Good enough and a nice price point
By traderpats
This tv doesn't have all the bells and whistles but it's fine for sd, hd movies and gaming with the xbox. When gaming make sure you put in the right mode for that. This will shut-off all of the extraneous processing of the signal that isn't needed. I played Halo, (legendary level), and had no problems at all. It was as responsive as the old CRT that it (finally) replaced. The graphics when gaming were just absolutely stunning...I keep the "smooth motion" setting turned off most of the time. For one thing it creates too much of the "soap opera effect" when turned up on medium or high. I think all lcd based tv's are the same too. The picture looks just fine without it. Most of the "break-up" or blurring seen at the stores is due to the cable signal being split between so many units. The smooth motion setting does come in handy with live, fast action sporting events though.I was just a bit leary of purchasing this unit but wanted to stay on a budget. Well I just finished watching "The Expendables" and the picture rocked. No pixelation or blurring that I could pickup on. I imagine a real video aficionado could run a list of less-than-desirable features on this tv compared to the $2500 units but for most I think it would do just fine.This tv isn't wireless so I bought a BluRay player which has built-in WiFi. This works fine for streaming movies and other online stuff usually offered with the most recent tv's. Anyways I happy with the purchase and look forward to years of service from it. Hope this helps.

This set works great and I've had no issues with it at all. However, there are some things that a buyer should know prior to purchasing any LCD.Because of the picture processing on some sets, sometimes there will be video lag. This is a known issue for all brands of lcd televisions with picture post processing. To accommodate for this issue, newer DVD and Blu Ray players have a delay setting for audio so you can sync up the audio to the delay caused by the picture processing.However, the delay obviously won't do for gaming. If you want to configure the set for gaming, it's a simple process -1> Go to your picture options, then set the picture mode to the gaming preset2> At the bottom of the menu, select "more" for additional options3> In the additional picture options, ensure that: > Smooth motion is off (this is the picture post processing that makes it look like you're on set) > Fast response is on.4> Enjoy.It's not perfect as the backlighting isn't completely even, but it's good enough for the price and the size. It's only really noticeable when a scene is completely black.There's a bit of stutter with the smooth motion feature, but nothing that you don't see on the pricier Samsung sets. Though it produces that video camera soap opera look that is fun for animation and CG, turning off the feature will return the picture to a more traditional look (and reduce lag).The speakers are also sufficient for general use but if you want to get into a movie/game, you'll want to hook up a nice surround system.

By Ramon Leal
First, I need to start by saying that I bought mine refurbished. My question is, why? I heard some saying they have issues with this item. I don't have the problems others have. I paid $667. I would think about it if I had to pay regular price though. Especially if your going to experience problems. I have seen that the video tends to speed up to catch up with the audio, I think, when streaming on Netfix. As far as playing dvds and playing games, I have had no problems.
