Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Rentacenter

Summary:
This TV has big bang for the buck. While the HDMI inputs are upward facing (difficult to get a large HDMI connector in), connection for any component is a snap. It is easy to navigate menus, and the remote is simple, but not very pleasing to look at. The picture is the best I've seen so far, and I have the TV in a very small room, so I sit very close to it, and it doesn't loose any quality.
This TV is fantastically bright. You can use it in the brightest of rooms and still see a quality picture.

Strengths:
TV stand is already installed. Just take it out of the box and put it on your entertainment center with no installation.
Fantastic picture.
Reds are red, blues are blue, greens are green, no more explanation necessary.
Bright, vivid, vibrant colors in 1080i, 1080p, and even 720 will blow your mind.
Plug and play.
Factory remote has separate buttons for each video source input.

Weaknesses:
Factory remote isn't the prettiest thing to look at.
Switching between video sources takes time for each mode to adjust before you can switch to the next one if you are using a universal remote control.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
