This tv was getting spit on by professional websites who rate tv's. They were arguing poor sound, black that looked more like blue, etc. Look at it yourself, don't listen to "professionals" who are probably paid by sony to spit on everything but sony. For the price of this tv, you can't go wrong. It's amazing quality, great picture for 1080i,1080p movies, and 1080p video game play. You can even turn on the motion enhancement (120hz refresh) for fast action movies. I watched "Gone in 60 Seconds" on this tv, and I don't like that movie, but it was a whole new experience on the Sharp Aquos. I would recommend it.
