"Best 40" TV for the price."
Pros: Excellent picture quality, even when up scaling.
Uniform quality throughout.
User Interface is easy to navigate and well laid out.Cons: None that I can think of
Summary: I was in the market for a 42" TV, but I wanted to keep it as far below 1,000 as I could. Little did I know I would be compromising quality for price. So I stepped down to the 40" market. Right away this TV stood out from the pack. The depth of color from blacks to whites is spot on. And I have found no uniformity issues at all. Comparing it to other TV's in a similar price range, the other seemed to have a much more muted color palette. And even the Vizio with 120mHZ paled in comparison.
I am a gamer, and in playing I have found no issues with screen lag or refresh rate even though it is only a 60MHz model.
Changing "Entertainment Modes", which quickly changes the picture and sound to suit your viewing, is easy to do. The modes include Sports, Games, and Movies, all of which work quite well and I found no need to adjust them further.
But if you find yourself in need of tweaking things further, the user interface is very easy to use. Simple things like setting up the names for each one of your components is simple.
Perhaps the greatest assets is the fact that the TV communicates with my Samsung DVD/Home Theater system though the HDMI cable. I can connect to the DVD/Home Theater system through the controls on the TV Remote. It will automatically turn off the TV speakers, and everything is controllable through the one remote. Having my video game systems hooked through the TV, there is no need for extra cables to run to and from the surround sound.
I paid $800 for the TV, it is well worth the money and would have expected to pay a few hundred dollars more for the outstanding quality of the product.
