The picture is very very good but not as crisp as my XBR4 !!! The sound is like a cheap AM/FM radio, so better to hook it up in a 5.1 speaker system or your home theater.

I purchased this LED TV from PC Richard just prior to Thanksgiving and have been pleased ever since. The TV works great with my TiVo, HTPC and BluRay player. The colors and blacks are just perfect while watching in a bright room or a dark room.
I was constatly going back and forth between the 46" and 55" and am glad I went with the 55". I sit approximately 12' from the screen and would have been disappointed with anything smaller.
