Preface: I purchased this via Amazon and they sold and delivered it. 12 years ago I bought the 58 Panasonic Plasma, they also sold and delivered. I was impressed with the deliver and handling back then and only trusted them to get the job done. Thus, I shopped for only TV's they handled. No I dont work for Amazon but have the highest regard for them considering never, have they let me down on a shipment. Once, and I had to laugh. I thought it was funny when I got a message from them that basically said 'we dont know where you package is and if you will ever get it'. I laughed. Thought it was funny. I got it, albeit a little late but it was in fine condition. Hey I'm an old man they humored me.
1. Amazon will advise you of the delivery time. You know the date and you must be there on that date to sign for it. My bad that I did not answer the call but my wife and I were getting spam calls from the west coast and this call was coming from the west coast so I ignored it.
2, Installers will unpack, let you inspect for damage, set the tv where you want it, turn it on and make sure it works. They are not there to fine tune it for you they have other deliveries.
3. PIcture is excellant. Of note, I have Cons Repts and there review got me to zero in on this model. You can save hundreds with the 850 model. This one had just a few more bells and whistles and I spent the extra for it.
3. I went into the Custom settings and used the settings that Cons Reports came up with in their testing lab. Irony is the tv was already on most of their setting so there is not a lot of diff there. I discovered going through all many choices you can select via their menu that Standard, and the Sports setting give you the best picture. Sports setting is very vibrant and bright, too much for my wife. We use the standard setting most.
4 A biggy and worry of mine in this tv selection process ( I spent six months researching this) was angle viewing and sports blurry. We have two coaches at an angle to any tv we would get and I have to say the angle viewing is very good on this. Some of these led tv's you need to be in front of or the picture blurs. I sit at a 25 degree angle and no problem. Also, we watch a lot of hocky and football and there is zero blur or interruption. This tv is 240 hrz versus the 120 so you will get no motion disruption. I sit 13 feet from the tv by the way.
Last, I watched this tv at 2399 then it went to 1999 for a long time, then finally Amazon dropped it to 1799 and I was close, very close and I thought, come on drop it 200 more and they did. As soon as I saw it at 1599 I jumped all over it. Great buy. These wont last long at that price.
