Own one of these, got it from Wallyworld for $240 about 6 months ago and have nothing to say about it but WOW! We mounted it at the end of the bed and it is crystal clear, HD cable is perfect 1080i, couldn’t be happier and highly recommend it.
I have this model, bought it new for around 200 last year. It’s a fine size for bedroom, office, etc. Nice and slim, very good picture, looks great with Blu Rays even though 720p (shouldn’t matter much at this size). Very crisp picture from cable with no box, even picks up HBO on my cable system for some reason. The logo is always lit, a kind of orange color when off, bright white when on. The remote is not lighted. Seems to be very well made, has a quality look to it. It has very good volume-most times I have it set to a very low number and I can hear it clearly across the bedroom. Actually very good sound from the built in speakers.
I don’t think there’s any downside. I have the 20" version that I use mainly as a computer monitor. Once in a while I’ll switch the input over to TV. The image quality is pretty decent and the remote is easy to use. I’m tempted to get this 22" model…
I’ve had this television for almost a year now. It runs beautifully. I use it for my xbox and the picture is beautiful. I’ve used it as an external projection device with my laptop without problems. The “HD audio” that’s built in is actually pretty good. You’ll have to tweak the color scheme a bit when you first get it, but that’s true with a lot of HDTVs. The TV has one problem though, when using a VGA device like a game console or computer you have very limited controls over the picture. The presets and other custom picture settings don’t work in VGA mode.
