Exceeds my expectations

"I've been shopping for an HDTV for a while now, waiting for the prices to fall and/or the features and tech to improve. I narrowed my current list to the Sharp 52 & 46" LCD (LC-52D64U/LC-46D64U), Panasonic 50" 720p plasma (PX series), Hitachi 50 720p plasma (P50S601), Samsung's 46" LCDs and 50" 720p plasmas and of course the Holy Grail - Pioneer Kuro 50" plasma even if only at 720p. I almost bought the Pioneer K..." Read Full Review »

"This is my first flat screen TV, and it doesn't disappoint. It's big enough for easy viewing anywhere in my living room, it fits just right between the fireplace and an adjacent wall and it doesn't dominate the room like an 800 pound gorilla. I love the picture size and clarity, although that varies …"  Read Full Review »
