Christina Magleby: I have ot admit, when my husband mentioned buying the TV on here, i was a little apprehensive, well VERY apprehensive. But then we looked over it, whit white glove shipping, and then of course the price and we couldnt pass it up! and i have been so pleased with it! Its amazing the quality! we havent used the monster cables with it as i read on a couple reviews here that it wasnt that big of a dieerence for that much of a price for the cables.

However we did use an HDMI cable and at first we couldnt get it to work (because of us, not the Tv, lol, we had it plugged into the wrong one, duh!) and once we got it to work, WOW that quality is jsut amazing! very rarely when its a really dark scene (usually with oilder movies on TV) is seems like the faces are kinda floaty, like you can see them moving, i dont know how to explain it. but its very rarely, that is why we rated it 4 rather than 5 stars. all in all we are EXTREMELY pleased with it. As far as a warranty goes, we ended up getting one through Sony directly, and an very pleased with that decision as well, but you have to make sure to do it within the first month of purchase
