Great TV for the price, February 2, 2010

This TV is quite impressive, especially for the money. There are plenty of inputs, many of which are conveniently located on the side of the panel. As far as the picture goes, the color is fantastic, and the contrast is pretty good as well. Where this TV falls short is the uneven back-lighting. In a low light setting watching a dark scene, you can see portions of the screen are brighter than others, which can be annoying at best and distracting at worst. Aside from that, I have no complaints with the television. Were money no object, I’m sure the Proscan would rate lower, however the value you get out of this TV for the price is hard to match. It is a very fine budget LCD HDTV.

Excellent for the price, February 28, 2010

I bought this for my workout room and for the money it is excellent. It was easy to set up and the picture quality is very good. I have a 00 1080p TV in my main room and the picture quality is only somewhat better. For the price this thing fully delivers. We looked locally at TV’s and couldn’t even get a 720p for this price.

If you are going to nit pick or expect a 00+ TV, then get your head screwed on right, it is not a high end TV but it is definitely not crap and the thing I really like about it is I have it up a little higher so I can see it to work out with but I can even see the picture and colors true when I’m on the floor stretching.

+ Amazon prime .99 overnight shipping to my door. The local store couldn’t beat that if they tried.

Great TV at a Great Price, December 23, 2009

Bought this TV when it was on sale at costco for 9. Excellent picture quality, adequate inputs (3x hdmi, 2x component, 1x composite/s-video), and a nice sound system. It is also very slim in depth compared to other non-ultraslim flat screens.

Why I wouldn’t give this tv 4-stars:

No USB input, second component input, or L/R audio output (you will have to buy a Y-audio cable for audio output).

When there is no sound on an input the speakers make this small popping noise. I don’t know why that is. To accommodate the noise, I put the tv on mute and the popping stops.

Another shortcoming is the remote control range. It does not work if it is more than a 30-degree angle from the receiver or not at the same vertical level.

Overall, it is a great tv for a great price.
