I purchased this set to get rid of a heavy tube HD set, but couldn't afford a high priced LED set. For the money, this set is an excellent value. I have DirecTv for tv with an HDMI input, and a regular DVD player with an HDMI "upconvert" feature. The picture is wonderful on both inputs. You can adjust the picture as you wish with the remote control menu.
Now for the minor flaws.
1) You do have to turn the volume way up. I thought at first it was because I have a noisy heat pump fan (I had just moved here when I got the set). But it's not a major issue for me, and I can use the stereo if need be. I notice it more on DVD's than DirecTv.
note: A reader in the comments section suggested turning off the "AI" feature. If you go into the AUDIO section on the remote menu, you will find several adjustments which helped the sound by 50% on my set.
2) The remote control is not easy to use. The sleep timer only gives you three choices: 30, 60, and 90 minutes. I prefer my old set that went in 10 minute increments up to 2 hours, but again, a minor issue. I normally use my DirecTv remote control to turn it on and off and adjust the sound.
3) It claims to have a feature that helps with motion scenes, but I notice some fast motion scenes are choppy, a problem that plauged earlier LCD sets. It only has 60hz refresh rate. Not a big deal for me.
Those are minor complaints and overall I'm satisfied with the set.
