-Probably the most aesthetically pleasing tv out there (design wise)

Cons:
- While the picture is rich and sharp, the deeper/darker colors even on Blu ray movies are somewhat lost due to the low contrast ratio.
- Hot spots. Slight glowing spots near the corners and upper middle-right of screen. Only really noticeable when screen is black or while watching a movie that is letter-boxed.
- The only video formats this tv reads from a memory stick are: .mp4 or .avi. This is kind of awful because all of my video files are .mov and .mv4 or even .flv.

Why the heck cant this thing read a quicktime file? Quicktime files are great and who's using .avi's anyway. I've been converting some of my files to .mp4 but that is an awful compressor that gives either super bad quality or a massive file size that takes forever to convert. Defeats the purpose of the seemingly convenient feature.
I would recommend this to a friend!

More than expected it to be

This TV replaced an old Phillips tube unit that had worked well for 10 years. I needed a TV with multiple inputs for DVD player and Wii as well as an output for my audio system. Most low end units did not have the inputs/outputs I needed. This one did, sort of. My audio system used an S-video connection which this TV did not have but, with some research, I was able to find an adapter that made it work.
When I bought it, I was not aware that this TV would connect to my wireless network. It does but not well. I bought a signal booster that helped but my Wii connects easier, faster and more reliably. It's good that I don't plan to use it to access the internet. However, my laptop computer plays through it quite nicely so I can connect to the internet that way, if necessary.
I don't know if it's the many features or my advanced years but this is not as intuitive to use as I would like.
All in all, I'm very pleased with this TV and would recommend it to anybody.
Pros: picture quality
Cons: not as user friandly as it could be.

I shopped for other TV's, and the Phillips ended up being the most bang for our buck. Clear, loud when necessary, works well when turned on.

Love,love, love this TV. When the satellite goes out, we can still watch movies on different venues like Netflix, Vudu and we don't have to be without TV. Great product, fabulous color and picture. Haven't tried to send videos or pics from the computer yet but that's next.
