Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great picture! I baught this tv a few weeks ago and i'm very pleased with the picture quality! Everything works as it should and the setup of the tv was easy. If i had to have any complaint, it would be the speakers could use improvement, I noticed some people's voices would almost vibrate the speakers, but there's different sound effects you can change on the tv and I found an adjustment where I don't notice it nearly as much, if at all. Honestly, for the price point, you're getting a really well made tv, with an excellent picture! Overall I'm happy with my purchase.
