   I am not a videophile or audiophile. This is my first HD TV and my first venture into the DLP/plasma/LCD/LED world…I am a novice. I bought my set on November 18, 2009 after a few days of research…most of it from the Amazon site. My set worked perfectly out of the box. I got an easily readable paper manual in the box. The remote works fine and is easy to figure out. The onscreen directions are among the best I’ve ever seen. However, my frame of reference is a 5 year old Sharp TV which had horrible documentation and worse onscreen prompting. There is minimal glare from lights and the nearby floor to ceiling windows (but even if there was, I could close the blinds), the black on the screen is very black, the blue is very blue, the red is very red, without calibrating anything, and the internal speakers sound very good. The set has wonderful features…most of which I will never use…

   I bought this set to get a sharp picture. I am a college basketball fan, and I can tell you that I can easily see the names on the jerseys of the players on my alma mater’s basketball team…from eleven feet away. I can also see the acne scars on the coaches face, the freckles on the boyish star center’s nose (which I had no idea he had from my former TV), the sweat beading up on their faces, and their footprints on the arena floor…I got more than I expected.

   For the rest of you novices out there who want a great television, I would suggest that this set will EXCEED your expectations.
