   Best TV I’ve ever owned! The 120mhz is spooky too watch.It’s amazingly real too see.

   One of the clearest HDTV I’ve seen!

   PRO:

   The clarity of this TV is astounding. With this TV, I can honestly say that I feel like I’m just peering through a window when watching HD content. There are times, three weeks into our purchase, that my wife and I exclaim “it’s so clear!” while watching shows on 1080i. This is a big deal to me because we have a 65″ Pioneer Kuro PRO-151FD in the living room, but now I prefer watching on this unit.

   Blu-ray at 1080p is just beautiful and jaw-dropping. I played Ratatouille using a PS3, and the hairs on the mice and blades of grass are so detailed. I also noticed that the SD commercials seems clearer, and on some of them, someone with an untrained eye might mistake for HD if the pillars were not present.

   I haven’t hooked it up with a receiver yet, but the sound of the unit is more than adequate for our bedroom. We only go to “8″ on the sound, which is animated as a blue circle on the lower left as opposed to a bar at the bottom of the screen. The “8″ setting corresponds to about 1 o’clock, so you can go really loud if you wish.

   I connected a PC to the unit and it can go up to 1920×1080 pixels at 60Hz, which is the max for my graphics card on that particular computer. Although it can display all those pixels, you can notice shadowing on the images and text. Not enough to give you a headache, but just enough to be noticed. If you do not plan on hooking a computer to this TV, then this is not a big deal. Actually, it’s really minor considering you can watch Netflix and it does DLNA (accessing media files you share on your network).

   I have this connected to my router via Ethernet, and even Netflix came out clear. I saw Dead LiKe Me and it still had that peering through a window effect. We watched Food, Inc. and was pleasantly surprised that Netflix serves that up in HD.

   CON:
   
   All HDMI inputs are located on the side. Although it’s a good idea for game consoles and on the fly connectivity, I believe it would have been better to have one in the back and three on the side. This would give the users the option to use the rear connection for wall-mounting.

   SUMMARY:
   
   This is a great TV for around 8-10 feet of viewing. There are a lot of extras that you may not even touch, but if your main concern is clarity, you can’t go wrong with this unit.

   Just got this machine and I love it. Setup was easy, internet connectivity worked like a charm and the picture is so real it even movies look like live TV.
   
   Speakers are not the best but a quick hook up to a real sound device solved that problem in about 5 minutes.
   
   I would have given it 5 stars except for the speakers.
   
   The menues are quick and intuitive and the remote is functional without a manual.
   
   The whole TV out of the box without the stand is very light and easy to maneuver.
   
   I mounted it on a wall mount, plugged it in, turned it on and was watching my Netflix in about 20 min, including packing up the trash.
