Worth Considering
|
I have owned this set for almost a year, and it is excellent for my purposes. The sound quality on my unit is more than adequate to fill a large room without distortion. It is a portable TV, so I don't expect it to sound like a home theater. I have not tried adding external speakers.
Primarily I use this TV to watch widescreen movies in relatively close quarters. However, 3:4 ratio cable programs and DVD's do scale quite well to the screen resolution. The effectiveness of the progressive scan appears to be dependent on the quality of the DVD; with most it is a substantial improvement, with some it doesn't much matter.
The fact that the TV can be used as a computer monitor is very handy if you need an extra monitor temporarily to transition between desktop computers. Depending on your needs and preferences, it might also be a better choice as part of a TV-computer setup than most recent wide screen laptops, which either lack or have miserable tuners.
Since there doesn't appear to be any difference between the specifications of this model and its replacement, Model LT-P1795W, the LTN1785W is likely to be the better option at a bargain price.
