Price Paid:  $1600.00 from Sears

Summary:
Worked great for the first few days. Then the TV would would not recognize the remote. Sears had someone come and fix it. Works perfect again. Great TV! Better than the Sony. It was a toss up between this and the Hitachi. Easy to use remote with nightlite feature.

Strengths:
Programmable remote. Fast enough for video games.

Weaknesses:
No sleep timer. Cannot leave the TV volume as adjustable if you turn off speakers.
