  • Picture quality It's great except in the afternoon when we get a lot of sun. I got a wall mount which helps. great!
  • Sound quality OK, we ordered a Bose Sound Bar to go with it and I'll rate it when it's in. With the Sound Bar the system is excellent. so-so
  • Media support I have the Apple TV but this also gives me access to Google TV. Make that Amazon TV, also added the Vudu and Hulu Apps. good
  • Other features (networking, etc.) No problem hooking it up. Wish it had an App though. Correct that, added the Xfinity App and use the Bose universal remote with helps. good
Detailed review
I'm not a videophile so I'll leave the image review to others, my impression is that it's great and I may edit this once I've watched enough content. All of these toys beg for a dashboard App, I can only hope. Using the remote a pain.

Three months on I really love this TV and continue to be impressed with the image. Paired with the Bose and watching TV is a treat. My biggest complaint is with the user interface which really would benefit from an App which almost makes tuning Xfinity tolerable.

And, as good as the TV is, it doesn't mean Comcast broadcast TV sucks any less.
