5 Stars Simply Superb
This is simply a superb television. We had looked at others in the 52-inch class that cost less and actually were going to go to Costco and buy a Sharp when we went elsewhere and saw this sset. We also have a Toshiba 42″ plasma that has been an excellent unit. The thing we miss from our 42″ unit is the built-in TV Guide which this set does not have. That’s the only down side. We’ve had it for just over one month and have watched it quite a bit since my wife had major surgery at the beginning of December and we’ve had to watch more than our fair share of television and movies.
I’ll admit I was a little worried because we had bought the HD-DVD player from Toshiba 18 months ago and it failed prematurely. We did upgrade our warranty on this TV to 4 years because of that experience and had the store include it in the purchase price.
5 Stars Excellent Television
There is so much to love about this set. My favorite feature is the SRT which makes even standard definition broadcast look great. I definitely had my doubts about how well the SRT would work since I bought this set without seeing it in person, but this is a feature I am very happy about. I think almost any TV in this class is going to make HD look amazing so the SRT is what really makes this set stand out to me. I do also appreciate the stable sound feature which keep commercials from blaring. Build quality and casing look good.
As for Cons with this set, I do wish it were thinner and had a smaller bezel but these are not big enough complaints for me to take off a star. 4″ thick and 1.5″ bezel is fine. This set does not have any extra memory card or internet connectivity which did not matter to me but it probably is important to some people.
Entirely happy with this product - we’ve only had it for a couple days so these are initial impressions as of the time of this review. We bought from Amazon directly and the delivery service was really nice - I am glad I did not need to load that huge box in my car.
UPDATE 4 MOS ON: Still love it. No issues, its a fantastic set.
