Great for Home Gym and/or Guest Room November 17, 2008 Pros : Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Good Connection Options, Good color
Cons : Image a little dark when viewed from above or below, Poor Sound, Limited Shadow Detail
Best Uses : Home Gym or secondary TV set.
I set this up in a home gym/guest room, for which it works perfectly. The Peerless stand, although design-flawed somewhat, works great to get the screen to a height that can be seen from the elliptical trainer and then can be re-adjusted to accommodate guests. It is the only stand of its type that I was able to find.
I think the color was good right out of the box. The movie "Gladiator" looked deep, contrasty, and colorful just as it was intended to look, although the blacks don't have quite enough levels. Sometimes it's a little too dark in the shadows. But overall the colors are true and vibrant.
It's nice that the TV automatically switches to the DVD player when you insert a DVD. This TV has excellent side-to-side viewing angles, but not so great when viewed from above or below, where it gets very dark. You must have this TV placed at eye-level to see the picture.
Despite these minor drawbacks, I am happy with this set for my gym/guest room, and you can purchase without worry. Just don't buy this as a primary TV set. I used AMEX points to purchase for FREE!
Accessories I Recommend: Peerless LCFS 100 - TV stand
