Amazing Picture Bad Sound

"Easy setup and amazing picture are the positives. I really debated whether I should go for the 120hz or not but that almost doubled the cost. I made the right choice sacrificing hz for size. 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 »
