I purchased this unit from "the city of circuits" on 2/19/06. One of the stores in my area was sold out, but the other one had 12 in stock. Mine was on sale for $299.

As this unit was replacing a 17" old tv in my bedroom entertainment center, I didn't want to spend too much or get one too big. This unit fit the bill in every category.

I have satellite at my house and the S-Video cable (not included) turns out an exceptional picture. The colors are vivid and I don't see any distortion you might expect from a flat-panel television. The rear was surprisingly not as deep as I imagined. I did have to cut out the fiberboard back of my entertaiment center to accomodate the larger unit. I also had to move my EC from the wall another inch or two to accomodate the deeper back, but overall, it's nothing major.

If you're like most people these days, your TV runs its sound through a stereo system, so having massive speakers on the side is nothing but a waste of space. That's one reason I liked this unit. The built-in speakers only take up about two inches (if that) on each side.

I'm not using the menu or controls at all since I control everything from my satellite unit, but it all appears to work very simply.

One note of warning: This unit has no real handles to help you pick it up, and the box it comes in has the handles located to to the edge of one side. You really need two people to move this unit around.

I'm very satisfied with this TV.
