I’ve had this TV for about two weeks now. The TV is heavy, and I wanted to mount it “flush” to the wall so I got the heavy-duty articulating Peerless IM760PU mount. This would allow me access to the back of the TV without having to lift it.
Now back to the TV. I LOVE IT. The picture quality is unmatched by anything I’ve seen. The factory settings do need to be adjusted, but the process is amazingly intuitive with this TV. Non HD shows are just OK, but gosh, get an HD show on this puppy, and you’ll never leave home. As a matter of fact I had my buddy, who owns a Pioneer Elite Kuro over the other day, and he was blown away by the picture quality on this TV.
“NetCast, which is an internet media streaming system that is compatible with Netflix, YouTube, and Yahoo! Widgets” is great to have. I have watched YouTube videos and tried out Yahoo Widgets, but I still need to get a subscription to Netflix to get the full benefit of this feature.
I Have my newly purchased Denon Receiver AVR-2310CI and BluRay Player 2500BTCI sitting in boxes in my office while I await the AV furniture. Once these are set up and I get a chance to play a BluRay disc, I’ll provide feedback.

I just received my TV a few days ago and I must say that so far I am blown away. I ordered the TV from Amazon Thursday Night and I received it Tuesday around lunch time using the free shipping. Pilot brought over the TV- carried it up to my second floor apartment and then unboxed it for me so I could check to make sure the TV worked. This TV is a thing of beauty. The one piece of glass is impressive looking and the TV is extremely flat. The image quality on this TV is amazing. Images look 3-D and seem to pop off the TV. The black levels are great (the blacks seem to match the letterbox bars). The internet stuff (like youtube and yahoo) are ok- not sure if they are worth the extra money. I have not registered for Netflix yet so that feature maybe worth it. You will not be dissapointed by this TV. Defiantly the best deal for the money of a flat screen TV. Glare is not an issue on this TV once it is turned on. We had a mirror hanging on the wall behind our couch which did cause some glare during dark scenes. We took the mirror off the wall- problem solved! I will update this after I have used the TV some more.
UPDATE:
So after having this TV for 2 weeks- I gotta say I still love it. The picture quality is fantastic. I am also impressed with how cool this set run- it is not hot to the touch at all. Image retention was a bit of a problem with this TV when playing video games however it is lessoning as I break it in. I think it will be a non-issue in another week. It has not been an issue at all with anything I have watched on TV or in a movie- only with video games. I have activated NetFlix and I gotta say it is great. It is fast and within 20-30 seconds you can be watching a movie in HD quality. I have no regrets about this set!
