Actual user review:
“It deserves all of the accolades it receives as the picture, even on a 65″ behemoth, is absolutely flawless. In 1080p HD this thing is incredible. Black levels are amazing, response times and refresh rates are so fast that even professional sports displayed in HD show no pixels falling behind, no blurring, no noise. The set also requires virtually no warm up time and is at full brightness in a matter of moments after powering on. The set also includes technology that senses how bright the room is and adjusts the brightness of the screen to the room conditions. The understated and elegant design of the ultra thin bezel disappears and the picture just seems to float in midair.” – A.Taylor (IL, USA)

• “I’ve had this TV for two months now and am extremely pleased with it. First let me say, I’m a very critical techie with high visual acuity and also a former television broadcast engineer at a CBS affiliate station. This TV passes all my display tests with flying colors. Signal sources are 1080p Media PC, 1080i satellite receiver and Sony 1080p Blu-Ray player. Response time is fast so there is no observable flicker or lag on horizontal or vertical scrolling text. The color decoder needs some adjusting, but once you have fine-tuned it, the color rendition is close to perfect. Blacks are truly black and whites are correct as well. Grey scale is excellent, with a bit of low level black crush, but still great for LCD. There is no blur or stuttering on horizontal pans. No jaggies. Just a truly clear picture at 1080i and 1080p. The firmware that came installed on the TV supports 1080p/24 fps perfectly, so Blu-ray discs look pristine.” – G.Khalsa (USA)
• “I have had the TV for about 3 weeks now and am very happy with the purchase. I was hesitant about buying something so big and expensive online, but Amazon’s white glove delivery was great. The TV arrived well before its scheduled delivery date, and CVS (delivery team) called to make an appointment, arrived nearly on time and then setup TV in my living room. They also stayed around while I hooked it up to make sure that it all worked and that I was happy with delivery. I had an Amazon recommended installer mount over fireplace the next day” – J.Labri (CA,USA)
