I purchased this unit online through Amazon at a great price I might add (get it while supplies last). The picture is spectacular, radiant, perfect. I did notice a little too much contrast but that is adjustable. Watching a baseball game and the local news has just been elevated to being right there in the stadium or the studio. I chose Philips because of its longevity in the TV business as well as owning another standard TV by them. Both products are great. I am floored and bedazzled by my new LCD. Just love it.
