"Great picture, low price equals great value" on by TC Rider
Pros: Beautiful picture, very affordable
Cons: Only one HDMI port, no tuner
Summary: I've had mine since early December. I learned about this set on avsforum.com, which is good since it's not heavily advertised.
I found the picture quality in the store to be equal or better to the Panasonic, Pioneers and others.
I use a cable set-top box so the lack of a tuner is not a problem. Another HDMI port would be nice, but not worth another 6 or 7 hundred dollars. As it is, I use component cables for the cable input and use the HDMI port with my upconvert DVD player.
I've no issues with the silver cabinet, it seems like half the sets in the store have silver cabinets. I removed the speakers as soon as I got it home since they added nothing to the HT sound system I already had.
I love it when friends and family come over and are blown away. When they ask what brand, they assume Maxent is some ultra high-end brand they never heard of.
