I purchased this TV from Amazon.com 5 months ago. I've never owned anything but a normal tube tv and the biggest was a 27". I don't have anything to compare this TV to, but I love it so far. The picture is just perfect. I have a PS3 connected to it as my blu ray player and I have no complaints with this TV's performance. The unit itself looks great and the picture it displays looks fine from virtually any angle.

I can't comment on the TV's speakers though, as I never use them. in fact I have them turned off in the settings. I run all my sound through my receiver so I don't need the tv's speakers.

The settings menus are all easy to follow and there's a lot of options for adjusting the picture and also has some preset color modes like "cinema" or "Dynamic", etc.

This was one of the cheapest and best rated TVs I could find on Amazon at the time, so I snatched one up and have been more than satisfied ever since!
