    The only issue is that our Cable company could never bet the right code to work with their remote. They tried 20 different codes and none worked so we must use two remotes.

    Bought this TV for my parents due to old TV went out after 10 years. Compaired it to a few others in same price range from instock models. Went with it. Install was easy picture seems good. Not a fan of the remote but thats not a deal breaker. If it lasts 10 years ill be happy...so far so good. With new TVs you pay for what you get...But do you need the extra stuff. This seemed to be right in the middle.
