    Overall, this is a wonderful television for anyone who’s on a budget. It’s very large for the price, and the picture quality is quite good. Your Blu-ray movies and HD programming will look perfect on it. While you are sacrificing some quality, it isn’t going to be enough for those who want a true bang for their buck. Read more

    I saw this LCD at a friends house and was amazed at the picture quality. I now have two hanging in my house and they are used heavily every day. They look great and can really stand up to a bright room. You will not go wrong with this LCD. I am planning on ordering two more. Read more

    Could not have spent my money any better. For the price of a 32" you get a 52" that matches all others. Friend of mine has a 42" Pioneer Elite he purchased a couple of years ago for three times the price and the AQUOS picture blows it away. Read more

    This seemed like the best deal for the size tv I wanted. I first had a problem with the delivery. I was told the tv would be set up for me as long as I had the tv stand, but the delivery men said they were not authorized to do that and just brought the box inside. After having the tv for 6 mths, the picture went out. I called the customer service # and the rep said to hold down 2 buttons at the same time. When I did this, smoke started coming out of the back of the tv.... Read more
