Strengths: great value, fantastic picture. much better sound quality than expected.
Weaknesses: only the 2 hdmi inputs, but this doesn't affect me as i only use cable and a dvd player with it. Xbox360 and PS3 might use hdmi causing an issue, but im sure you can hook up component cables...
Summary: It looks fantastic. i had some weak signal issues with my cable and a bad quality cable splitter(for modem and second tv) but when i replaced that and had the cable guy come, it looks wonderful. each input remembers your settings, which is nice.... when i switch to my wii or dvd player and have them output widescreen mode, the tv remembers the stretch/fill screen setting so i don't have to do it every time. i saw it in a big box store and wasnt impressed with the sound, but when i got it it really sounds fairly good. not the best i've heard, but pretty good. there is a 30ms input lag for my wii, so certain games should be calibrated. there might be better tvs out there, but not at this price. its a great value.
