I looked at many TV's for months. I was convinced I'd be buying a Sony, Samsung or LG TV, from somewhere. I went to Costco one day to "look" at their TV's again and saw this Philips TV at $1399 (without any rebates) and bought it as I was impressed with the picture. The ironic thing was Philips was not even a name I ever considered. Now as far as my testimonial on this TV, first off, for the money I couldn't touch it with a Sony, Samsung or LG much less any other brand. I am very happy with the quality of the picture and the sound as well. One thing it lacks is PIP, but when I had that feature on my last TV I never used it anyway. I am not sure why others out there are seeing $1799 with a $400 rebate from Costco. I do know the one I bought was the last one, perhaps that had something to do with it. But regardless of the price, I would recommend this TV. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being best) I'd give it a 9. Only reason it's not a 10 is because I do have one knock, as I change channels there is a delay. But perhaps that is due to my satellite box, I am not sure yet.
