"Overall this product performs well in most aspects, except for colour representation. The flesh tones are not accurate and the colour tends to be over saturated. Contrast is good, and better than average black levels. The picture does tend to be grainy depending on the source. Anti-glare coating is not overly effective. Do not buy this product unless you are willing to gamble on the service provided by Sam..." Read Full Review »
