Pros: first off the cabinet looks great, it will fit right in with just about any entertainment center. plenty of inputs and features. excellent picture quality, bright vibrant colors, great contrast, even with standard def programming. very low glare on the screen. high def programming is superb! just blows my mind to be an LCD display. remote has large highly visible buttons for those of us with poor eyesight. quick source changing with either the remote or using the dedicated button on the display. love the hidden HDMI and headphone port behind the trap door on the side. includes power saving options in menus. light weight for easy transport. setup takes less than 10 minutes. includes a cleaning cloth :)
Cons: only thing that i could ask for is a mounting option and/or more freedom of motion in the stand (only tilts backward about 40 degrees). also the speakers are not very loud, there are lots of sound adjustments that can be made in the menu (equalizer) though. i would suggest using an alternate sound system. i did find 3 or 4 dead pixels but it is only noticeable if you're within 6 inches of the screen and it is a blank (black) screen.
Overall Review: i have my Xbox 360 connected to the component inputs which DOES support 1080p. this was not clearly stated in the description. just thought id clear that up. if your on a budget and your picky about quality then this is for you.
