This TV has worked great for me the past month. It had no dead pixels and was easy to set up. Had a little Super Bowl party here and it got lots of compliments and it is perferct for watching sports.
My only complaint is that in dark scenes with all the house lights on, there's a bit of a grayish cast/reflection coming from the screen. If I turn the lights off (such as when watching a movie), it goes away. But it can be a little annoying during dark scenes in regular TV. Otherwise, color is vibrant, the picture is sharp, standard definition television looks decent, and high-def is beautiful. An A- overall, and an A+ on value.
