"Great TV overall!"
4.5 starson by crabbymontyPros: Sound is great, TV modes are set up well, and I personally appreciate the ethernet port on the back
Cons: Glossy screen reflects more light than I anticipated
Summary: The first thing I did when I picked up this TV was calibrate the screen per instructions on CNET, but the picture before and after was really great. Sound was much better than I expected and the TruSurround is awesome. The 3 pre-programmed viewing modes allow me to move from gaming mode, to sports mode to movie mode adjusting preferences for each preset. Just change it to movie mode where the screen dims a bit since movies are usually watched in the evening and surround sound is turned on. Really easy to use the remote with one-touch style buttons to change picture size from 4:3 to 16:9 and even to get internet feeds of weather, news or stocks delivered right on screen while you are watching any program.
Some reviewers have complained that the red hue in the frame does not work, but I really like it. And the red is only a touch of color as an accent and certainly does not overwhelm the TV.
I picked up this online at a very reasonable price and I am very happy with my purchase.
