I have a nice tv in the family room with excellent quality for watching movies and football and such.. this tv is fine.. it isn’t the best mms rate.. when you press pause (on my tivo) the pic is somewhat blurred, but watching the picture in hd is good quality as you’d expect, and it’s less quality in digital. (once you go HD it’s hard to go back)..

as for the comment about aspect ration from another person.. there is a setting that is standard on most tv’s.. it allows for regular tv viewing (like our old crt tv’s that were square), it has wide screen and it has what is called panaromic.. this feature keeps the center normal but stretches the pic to reach the edges.. these settings are normal for all tv’s from what I see. When you are using HD on tv’s in general, you don’t use these features. But the tv does have the ability to change the pic size in these 3 settings.. The remote has a variety of ways to access it.. at the top of the remote is a criss-cross bar.. click the center of it and it will display all the settings you can adjust. just click the “wide screen” feature and from there you can change the size of the screen you are viewing (again this is for viewing in NON-HD format).

For the price this is a great tv for the ofc or the bedroom..

I got pretty much what I expected with this tv. I was just getting something to put in the bedroom to replace our old hunk o’ junk tube tv. The sound is horrible, but the picture is pretty good. The one other thing that sucks is if there’s a way to adjust the angle of the tv on the included stand, I can’t find it. It sorta leans back, so if you have it on a surface that is taller, the screen darkens because of the angle. It kinda makes for watching as you’re laying in bed a bit of a strain. Outside of those things, it seems to be a decent little tv. Especially for the price.

Purchase Experience: fine, smooth and painless as always.

Product Comments:

Size: fantastic – super thin, and light, which enables keeping shoved toward the back of its surface to keep the kids’ fingers away from the screen.

Picture: Excellent, very crisp (using HDMI cable). Easy enough to modify settings to get the right picture for your lighting conditions. My set is in a naturally-lit room and I have had no problem with the picture or colors as a result of the bright sunlight.

Sound: fine. If you just want to watch TV/movies, the built-in speakers are fine. They won’t make you go ga-ga, but if that’s what you want, you’ll already have (or soon hereafter acquire) a speaker system.

Heat: Here’s a really trick of the LED backlighting – it produces surprisingly little heat compared to a more traditional LCD. Most LCDs generate a fair amount of heat, but the LED LCD doesn’t generate nearly as much.

Dust: For whatever reason, the bevel seems to attract more dust than other LCDs in the house (TV and computer screens). Dust doesn’t collect so much on the screen as around it – odd, but easily dealt with and doesn’t affect the picture.

Bottom Line: Great TV, especially for the price.
