This 42 inch HDTV is a great combo with the internet for movies and sports. The Netflix feature is great and the picture is awesome. Widgets can be useful too. I like the ability to make adjustments to picture and the many hdmi inputs. There is also the abillity to output digital sound to your home theater system with the optical out. This is great if you dont have hdmi inputs on your surround sound amplifier. Overall my experience was great with amazon and Fifth Ave electronics. It was shipped right to my house in a few days.

Great TV. This is what I have been waiting for. I love Netflix and Vudu integration. Vudu is awesome. The TV itself is wonderful. Great picture quality and sound. I bought a receiver along with it but I will be returning the receiver because the speakers on the tv meets my needs. Unfortunately, I got it from Bestbuy for about $100 more than what Amazon is selling for.

This is a Great HDTV For the money $850.00 Free Shipping and No Tax. Picture quality is AMAZING. Sound is ok! You can always do better sound wise so I elected to go with the LG Surround Sound DVD with Ipod adapter. Now This Set Rocks! I much rather watch movies at home now as opposed to going out to a movie. With it being Netflix Ready I just plugged my Ethernet cable in and now I can watch all the free movies they have to offer. I got the Netgear 5 port so I can use my computer and TV at the same time with my DSL service. Best Investment I ever Made.

Our “not too old” Sony TV decided not to come on one day so we decided it was time to upgrade to something better. Were we in for a treat.
The previous reviewers have pretty much covered the basics of this TV, so I will relate my experience with it so far. I’ve had the TV for a couple weeks. I do not subscribe to any paid TV service (Cable, Satellite or FIOS) and have been relying strictly on digital OTA (Over The Air) for my TV channels. This TV displays OTA HDTV signals with unbelievable clarity. Also, it does a very good job with SDTV (480i) digital signals as well. I’ve watched 480i on other HDTV sets and was never as happy with the picture as I am with this one. Another surprise on this TV was how well it pulled in some analog stations from Canada.
I have a second HDTV tuner hooked up to the new TV via HDMI in order to utilize the guide and for scheduling recordings fro my VCR. Yes, my VCR! As I stated above, this TV handles 480i so well it makes VCR tapes bearable, even enjoyable! So, my VCR still has some use.
I have the TV hooked online via an Ethernet cable. I subscribe to Netflix and only have a 1 mps speed for my internet. Netflix does not look all that good at this speed, but is watchable, especially for animated kids shows. Having Netfix on your TV is awesome. The interface is so easy to use that our 6 year old had it down in no time. I also tried VUDU and found that the picture quality was much better than Netflix and was usable at my 1 mps speed. You-Tube was about the same as it is online – some videos looked OK, some don’t.
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to access and view files on my computer. You can view pictures, play background music while viewing slideshows, and view videos stored on shared folders on your networked computer or any type of memory device attached to the USB port, such as a thumb drive or external hard drive. I was a little disappointed that it would not play AVI files from my wife’s digital camera, but I’m sure there’s a solution. It will play WMV, other AVIs, and some DVD files I’d copied (VOB, I think).
Picture control is very good. I like the energy saving feature, but sometimes it seems the auto adjust feature leaves the screen a bit dark. I usually set it to medium or minimum, depending on the amount of light in the room.
The sound is OK. While it sounds good, there could be more control when watching online content. Sometimes the sound can be too loud for one video, then too low for another. Or even vary during a video. Hard to blame the TV though. The quality of the sound is good, not awesome but acceptable. If you want more, get a sound system.
The remote is a weak spot on this TV. I find myself hunting for buttons all the time. There is no natural flow to the buttons. The remote is very long and narrow, I cannot reach all most commonly used buttons with my thumb and I have big hands.
The inputs in back face the back so plan accordingly when mounting it to the wall.
The manual is on a CD, a printed one would have been better. There is an onscreen manual which isn’t too bad though for most things.

Just got this tv to replace an old one that broke and I love it. The picture is so amazingly realistic that when people on the screen start running it makes me dizzy
The sound is awesome too. And I simply love my netflix instant queue being available on the tv. And it the cabinet looks very sleek too. Just a great tv. Bought it from 6ave here on amazon and got it in under 48 hours with standard free shipping – ordered 5pm on thursday and got it 2pm on saturday! Got it sight unseen (old tv broke and had to get one asap) but was amazed at how great it is. Couldnt be happier! And 6ave customer service was great too!
