    I've had this TV for almost 8 months and am as happy with it as I was the day it was set up. The picture is wonderful and the sound very pleasing. There is no pixelating from fast image movement. The frame is brushed metal and narrow enough that the set doesn't stick out. Very beautiful. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this TV again. My only regret is that I didn't buy the 46" which in retrospect would have fit the room well.

    Instead of droning on and on about how similar the features are to the XBR (minus the motion flow. which I probably wouldn't even notice) let me just get to the bottom line. Amazon was hands down, THE VERY BEST deal I found anywhere. Not only was the TV $300-$400 cheaper than it was anywhere else at a local retailer like Best Buy or Circuit City, but here's the best part.... I paid NO TAX (I live in Texas, amazon is based in WA,its a beautiful thing) and got free shipping. So we're talking approximately $500-$600 savings by using amazon once you figure in tax and shipping on top of that list price savings. Delivery was another pleasant surprise. My estimated delivery date was about a week and a half out, however I got a call three days after my order from Ceva saying that my tv was already in town and could they bring it tomorrow...um, yes please! Amazon contracts Ceva, a private shipping company that specializes in delivery of flat screen tv's. They showed up in a very clean small speciality van, which was great since it meant my tv wasn't bouncing around some big UPS or Fed Ex truck and being tossed around. The guys took the TV upstairs to my second floor apartment, took it out of the box, plugged it in and showed me the remote basics. They were very professional. I even tested my new upconvert dvd player with a movie I had waiting just to make sure it all worked. After all of that, then I signed off and they were on their way/ Try getting service like that from ANYWHERE else. Seriously, A + service all the way, highly recommended!

    I bought this tv about 3 days ago, and it is going back. The picture from 85 to 95 degrees is terrific, blacks levels are great. But then when I moved out side of this ideal viewing angle, the contrast and color saturation dropped swiftly and considerably. Unless you want to subject your friends and family who are not in the 'pole position' viewing spot to watch a washed-out, sub-par picture, you will not buy this tv. If it will be only you watching the tv, from dead-on center, then get it.
