if ur going to buy a junk tv what the sense of buying a high def tv. ur wasting ur money if u buy a tv with a shit picture honestly. if u want a tv for the cool factor of a flat screen then go by a standard def flat screen. you are wasting your money on a off brand high def! sorry to say u get what u pay for. my grandfather bought my aunt a 42inch vizio for her xmas he did not realize how bad it was till he got it. its going back tomorrow for a samsung. 01audis4 was telling me on the phone about this thread while i was driving he could tell u how much of a ranti went on about shit tvs
