sony BRAVIA BX 300 Series (model KDL-32BX300). I returned both of them because of identical video input problems. I connected two different brands of DVD players to each TV, and when I played DVDs, there were alternating horizontal stripes of discoloration on the screen, indicating a problem with the video inputs on the TVs. I returned both TVs to the retailer because both of these DVD players worked perfectly on two other TVs in my house, including a one-year-old Panasonic plasma.

After trying two other flat screen TVs and studying different models in showrooms and on the the web, my wife and I gave this model a try. My wife can be very sensitive to the intensity of an LCD TV picture and one thing she likes about this TV is that is has great adjustments for contrast, brightness, etc. In particular, the “Cinema” setting tones the brightness down and gives good picture clarity. She can also select a picture size or formatting that makes videos, widescreen or full screen DVDs, etc., all look good. Furthermore, there is no noticeable blurring. Overall the quality of the picture is superb, and it was worth paying a little more for the 1080p. Even TV programs not broadcast in high-def look great. In addition, unlike other TVs, the speakers provide sound of sufficient volume and excellent quality. I also like that it has plenty of inputs (including 3 HDMI, 1 component, and 2 composite inputs). Its ability to interface with SD cards and computers is also neat. And, in my limited experience, Panasonic has excellent customer service, with personnel who, in general, are more knowledgeable than most I have talked with at Samsung in regards to that company’s products. My only complaint is that the only audio output on this TV is digital/optical (for new “home entertainment” systems), which, apparently, is the direction newer LCD TVs this size and up are going. Sometimes I need to use headphones when I am playing something to which my wife does not want to listen. In order to do this I connect my Blu-Ray/VHS/or satellite box output to the input of a little 2 watt amplifier I have and run the headphones off of that, using the amplifier’s volume control, with the TV volume on “mute”. I would like for this TV to have a 1/8″ audio output. In spite of that, in my opinion it is worth 5 stars.

I purchased this HDTV off Amazon about two weeks ago, and I am beyond pleased with it. I replaced a 26″ Vizio 720p LCD with this. The features that really drove me to this TV is the LED backlighting and the 120Hz processing. This TV has a stunning picture quality with some of the deepest blacks and great color. The 120Hz TruMotion has really gotten me though. It makes everything much more realistic, almost to a point to being scary sometimes. Watching Blu-rays with the TruMotion on the highest setting almost takes you out of the movie. It’s beyond cinematic, and it seems like I’m just looking out a window watching the actors in real life. It’s not bad by any means, and in fact, I can’t go back to not having it, but it may be too much for some people. You do have the option to adjust it, and you can even turn it off altogether.

I use this TV currently for the following devices: an Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Gateway PC, and Comcast Digital HD package. Gaming is great. I’ve noticed everything I’ve played so far has been super smooth and the response time is phenomenal. I’ve tried the following 360 games on it with great results: Halo 3, Need for Speed; Shift, Alan Wake, Modern Warfare 2, and Split/Second. The Wii looks a bit worse on this TV than on the small Vizio, but I imagine it’s the increased screen size. I have the Wii hooked up with component cables and set to 480p widescreen, but playing Super Mario Galaxy 2, The Conduit, No More Heroes 2 looked kind of bad. I know the Wii is not an HD console, but it’s a bit disheartening to see some of the better Wii’s graphics downgraded. Now, with the PS3, I don’t game to much, and I’ve yet to play a game on it with this TV, but as far as the Blu-ray goes, it’s been outstanding. This TV is enough to make me just skip the theater and wait for movies to release on BD. Blu-ray movies have such amazing clarity on this set, and the 3-dimensional feel is incredible. I played The Dark Knight, and the movie is so deep. With this kind of picture, I think I can wait a decade for 3D HDTVs to prove themselves more worth it to me. My Comcast HD looks nice, too. I know it’s not 1080p, but there’s no complaint. The TruMotion is great in the case of sports, and watching Braves baseball is more enjoyable due to it.

I’m loving my TV, and I’d say traditional LCDs should be no more. LED is so much better, and the LGs are priced very reasonably. I can’t believe I got this for $850.

This pannasonic G25 is amazing. Clear, Crisp Picture. Colors are amazing, unlike an LCD. You never would know the difference unless you saw a plasma. Unfortunatly plasmas got a bad rap years ago and people shy away from them. This model (as do others including samsung) have built in image retention elimination devices. Follow the break in for the first 100 hours and you have nothing to worry about. The sound levels arent bad, you probably have a surround system anyways so it dont matter. This picture gets better and better as it breaks in. All store demos are pretty crappy and usually the plasmas are off to the side. If stores used a good setup and dialed in the sets its unbelievable how many they would sell, but most people drift to the big bright LCD or LED. This tv is bright and colors are unmatched. Hockey games and fast paced sports are crap on lcd, but on plasma when the hockey players stop, you can see every sliver of ice fly through the air. Plasmas are less money and better picture the an lcd, why buy an lcd? I looked at the samsung, however they have a realllly bad rep for buzzing. Get it, dial in your settings and you too will be blown away.

The picture on this TV was stunning right out of the box. After a few minor adjustments it was as close to perfect as I could imagine. It came with the SQ01 panel and it would be hard to differentiate the color depth and quality from some of the plasma sets I looked at. The TV is in a very bright room and the matte screen cuts out glare with no picture degradation. The viewing angle is very good, though we are never more than 25 to 30 degrees off center. The picture is very stable from channel to channel with no change in the back lighting that I can see, and the standard definition picture is almost HD quality when using the 16:9 picture format. It has separate settings for processing speed and anti-judder for motion blur when using the Custom view mode, unlike the majority of sets that combine both settings into one. I watch a lot of sports and really don’t notice motion blur at 60hz so its certainly not an issue at 120hz. I’m not a gamer, so for my viewing habits I see no need to spend more for a 240hz option. The sound is very good for normal TV viewing. It can be connected to a home network and I have also hooked it up to my laptop using the VGA connection to watch Netflix and even that produces an acceptable SD picture. There are multiple picture settings you can use to suit just about any programming source, including watching at 120hz without the “soap opera” effect that some people find so annoying. There are 4 HDMI and 2 USB connections, plus one for headphones. There is no S video so you may need cables to hook up older external equipment. UVerse is the programming source.

The last time I bought a LCD I continued to look around in case I found something better. That will not be the case this time as I am completely satisfied. Pilot shipping through Amazon was great. They delivered on time, set up the TV and swivel stand, and had everything working in 5-10 minutes.

TV is great for the type (LCD) and price. The picture is bright, good contrast, and very smooth. The menu/remote are very comfortable…overall the picture is very nice. Aesthetically, the TV looks great as well…no cheesy features or decorations. This is my first LG product and I’m very pleased with this set. Also added the wireless adapter ($70). The entire setup and interface are very intuitive. This is a kids TV and they had Netflix down in no time (even the 5 year old). My only wish would be a backlit remote control.

The only issue is one I discovered after installing this TV and apparently many LCD TV’s have this issue. With the TV powered on my dish network remote would not operate the dish network receiver. After entering the proper code it did operate the TV fine but not the dish network receiver. I had to put the remote withing 2 inches of the dish IR port to get it to function. I had a couple of very frustrating days fighting this thinking it was the dish receiver flaking out. Then I did some research and discovered the interference issue with the LCD TV and various receivers. Different LCD TV’s have different fixes. Some fixes I found are: turn CATS on or off on the TV, turn energy savings on or off or adjust back lighting. On this TV you adjust the back light on the TV. This TV adjust from 1 to 100. I found that adjusting it below 45 the dish remote inconsistently operated the dish receiver. At 42 or lower the dish remote refused to operate the dish receiver at all. I set the TV back light at 78 and the problem was solved. My research showed that this issue is not limited to any one manufacturer and indicates manufactures are aware of the issue. The possible resolutions to this issue should be included in the manual.

Well I actually wanted just the monitor, model W2357v, and instead of Amazon for $[…], Frys sells it for $[…]. However, when I got there, Frys only had an open box V model left, and they reduced it to $300. I am not one to buy open box electronics, because they are usually someone elses headaches. So instead, I went with the LG M2762D-PF 27″ HDTV. The only difference is the monitor has a slightly faster screen response time than the TV. My Computer is a built buy me, AMD Athalon 6000 2 core processor with liquid quiet cool, Asus motherboard with 8 gig of pc 6700 DDR II, and an NVIDA 8500GT Graphics card, HD. I came home, removed my old relic and connected this LG through the DVI hookup video card to monitor. I turned it on and set the input to DVI and booted the computer to Windows 7 64 Bit. Shazam. Right out of the box it was stunning with no adjustments. The sound is not bad either, so I used a Y cable to tie the LG Monitor sound to my Bose Companion 3 Speakers. I could have left it alone, but you know how we guys are. I set all the monitor settings at 60, because the gamma was a little too bright, and then I went to my NVIDA control panel and made my final adjustments. This product is well worth the money, and I would buy it again. For those that say the text is not clear on this monitor, they must be using inferior video card, or inferior cables. DO NOT BY THIS MONITOR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A VIDEO CARD THAT SUPPORTS 1920 X 1080 RESOLUTION! It would be an injustice! By the way, one other thing I forgot; on the initial boot, my 8500GT Video Card automatically set the resolution to 1920 x 1080. Text, videos and everything else is sharp and crystal clear on this monitor. Now I know what I’ll get my daughter for Christmas. I highly recommend this machine, for the fact that I bought the first LG 60 inch 1080P Plasma and it is now over 4 years old without a glitch. LG is top notch, and has excellent quality control. They let very few bad ones get away!

I spent close to an hour in the store comparing LCD TVs. This LG stood out with its sharp and bright colors. I used the store’s Internet connection to check out the reviews but since it is a new model there wasn’t many. The older model however was popular among gamers.

Over all I am very pleased with quality of this LG model and recommend it to anyone who wants to buy a LCD TV for under $1k, and I mean not for picture quality but the size of the screen since this had as good, if not better, picture quality as other more expensive models in the store.

I just purchased this TV to replace my Samsung 27″ tube HDTV which was an absolute beast (147 lbs!). This TV is WONDERFUL! It’s the 3rd Toshiba LCD in my house (also have a 32″ in my bedroom and a 19″ in the home office). The picture is crystal clear with rich, bright, vibrant colors. I watch a lot of sports and play video games on this TV and it performs great for both. There aren’t noticeable tracers when watching fast action. I wish it had a regular a/v sound output (red & white), but it only offers a digital audio output which doesn’t work w/ my out-dated receiver (not the TV’s fault). I compared this side-by-side to LG’s similarly priced 37″ model and it blew the LG away. The picture was brighter, clearer, and lost less quality at an angle. I’ve noticed some reviews that are critical of the TV’s sound, but I’m not having any issues with it. I’m sure it doesn’t compare to the sound quality of a home theatre system, but it isn’t any worse than any other TV I’ve owned. If you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck on a moderately priced lcd TV, this is the one.

Which brings me to features – this is not among the next generation of LCD TV’s; it has no LED backlight, it is not 120hz, it is not thinner than a strand of hair, it does not connect wirelessly or offer widgets or video streaming, and it is not 3D compatible (a feature I sincerely hope does not catch on for cinema or television – who wants to wear 3D glasses all evening?).

I bought this Vizio because I needed a decent sized tv that was relatively cheap but would also fit into a dorm room. The picture quality is excellent and the difference between this tv’s 720p and other 1080p is negligible. At first colors looked a little washed out on my 360 but after fiddling with the tv/xbox settings it now looks superb. The size of the tv is also nice…it is lightweight and is super slim. The only thing that could be improved on is the speakers which imo are still a lot better than most tv’s in this price range/size. It sounds a little hollow and could use more bass but overall it isn’t too bad (it helps to turn off srs surround and switch to rock equalizer). Volume also isn’t too big of an issue with this tv like on other tv’s since this has front facing speakers as opposed to rear speakers. There is also very little lag or ghosting at 8ms and 60ghz refresh rates. Highly recommended if you are looking for a tv that is cost efficient and has good picture quality.

I began my search for an LCD HDTV/Monitor over a month ago and purchased 4 other similar items before purchasing this ViewSonic VT2430 and returned the previous 4 for poor performance. I was actually looking for a unit which included a DVD player for use in training lectures. But, I couldn’t find the right combination so I decided to settle on a unit without the DVD player, since those that are built in are all cheap players. This way, by keeping the TV and the DVD player separate I can always update the player as needed (BlueRay!).

Great monitor. I would recommend it to anyone. I would, however, downgrade its rating by 1/2 point for not having a DVD player. But, that is not what it is! ViewSonic does sell an LCD HDTV/DVD Combo monitor, but it has a lower pixel rate designed more for 720i resolution, which is OK for most uses at this smaller size. But, having been a TV studio tech in charge of adjusting and maintaining studio monitors, I became too picky and always need(!) the best.

I’ve had mine for two weeks now and could not be more pleased with my choice. I reviewed LCD, LED and Plasma as I was looking for something in the 46″-50″ range. I had narrowed my options down to the Panny G15 ogr G20 and this set. Frankly, they both had a few reports of problems. The Pannys being the changing black levels that panasonic says is a planned adjustment as the set ages vs. the buzzing that some Samsung Plasma owners seem to get. I decided that the buzzing was a hit or miss and if I got one that did buzz, I would return it and by another at a later date. Sicne the Panny is engineered to adjust it’s black levels and they are clearly not going to fix the issue with a firmware update, I scratched them from the list. This set has the best picture of anything I looked at straight out of the box. After tweaking with some settings I found on the web, It is truly like looking out a picture window into the real world. Acturate, lifelike colors that are not over saturated and look as natural as I’ve ever seen. Sound on this set is much better than many reviewers give it credit for as long as your not expecting 5.1 theater type sound from a tv. Plenty loud, no humming or hissing or problems for my family. There’s plenty of hookups (4 HDMI, PC, Componet and composite for most everyones needs.

After purchasing a Samsung LED in december, I was left somewhat unimpressed. My first HDTV was plasma and after owning a few LCDs and one LED I decided to go back to plasma. I mostly compared panasonic and samsung, but also took a brief look at some of LG’s LED TVs. It finally came down to the G25 by Panasonic and this TV, the PN50c7000. Picture quality was the most important to me, so that came first. Both TV’s looked excellent in HD(Source was star trek BD), but after demoing the two several times I felt the PN50c7000 had the edge. I consulted one of my buddies who is an expert on HDTVs(a professional calibrator)and he broke down the pros and cons of each model. I went with the PN50c7000 and could not be happier. The picture quality is fantastic, with rich colors and very deep blacks. The addition of 3D was also a plus to me, but definitely not one of my priorities. Standard definition also looks amazing, and with TV’s these days SD quality can vary drastically from set to set(The G25 was not as great at reproducing SD, one of the deal breakers for me). Finally, the PNc7000 had far more internet capabilities than the G25, which was another added bonus, as well as 3D. Since owning the TV I have tested many sources and it seems to reproduce colors very accurately, and again, has a great contrast.

First off, I have had an 40″ Samsung for 3 years and have been very pleased with it. It has a matte screen so that is what I was looking for. I really didn’t want any glare so I actually was looking at LG’s since they are one of few companies that make 50″+ lcds with matte screens. CNET reviewed the LG’s with high marks as well so I was pretty much dead set on an LG.

Features: There are ample inputs, including USB, but to date I’ve only used the HDMI. Unless you are looking for cutting edge Internet connectivity and are willing to pay for it, this has everything you need. I personally don’t see the world of TV moving to 3D anytime soon, if at all, and certainly the current offerings aren’t ready for prime time. For a 60 Hz, 1080p LCD TV there wasn’t anything better that I found (that was worth the extra money).

Off center viewing was average on this LCD TV with the contrast and black levels fading at around 35 degrees off angle – again not bad for this price range.

My general impression on the picture quality is mostly very impressed. I’m not a display expert so I’ll only state what I notice as a slightly more “techy” than average viewer. These sets do seem to have a screen uniformity issue. Large and bright, white or very light colored sections of the screen will show light horizontal bands. These bands are light, but can be distracting depending on the viewer. It seemed to get better with more hours on the first set, but it could have been the firmware issue. Either way, know that if you watch a lot of content containing mostly white screens, you may want to look at another TV. Some people claim to not be able to see this. Others state they see even more of it during panning scenes. Perhaps there is some difference from one panel to the next. Either way, I have seen it on two sets, so anyone looking at purchasing the set should expect it, unless there is an update (software or hardware) to the set at some time.

As for the TV, I love the picture and blu-ray discs look fantastic. I imagine that they look just as solid on the 60PK550, but I wanted the bells and whistles that the 950 offered. Also, the Trublack filter DOES make a difference. Here’s the deal, glass reflects so you will never have a TV that has no reflection at all, but the filter greatly diminished that issue. Very happy with that. I had thought about getting an LED, but since I pretty much only watch films, the “soap opera” look to LED/LCD drove me nuts. If you prefer the cinematic look, plasma is really the only way to go. I can understand why people like LED, but it wasn’t for me.

We’ve had this Vizio 47 inch TV for just over a month now, and the family loves it. Setup took maybe 5 minutes, using HDMI hookups for incoming Digital cable, DVD, X-box 360, and Playstation 3. Took an extra 5 minutes to hard-wire the internet cable, and connect optical audio output to the Home Theatre system.

Once I finished that I switched to Movie mode and put in a Blu Ray of District 9. Wow. I upgraded from a 32″ 60hz LCD, and once I saw the video on this new TV my jaw dropped. I was halfway tempted to get a 1080p version of a 50″ plasma, but at an extra $300-$400 it was not worth it. I set up my parents 1080p TV right next to mine and from about 8 feet away you cannot tell which is 1080 or 720. Very happy I made the decision of 720p, but any larger than 50″ 1080p would be worth it.

I have spent over a year debating which tv to get. It all started with a very long conversation with a friend discussing Plasma, LED, LCD, LED-LCD, HZ, ratio contrast, and all the other important numbers when looking at a TV.

If you’re wondering about the LED-LCD version of this tv… it is very good too, but the over all picture just isn’t as good as this tv. I would recommend this TV a hundred times over.

I had the c8000 55″ LED for over 3 weeks and loved the bright and clear picture, but it was hard to get the settings right for normal viewing, the viewing angle was atrocious vs. even LCD screens, and parts of the screen in dark scenes still have some clouding. I sent the LED back and purchased the c8000 58″ plasma. I’m very happy with it so far, especially after tweaking the settings. Now, I have all the pop of the LED but with consistent colors, better blacks and unlimited viewing angle. The details. . . .

Much less screen glare than the c8000 LED. This TV does not have a matte screen like many other LCD HDTVs, but Real Black Filter kills the glare much better than the c7000 plasma I saw at BB. Note that the c8000 LED has an incredibly shiny screen, making it difficult to watch in a bright room.

Picture quality: Incredible. Blacks are as deep as the bezel surrounding the TV. Colors are bold – everything you’d expect from a top of the line plasma. I own a 62″ DLP, a 26″ LCD, a 50″ panasonic 720p plasma and this plasma, and the plasmas are the only sets that really “pop.” This model is head and shoulders above even the 50″ 3-year-old model I own.

Overall: For the price, I highly recommend the set. Like I said, I own 4 televisions of 3 different technologies and this one shows off the best picture. I have a collection of almost 800 blu-rays, and stay up to date on all the high-def news, etc… I do extensive research before purchasing a product, and actually went into this thinking I was going to give in and get an LED. I don’t want to get into an LED vs. Plasma thing here, but the LED’s are simply LCD with different lighting, and it brings all the inherent LCD problems with it. They make catch your eye in the store, but once you get home and get into your environment, it’s a different story. That said, this plasma in game mode gets the picture as close to LED as I’ve seen but with much better blacks.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably researched LCD, LED, HDLP and Plasma and in sets this size, the transitional capability is much better than the other technologies in my opinion. No matter the level of the set, every LCD/LED set I previewed had momentary blurring in fast action scenes like sports. I get none of that on the plasma set. Although our media room allows for the proper viewing angle from every seat, you can get well outside the ideal range and the plasma picture is still accurate and bright.

First of all, after a lot of thought and effort, I decided to go plasma instead of LCD for several reasons. First, you can buy a 42-inch plasma for about the price of a 32 inch LCD (give or take). Second, the stuttering of LCDs is noticeable and unpleasant to me, and plasmas handle motion with greater fluidity. Thirdly, the black levels of plasmas are better (though they do require lower light to look their best, which is no problem as I’m a low-light kind of guy who lives in the dark overcast Northern West Coast).

In all honesty, I think this TV has one of the nicest pictures I’ve ever seen. One example is the pin-point dimming, which has garnered a lot of criticsm and skeptisism. I have seen the production TV model live and I must tell you, I think it’s better then local-dimming and I’ll tell you why… Unless there is a new panel that is made to fix the local-dimming “halo affect”, this is currently the only way to get outradgeous contrast levels without that problem. The pin-point dimming on this TV dramatically lowers the dark spots on the screen in certain area’s without a halo affect and actually goes completely pitch black when watching movies with dark screens just like a local-dimming TV. I think this TV actually excels at the dimming part over a local-dimming TV because it creates supurb black levels without any halo affects. That’s a huge deal for me. Next is the color accuracy of this panel, I think the whites and colors on this TV are probably better then I’ve ever seen. Sure Plasma’s can sometimes have better color temperatures, but they will not pop out of the screen with ambience like this TV shows. This TV is sharp looking and beautiful and it displays wonderful 3D and High-definition like never before.

Did a lot of research on TVs before I decided to get this one. Was not excited about the 120hz TVs; do not like the soap opera/camcorder motion. I was debating if I should get the internet options with the apps on the other models, but I have a PS3 so it wasnt worth paying for the extra features. So I got this 60hz LCD and I have no regrets! The picture this TV produces are amazing, especially on Blu Ray. I watched my New Zealand vacation videos on it and it really brings out the colors and makes my video look even more movie like. Avatar looks amazing on it as well. I got it for $640 and worth every dime.

In considering what TV to buy my parents, I had the apparent choice between buying an led LCD or a plasma. I opted to get the led, but you wouldn’t really be wrong to go the other route. My parents just wanted any TV that was bigger than 50 inches while I, being somewhat of a techy, needed to find the best TV over 50 inches. Well, here you have what I would call the third best TV over 50 inches (the 8500 and 8000 models being better) at the time of this review. This is the first of Samsung’s new line of lcds to come out this year, and it narrowly beats out last years 6 and 7 series TVs by offering a better contrast ratio (4,000,000-1 vs. 3,000,000-1) for virtually the same price point. Otherwise, it’s pretty much identical after reviewing the specs. Newer is better though in this case also because of the firmware upgrades and other fine improvements in engineering and technology.

The TV was delivered about 5 days after I purchased it through Amazon, and it took about 15 minutes to set up. Out of the box the thing looks incredible. It’s as thin as a blackberry! Some assembly was required with a phillips head and about 10 screws to attach the tv to the stand, but it was only 4 steps total and added to the suspense. After plugging in literally two cords (the hd component cables and the power cord) you are up and running. When the picture came on it was CRYSTAL clear. It puts every other TV I’ve seen to shame. You can go to Best Buy and do a side by side comparison and you won’t find anything better. Forget about the plasma, this is the way to go. I could describe in more detail how great the picture is, but suffice to say it’s flawless from movies to news to sports. Even if this is not your first HDTV, you will notice a big difference. I bought a 32″ 240 mhz set in Decemeber and this tv is in another league. The LED side panel illumination works well, and there is very little adjustment of the settings necessary to achieve true to life picture quality.

Note: I chose lcd over plasma because lcds are noiseless and don’t have the risk of picture burn-in. The 58′ plasma I was looking at is the same price. This TV is better than plasmas priced less at the time of the review. If price is the main concern, I might do an in store side by side comparison with cheaper plasmas to see if the difference to you is worth the money.

The LG Certified Tech verified everything and said that he believes that it is due to the 2010 panels being much thinner – less material to absorb and dampen out the vibrations (once a Mechanical Engineer, always a Mechanical Engineer).

I have had my Samsung TV for about a month now and I absolutely love it! I ordered it from amazon.com and when it arrived, the delivery men set it up for me! I did a lot of homework prior to choosing a TV to buy, and Samsung always had the best ratings and reviews, but they were consistently higher priced. This Samsung is not only affordable, ($50 more than the Vizio I was looking at buying,) it has so many more features (as well as much better specs,) than the other TV’s in it’s price range. It is, in my opinion, the best LCD flat panel TV buy in this price range. The sound and color are amazing. It looks attractive and is very user-friendly. The features are endless on this TV as well! You can adjust any of the features to suit your tastes and needs. This is my first flat-panel TV and I have had no problems or complaints so far. I would definitely recommend this TV over all others in this price range.

Design: Thin Edge-lit LEDs have great visual appeal, but they sacrifice performance for looks. The S2 is comparable in design to mid-priced LCDs, though slightly heavier. The buttons on the S2 and its remote function well and are well laid out. The buttons on the Sharp are “supposed” to be touch sensitive, but require A LOT of pressure to activate. The Sharp’s remote is stylistically and functionally similar to the S2. Again, this sacrifices looks for function. The Sharp’s base is solid glass, whereas the S2’s is plastic.

Sound: Surprisingly, the Sharp delivers great sound (for a flat panel) despite it’s thin design. The Sharp pumped out more volume at 25% than the S2 did at 50%. The Panasonic has weak sound for large rooms. I’d recommend using a HTIB or Receiver/Speakers with the Panny. The S2 now sells for $899 on Amazon. This is a great value! The $1,200+ price of the 58 inch S2 is truly compelling. With the Sharp, for $1,799 your getting the newest LED technology with internet connectivity in a slim design.

The iSymphony LC26iH56 is a 26-Inch 720p HD LCD Television. The TV has 1366 x 768 native resolution and wide-screen (16:9 aspect ratio) for a complete home theater experience. The super high picture quality has been realized by VIORE engineering with high brightness for a vivid and brilliant picture and with high contrast for deeper blacks and brighter whites. The ATSC TV tuner is integrated for over-the-air HDTV broadcast reception. HDMI input is provided so that the digital signals for both video and audio will be transferred without any degradation from Blu-ray Disc Player, DVD Player, Game Player, or Cable/Satellite Box. A VGA port is also provided so that you can use the TV as a computer monitor.

The 46″ LG LCD 120 Hz/1080p is my first HD TV. I wanted to make the right choice for my budget, and spent hours and hours looking a different brands and models, comparing prices, and reading countless reviews before deciding on this TV. All I can say is that all of my experiences so far indicate that I made the right choice. The HD picture is exceptional, there is virtually no glare on the screen, and the set-up is extremely user friendly. If you are looking for a fairly large, high quality TV for HD television, Blu-Ray, and PS3/Xbox360 for around $1k, this is the TV for you!

Just received the TV today! It arrived a day early, which was a pleasant surprise. Once I fired it up, I was ecstatic with this set. The quality is amazing for the price, the picture blows away a top of the line 42″ 1080p LCD display that I’ve seen. Deep rich colors, high contrast, fluid motion…there is nothing not to like! Streamed Spartacus off Netflix, and compared to my old little 22″ LCD it really came to life.(Even if the writing is really bad)

It was able to find some basic cable channels in HD, which is awesome, and Modern Warfare 2 looks simply astounding (again, much better than on aforementioned 42″ and 22″ LCDs.)

It’s very elegant, and looks great in my living room. It’s not super bright, which I love (LCD panels hurt my eyes after a while) All in all, for the money it’s a fantastic TV. I was looking for quality, affordability, and style.

First off…I
