After one year, we love it
|
We bought this TV in Jan 2005, and have been very satisfied. Aside from the fact that it weighs a ton (OK, 57 kg with the stand) and mounting it above the fireplace was an ordeal, we can't complain.
- picture is gorgeous: regular 480i channels look decent (and only moderately stretched when you go to full-screen), and HDTV broadcasts such as 24 on Fox are awesome, even the sound is way better than basic cable. (The TV will play them without a cable card if they are unencrypted.) I've seen worse HD quality (fuzzy, grainy) on my friend's rear-projection "true" HDTV.
- sound is great even out of the speakers; but I generally pipe it to my Bose.
- can pop SDcards in the front to view digital photos easily.
- remote control works with our DVD player too, and the manual contains many codes for different products.
- no problems with watching DVD movies on our progressive-scan player, quality is superb, aside from many of them having letterbox format.
- no complaints on the picture getting dimmer when being viewed from the side.
Minor complaints:
- yes, switching stations takes about 1.5 secs, although you can do it in the PIP mode and it's instant (then press Swap when you get to the one you want).
- only 'bug' I've noticed so far is occasionally (every ~4 months) the picture quality suddenly degrades considerably. I thought it was a cable problem, until I noticed picking a HD channel then switching back cures it immediately. Odd.
- the 'Auto-Off' feature is limited to the current 'session'. Since it's easy to turn off the DVD player without turning off the TV (the screen goes almost-dark, with only the small red LED to remind you) - it is possible to leave it on for an extended period accidentally. I don't know if this is a problem though. |
