"This is a quantum leap beyond the 15 year old magnavox I replaced, but now my 22" viewsonic moniter looks like a cumbersome antique. Mounted on the wall is where these TV's really shine, and at less than 2" thick, it REALLY mounts to the wall. The picture is absolutey stunning. I have tried plenty …"  Read Full Review »
