We are redoing our living room and finally got rid of our old 27" CRT and upgraded to this behemoth. I wasn't expecting to buy a Dynex but the price at the time was too good to turn down. I expected only decent picture quality, but it was stunningly better than expected. Sound set to 20 fills the room (its a very large rectangular room too). I do most of my shopping online, as I hate store shopping, I didn't even go in to compare the picture quality to the supposedly better top tier brands. Many people might say that is a dumb idea to buy a TV sight unseen, but here's the thing. The display models are all set up to show off their best qualities. At home viewing the lighting is going to be different and so is the video feed. I buy on features, and this TV is pretty loaded with the things I wanted, and lacks the things I see no point in, like 3D and built in apps. I don't need a smart TV when I have a Roku, PS3 and a Logitech revue. I don't need 3D effects. I watch movies for their entertainment value, not the picture quality. Yes the HD is amazing, the picture is better than the 5 year old LCD I have in my bedroom. Be fair and actually consider this brand. Why spend another 500-1000 for the same size TV. I've been looking at TVs for a while and I'll be perfectly honest I'm no perfectionist. I just look for the best deals, but I do try to stay away from unknown and house brands. I saw this TV online and thought for the price it has to have issues. I read the reviews and most people here loved it. The few bad ones seem to be from people too stuck up or brand loyal. I was really looking for something in the ~40" range but when this TV was priced lower than most of the smaller sized competition I sprung and I'm glad I did. I'm not looking for bragging rights or the newest features, just a good priced TV.

OK, most people don't know it, but 1080P is not standard on ANY cable company unless you are talking about Pay per View. So we are all watching SD most of the time anyway. This TV handles 720p PERFECTLY and 1080i as expected, with some motion blur. The way to use this TV and take advantage of the LARGE picture (because that's all we want really anyway), is to keep 1080i turned off in your cable box preferences so that it defaults to 720p (when using the "native" setting). No HD TV 55 inches or larger that I have seen so far will stand up to SD in picture sharpness, clarity, and color. Snobs that spent $900.00 to $1500.00 for their 55 inch TV will tell you different, but they are just trying to justifying their overpriced purchase. They will also try to tell you that you need a $50.00 HDMI triple shielded, fuel injected, SUPER SPECIAL HDMI cable, but that is just more misinformation. A 24 karat gold plated High Speed HDMI cable will support more then 4 times the capability of your HD TV for around 4 to 8 bucks on the internet. BlueRay is another story, it looks great at 1080p on the Dynex and that's what counts, watch everything else at 720p (most will be 480 anyway), use the Dynex native setting with 1080i UNCHECKED in the setup of your cable box and the theater profile on the TV and you will be happy and save some big bucks.
