User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great TV (& Price)
Picture
–Great Picture even before changing settings or adding HD.
–At the moment only connected to satellite & regular DVD
through composite cables and the picture is clear & bright.
–In 4:3 mode the sides are gray? Looks weird so I keep it in 16:9
–No blur watching sports or other fast moving scenes
Set up
–connect stand to TV with 4 screws.
–Instructions for TV on a pdf file on a CD
Remote/Menu
–Big buttons, comfortable in hand.
–Straight forward menu choices, and not too many,
I thought there would be more choices but basically 6
–1 Channel menu (for antenna channels)
–2 Picture menu (change ratio 4:3/16:9/Zoom1 or 2
also Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Tint)
–3 Audio menu (keep commercials at same level,
Clear Voice, Balance & some pre-set sound schemes)
–4 Time menu (set clock)
–5 Option menu (change language, Captions etc)
–6 Lock menu (parental controls, etc)
–Press Input on remote to chose between inputs like
Antenna, Cable, DVD etc (you can label the inputs
so no guessing) Also it automatically highlights only
what you have connected to chose from
Sound
–Better than most. (I turned up all brands at the stores
and none are great) Eventually I will get a surround
sound but for the moment its just fine
Price
–Couldn’t pass up. Bought at Best Buy 4-4-09 $699.99
Conclusion
–Very pleased with this purchase
5 Stars Very nice
The delivery was excellent and we were not disappointed. This was a replacement set and I’m glad I bought it.
5 Stars Just purchased, cheaper at HHGregg.
I have yet to mount this tv and use it, but I found it cheaper at HHGregg and purchased it there ($750). The HD cable hook up I purchased on Ebay for half the price ($24)they wanted at the store or online. I will update this review once I have used the tv for a bit.
5 Stars Nice TV, Nice Price
Great plasma tv, perfect for a room where you won’t be using a BluRay. And for $750, how can ya go wrong?
5 Stars Plasma vs LCD
Love my plasma, if your into sporting events you’ll want the plasma, it has a sharper pic on motion due to the fact that plasma reacts faster than liquid cystal. You won’t get that blur that the LCD leaves between frames. the hidden speakers also enhance the look of this sleek unit. I can’t review reliability because I only had it about a month, but I think they have improved the Plasma TV’s but you might want to invest in a extended warrantee? I chose not too but might not be a bad investment for at least an additonal year.
