Terrible Audio
I've had this TV for about 4 months and the audio keeps failing (typically at the most inconvenient time). A quick search on the web reveals that this is a problem several others are currently having. The best solution is to switch off the set for about 2 minutes and then restart! Not a joke! I've now done that a couple of times in the middle of some of my favorite shows and it's just ridiculous!
Save yourself the trouble and get a Panasonic or Sharp or anything else instead!

What a Shipping Mess
When it finally got here the TV was fine. The white glove shipping turned out a mess when the white glove supplier gave the TV to a trucking company by mistake. After six long phone calls to Amazon, the white glove supplier, and the trucking company, I finally told Amazon to either fix the problem or take the TV back.

The TV was delivered and "white gloved" on a Sunday by a driver in his SUV. He left the box because "I might need it if there was something wrong with the TV". Since he was headed to play golf I suspect the box was in his way.

All is well that ends well.We are enjoying the TV it works very well

Very happy with TV picture, price and delivery
I love the sharp HD picture and the sound and the on-screen interface of the set. The picture is so clear I noticed the newscaster on my local news needs to cut down on the pancake makeup. It looked like he applied it with a trowel. My only complaint -- and it's minor -- would probably be that the 32 inch screen seems a tad too small when you're viewing a non-HD broadcast reduced to the square picture format. (We got the 32 inch model because we needed it to fit into an existing entertainment cabinet.) Someone else complained online that the set smelled like hot plastic when they first used it. Mine didn't and I'm someone who notices things like that. As for the picture quality, the pre-set picture options are well-calibrated and personal adjustments are easy to fine tune. The remote is a bit large but not a big deal. The colors are true and vibrant. The blacks are pitch black, including the "pillars" that come up on the left and right side of the picture when you are watching a non-HD picture (I made that my preference because I don't like to stretch or crop a non-HD picture to fit the wider screen to avoid letterboxing). Both HD roof antenna picture and HD DirecTV look great on it. Free delivery of the TV took about a week and the shipment arrived in pristine condition. The price was about 0 cheaper than I could find in stores around Detroit. In all, I'd recommend the set and the buyer.

Great TV, awful delivery
I'm giving the one star review specifically because Amazon uses the worst delivery service I've ever seen. When I purchased the TV I read about their "white glove delivery" service on all HDTVs 27" and larger. I got nothing but runaround and took the box off the truck myself and well as all the setup, as the driver from Eagle Logistics was too busy telling me why he showed up at 7:30pm instead of the 1pm he told me or even the 5pm the company told me. The box smelled like body odor so bad I had to put it on the porch overnight and you could still smell where it had been on the carpet in our living room. I emailed Amazon customer service alerting them to all this and I've heard nothing back. Next time I buy at the store if I'm gonna wind up dealing with this garbage.

Just What I Needed
I bought this LCD a week ago and I have no complaints, it took a few days for the onscreen guide to get the lineup, but it is all good in my opinion. I think the remote is fine and put my hand on the screen and it is not hot or smelly or anything. I put my hand on many LCD's and Plasmas in Circuit City and they were all very warm. HDMI with my Onkyo upscaling to 1080p is excellent quality.
