Detailed review
I bought this TV in those days when HDTV inputs were hyped - but HDTV tuners were not yet mandatory. It's my office TV, and I'm happy with it.

I've got it connect to a DVD player, an Apple TV, and a (non-HD) Dish Network receiver. The picture is nice and sharp, sound is about average for television speakers. It's lasted a couple years now without any problems, under fairly constant use.

One thing I like VERY much about it is that it has discrete codes for PowerOn/PowerOff and the various Inputs. That's important because I use a Harmony remote to switch between the various functions. My newer TV for the living room lacks that, and so the Harmony can get confused if it gets out of sync with the settings on the TV.

The biggest downside is the lack of a DTV receiver. Which is why I probably wouldn't buy it again. But I'm not unhappy I bought it when I did.
