Worth a buy for the price.
*** See posts from U. Viveros (Aug 8th) for info on the panel display on this tv***
Picture quality on this tv is excellent (it has an IPS panel) black levels are impressive color is vibrant. And you can tweak the picture to your likeing with a ton of various options. Took me a while to get the picture quality just right for gaming HD content and SD content. SD tv actually looks pretty good on this tv suprisingly sharp picture quality on it. Though this being a LCD tv the picture isn't crystal clear in darker areas you can see some obvious blurring or trailing (but only if you really want to notice and its not as bad as the latest Samsung) in brighter areas blurring is not noticeable at all (in Modern Warfare 2 for example darker wood textures you can see the blur when moving on brighter wall textures there is no blur).
Speakers are decent not going to blow you away with the sound but they aren't complete crap either. Like the picture - sound also has various tweaking options.
Remote is pretty standard doesn't look cheap and doesn't go overboard with the options. But is has everything you'd accept to be on it.
Also has a headphone jack (and unlike Samsungs you can control the volume of the headphone jack with your remote).
You can also display pictures or play music with a usb stick I don't think I'll be using this feature. Would've been nice if it allowed you to play videos from the usb stick...but they only have that feature on their higher end models.
One problem is that if you switch the input to hdmi and then go back to AV or TV input...there is no sound. You have the turn off the tv and turn is back again to get the sound back.
4/5.
I paid $[...] amazon now dropped the price.
