I agree back in December my grandfather died and left me his. It was only about 6 mos. old, anyway its set up in my living room and quite frankly I hardly notice it. I'd probably be just as happy with my old 27" t.v and the same old Kenwood I got back in college. On the other hand if I hadn't inherited this one I would probably be shopping them, and eventualy purchased one, which in hindsight would have been a waste of money. IMO
