Was great untill it Died at exactly 2 years

Pros: not much at all

Cons: Too many to list

Review: This is now a discontinued model from insignia, and thank god for it. It worked decently for exactly 2 years, until it died on me last night . It's menu's are very clunky, it only has component, its HUGE, we bought a much bigger DLP to replace it and its 1/4 the thickness of this monster. I am actually glad this broke, it gave me an excuse to get a big 1080p dlp and the wife not even get mad at me.

TV broke 1 week after the 1 year warranty!

Pros: Good picture and reasonable price

Cons: broke after only 1 year, as soon as warranty expired. No customer service/support.

Review: It seems like many others have had the same experience and many of the Insignia products have the same problem that my exhibited. There is no customer support. Basically, the TV was good for a year, but now $500 is down the drain. The menus are not the best and there were little quirks, like if you typed in the first number to change a channel, and then hit the last channel button, the next time you push a number it will add that number to the first number you pressed before last channel. i.e., push 5, then last channel, the tv goes to the last channel, then you can watch tv for as long as you want, hours, and then next number you push, say 1, will take you immediately to channel 51. Seems like this product was made half a$$ and I'm really upset at Best Buy for selling such crap.

***Don't get this brand tv...seems like a good value and looks good, but it won't last and you will end up paying in the end***

Great TV for the money

Pros: lowest price 30 in WS HD TV

Cons: Picture quality on regular TV lacks, no HDMI

Review: Well, I had a lot of bad feelings about buying this, but for the price, I had to give it a try. I've had it for 7 months now and have had no problems. First time I"ve ever had a TV over 20 inches, so for anyone who's really into HD and wide screen, this probably isn't for you, but for someone who's just getting into the new age, it's great. The only problem is it doesn't have HDMI, but component is good enough for me!

Fair TV before it died!

Pros: Good HDTV picture, lots of inputs, good price (if on sale)

Cons: Died after 7 months, 90 warranty, poor analog picture quality, cheap remote

Review: Don't buy this TV. Picture poor unless you are watching HD. Pay the extra money and get a real name brand TV.
