Strength:

Picture and Sound

Weakness:

needs one extra digital connection. But, if you use the one it has for HDTV signal and connect your dvd to component, or svhs you will not complain

Before I purchased this TV, I have read all the pro-reviews that I can access thru the internet. This TV which I compared in the store using Bugs life DVD looked a way better than a comparable sony and samsung and other HDTVs. It looked more 3 dimentional and gives you the feeling that you can reach out and touch the animation. The sound impressed my family and my guests who visit. . . they thought I had my sound system on. It has a built in subwoofer along with 4 other speakers that make it sound better than other high end TVs. At the begining I had a complaint about the long Menu set up. But later, I found that there are many short cuts thru the remote control that takes you directly to the Video, Audio , Inputs , digital setups and other setups which I found really user friendly. The line doubler that is built in does eleminate the scanning lines and make the picture a lot better, just like all the reviewers claim. It is so good that I even preferred to connect my DVD using its SVHS connection than the progrssive display. It is obvious that the other reviewer who complained about this TV set is biased against it, and lacks all the tech instructions of how to operate a magnificent piece of equipment like this HDTV set.

Strength:

Ummmmm.......no

Weakness:

Ummmmmm...........everything....especially the menus

This is probably the worst hi def 16:9 you can get. The menus are inexcusable and they are overly difficult to operate. Also the tv tries to make everything 3d which gives it a weird camcorder bootleg look to it. Stay away Go for the Panasonic CT34wx50 OR the sony kp34xbr2 for some good 16:9.
