Good TV but runs hot

"This TV is loaded with features and the picture is fantastic. True to life details will amaze you. Nature scenes such as underwater, mountains and flowers and trees are extraordinarily sharpe and clear with vivid color. But buyer beware!

"Awesome TV all around. Rich and deep colors that you would not get with an LCD; great for anything I watch. Do not expect to really see the touch of color. It does not light up like most think and it's very subtle. "
