This set is as good if not better than our Sharp which we paid over $2,000 for. Unlike what others have written here, our set came with both a 72 page manual and a CD for instructions. In less than 10 minutes my 15 yr old son had his X-box up and running and he had prgrammed the Verizon Fios stations along with the remote control. The only change we made to the factory settings was to add a bit more color which was a personal preference to deepen the overall presentation. We have played videos off our laptop computer on it as well as posted digital photos directly from our camera, all with absolutely great picture presentation. I don't know if there is a shortage of these right now (Labor Day weekend) but it took searching in seven stores to find this model- the 242-T as opposed to the 242-V which is a wider screen presentation. You will not regret making the purchase.

Pros: picture quality, price
Cons: remote is not universal, cd no book

I bought this after Thanksgiving for only $699.00!! It is as good as any of the TVs selling in the $1500 range. I love it and with some added surround sound and Blu-Ray DVD, you'd believe you were in the theater watching a movie for the first time!

Pros: price, picture quality
Cons: quality??, no paper manuals, menu operations

Just purchased this unit for family member. Took it home to compare to my NEW $2000 LCD SAMSUNG and guess what!!! I did not make any adjustments, only turned it on the picture was MUCH better than the Samsumg. Facial details/skin color, colors during football and grass "grain" while watching golf was SUPERIOR to the Samsung. For $850 this unit is a steal. FYI...you will probably see two versions available...the T version has the speakers on the bottom and the V version has them on the side. Who says you have to pay over $2000 to get the best. This TV is worth considering if on a budget! I am on my way back to the place of my purchase to make sure the Samsung isn't broken!
