and its better than the Vizio LCD that is a couple years newer.
Its a 42. Does fine in a room with light..has about as good a viewing angle as you can get...but I don't have to deal with that much..as mine also has a remote control swivel stand...so the set faces me no matter which seat I'm in :-)
I understand the kids and remotes comments...as I have tape holding in the batteries on nearly all of them. What happened to the battery covers??? My son.
It does generate quite a bit of heat.
