    Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week Pros: Excellent picture quality, amazing look, style, even color (dark red/cherry tone is very cool).

Cons: It is so attractive it steals my living room! This is not bad, of course, I wanted 52&#... Read more

    Great image. Easy to set up, but tweaking the image/settings is fairly cumbersome. I haven't read the manual yet, so that my give me some tips, but all in all, this is a great TV. The image is much better (especially contrast) that than of the 42" Panasonic plasma that it replaced. However, I do not recommend it for a room with lots of light, due to the glossy screen and potential for glare. Read more

    Pros: Best 120HZ LCD on the market. I bought the 52" LCD to place in the family room. Everyone who sees it, states the picture is awesome. I use an AVR with it for great sound. The blacks and color are very, very good. Football games are like being there. I was afraid the reflection from the screen would be noticable, but once you focus on the picture you do not notice it due to the detail in the picture. Cons: Were it not for the sound and reflective bezel, I would have... Read more

    The picture is Stunning. It looks like your watching live video through a window, even with directv, which only supports up to 720P. I do not have blueray yet to see 1080p in action, but can't imagine how the picture can get much better. Even 480i dvd's look great. I researched all 52" lcd panels and this one by far has the best picture. Cons: Sound is nothing great. Cannot use speakers as center channel for 5.1 system. Does not autodetect sources ie dvd, sat, onair, you... Read more
