    Posted by: from Paw paw, mi on 05/10/2013Great tv for the price. I got it on sale for $399. I compare this picture to lg or Samsung for the quality of it. Easy to set up. This tv does not have all the bells and whistles.

    Beautiful picture, but sound quality is lacking

    Posted by: from Seguin, TX on 05/10/2013My son (not I) set it up in about 1/2 hour. This TV is my first flat screen HD. I got an excellent price as it's the last of this model. I am considering getting extra speakers for optimum sound.

    Great tv, price, picture. Happy customer
    5
    Posted by: from united states on 05/07/2013After searching and searching for the right tv from Wal-Mart, Target, HH Greg and others I was running out of luck thinking Best Buy would be extremely high. Boy oh boy I stuck my foot in my mouth. I got it at a wonderful price and it has a wonderful picture.To not have a blu ray movie in, it looks like it's blu ray. The sound is not to perfect but you can always purchase surround sound which I did and it's fine. It does require HDMI cables for the BEST picture. My first purchase on a flat screen in over 3 years and I am totally satisfied with this television

    Great 42" tv bought for my mom
    4
    Posted by: from Henrietta ny on 05/07/2013Its a great 42" tv for my 82 yr old mom and she loves it. It took a bit to be sure we had the correct screen. It depend on the channels you use and what your watching. We did figure it out and works great. Requires HDMI cable for best quality picture and a different cable box for a better picture and gold ones are the best to use. Be sure to ask about the REWARDS card. I only knew about the card by over hearing another associate telling another customer about it while making another purchase in another department.
