Holy TV Watching Batman, This Is A Real LED TV.

Date of Review:  Jul 23, 2009
The Bottom Line: I can highly recommend this to the people that do research first. Do not buy this on a whim.
Review: These are the way of the future if you can afford them. These will set you back a pretty penny. You can usually see these at either Best Buy or Sears or even on line. For just a little under three thousand dollars you can have one of these babies...

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2009

Amazing Picture, with one (small) caution worth noting...

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2010
The Bottom Line: Buy it and upgrade your home theater experience
Review: First, let me say that the picture on this television is, simply put: AMAZING.  Blu-Ray and other 1080p content is a pleasure to watch--just as an example: my family watched Tinkerbell and Avatar on Blu Ray the week we got the television and...
