Pros: Good contrast & shrpness, Image details are good
Cons: Prefer more choices of cabinet colors
Opinion:
This is good buy, i trade in my old projection TV & got good bargain on price & redeemed 3yr warranty. Noticed great image quality while gaming with xbox HD games & surfing on the net when connectd to my laptop. They arranged demo call for me & got properly adjusted, tuned by friendly Enginner. Waiting to see the image quality of ch5 when it will start HD transmission.
