Good TV for the price

"I purchased this TV from Sears on 2/26/09 for $1499.99 plus an additional 10% off for using my Sears card. I am replacing a Mitsubishi 55" 1080i projection tv that has been great for five years but just takes up a lot of room. So far I am satisfied with the TV. I have Dish Network HD and a PS3 for Blu Ray. Once I realized I forgot to have the PS3 scan for a 1080p TV I was extremly happy with the 1080p picture. T..." Read Full Review »

I couldn't be happy with the clarity of the scrolling sportscenter scoreboard or the graphics on my PS3 on this 52" LCD. However I almost returned it as soon as I hooked it up because of the awful sound. If you dont have a h..." Read Full Review »

"I bought this model over the Sony because of the price savings and the reviews many people all over the web gave it. The picture quality is good. It's obviously not keeping up with the 120hz rate with sports but with action movies it does very well. The only reason I dinged it a star is the sound. T …" Read Full Review »
