from www.amazon.com
i agree with the previous person that this tv has great performance.
from www.amazon.com
of course, you should be aware of its middling performance with non-hd content.
from www.amazon.com
like i said, the third issue is more of an issue with the remote and the fact that the harmony still gives more functionality than the original remote kind of nullifies this complaint.
from www.amazon.com
this does not affect the tv's performance.
