5 out of 5 eggsGreat TV

Pros: Beautiful picture! Solid construction and base, lots and lots of ports, very stylish.

I've had zero problems with this television, no technical issues, dead pixels, nada. The menus are easy to use and intuitive.

Cons: The front buttons aren't really buttons, they're the new touch-sensitive areas that pass as buttons. This is generally cool, but on this television the labeling for them is almost impossible to see, especially in low-medium light. So I generally just brush my finger across the area where they should be until I trigger what I'm looking for.

Other Thoughts: The remote is huge (not a problem once you get used to it) and has a button for illuminating all the others, very nice!

I got this during Black Friday last year for under $650, what a steal!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat TV

Pros: First of all it was purchased on Newegg, just on another persons account. Just overall a great tv. Works great as a pc monitor, in fact I'm using it now. The clear and red trim makes it look like and LED tv. I bought this open box and everything came with it (except the remote batteries).

Cons: not really a con but there is a few scratches and scuffs on the trim but that's what i get for buying and open box item.
Also the buttons on the front of the screen can be very hard to see.

4 out of 5 eggsPhenominal

Pros: For a 60mhz system this picture is great. I have not noticed any ghosting or other fast motion anomolies. Plenty of HDMI ports. The sound quality is good (not great) for TV speakers alone.

Cons: No S-Video input. Yea I know S-video is outdated, but the Directv box in my bedrrom is only standard def.

Other Thoughts: I got it for $100 less than BB due to a daily special from Newegg. Great price for a great tv. It would have received 5 stars had there been an S-Video connection

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: For the price, you can't beat this TV. Crisp picture and great color. Plenty of HDMI inputs.

Normally TV speakers are pretty bad. The ones are this model are what I would call acceptable.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: This is my second ToC. First was a T240HD, which is still great as a computer monitor. Can't beat the big size, though.

Newegg is definitely a trusted seller in my book, but I opted to purchase the TV locally, to avoid any potential for shipping damages. A nationwide chain had it priced at $649 vs $804 from Newegg with free shipping.
