Customer Reviews

It's ok for a first generation LED backlit LCD I owned it for a few weeks and then returned it. For this much money for a 47" LCD, I expect a lot. The colors were saturated and the blacks were dark, just as you'd expect from the LED backlit set. But the blooming or haloing created by the local dimming is just too much. There aren't enough LEDs in the array. So when white text scrolls on a black background like credits you can see a halo around ever letter or word. Then as they scroll, the LEDs turn on and off accordingly and you can very easily see this "pop" of the LEDS turning off. You then begin to notice the same haloing around faces in dark scenes. Pretty soon it is all you see. You can turn local dimming off, which essentially turns the LEDs into an always on backlight like all CCFL based LCDs. But then you lose the dark blacks benefits, and soon you realize you paid 50% more for a feature that you aren't using anymore and now your set looks about the same as all the others at far less cost. Amazing Picture I am not sure why the last reviewer discussed the 47' tv they found for far less, that is true but that's because the other TV's wont produce the picture quality of this TV and this TV blows all normal tv's out of the water. I saw this TV calibrated in the magnolia room at best buy on the wall next to a pioneer pro elite and the picture quality was in my eyes BETTER. I have been waiting to pull the trigger on a new HDTV until I could get more HD content and I am glad I did. As one of the reviewers posted the local dimming can potentially create some halo effects, but my viewing experience has not proved to show this. The picture quality on this TV is WAY WAY WAY better then any other LCD I have viewed other then the Samsung LN46A950 and the Sony tv with LED backlighting. I agree that this TV was expensive at its release but as anything in technology if you wait a few months you can get a deal. I just picked this TV up two weekends ago for $1800 at best buy on sale. The Samsung is stil $3,000 and the sony is in the $5,000 neighborhood, so at $1800 I couldn't pass this up. This TV is GREAT!!!!! I love the TV. Meets all expectations
I received this from amazon's warehouse; whoever returned it
clearly didn't tweak (or know how to tweak) the picture sets for
optimum performance. After playing around with all the pix options -
and there are a lot of choices - I ended up with video that was
incredible....an amazing improvement on my 3yr old sharp (which I had
thought was really great.) The picture is sharp, the colors natural,
the depth and the blacks superb. For folks who haven't a clue how to
set up the picture, there are plenty of sites like sound&vision or
PC world or pc mag who list their particular preferences.
The gents who delivered were awesome....set it up and made sure it worked. Applause for amazon's service here.


Have no comment on audio since I use my own sound system.
