I brought this for a great price 259, as a refurbised. I've always had good expriences with refurbished items (keeping my fingers crossed and knock on wood).
This is my first HDTV, and really didn't know what to expect in terms of picture quality and ease of set up as it turned out...set up was easy and the picture quality is great!!
Brought it for the kitchen, and it's a perfect size. I would seriously consider getting a bigger sceen TV from this maker for the living room when I'm ready for that plunge!!!
