Review
The TV looks great–on or off! Every positive comment I’ve read about this thing is right-on.
I don’t have my satellite dish hooked up yet, so I hooked up an old 300 ohm off-air antenna (yes, “rabbit ears”) and turned it on. It found about 12 local HD channels, which look INCREDIBLE!! Can’t believe how good the tuner is in this thing–I’m about 20 miles from the nearest broadcast location, and the signal comes in clear as a bell!
I can’t imaging how great the picture will look when the HD satellite receiver is installed this weekend. Very satisfied and recommend to anyone in the market for a big screen HD TV. I can’t imagine a plasma or LCD tv having a better picture than this, and you can’t beat the price difference!
OneCall was prompt and courteous and the packaging didn’t have so much as a scrape on it.
