Strength:

Excellent picture; logistics of a FLAT screen

Weakness:

big and heavy

We've had this unit for about 8 months and we're very pleased with it. The picture is excellent--bright with good colors. Our bedroom has some oddly placed lights and a pretty low ceiling in exchange for lots of space. The flatness of the screen really helps avoid glare, and the tube's brightness (despite excellent black) overcomes ambient light nicely.

The unit is physically large (especially deep) and noticably heavier than units with similar specifications. This was a challenge for us since the location is quite cramped and slightly on the flimsy side, but we got it worked out in the end. I don't think we'd have noticed about the size/weight if we had just plunked it in the living room.

The sound is, well, TV sound. Maybe a bit better than average, but nothing to write home about. On the other hand, this is a TV, and for us, this is not where we watch DVDs/movies and the picture makes this set. Highly recommended--I've never seen any other set in this size/price class with a better picture.

Strength:

Great Picture

Weakness:

Same (offensive) buzz as documented throughout this review thread

After two returns I've given up on this set, I can't believe that a Wega class TV (even a lowly 20") could consistantly deliver such poor audio. A constant buzz/hum is heard even when the speakers are set to "off" unless the set is muted - one would expect that no change in audio from the set's speakers would result when changing the volume with the speakers set to off - but it does happen! It has a fantastic picture, but whenever the program material is silent I once again hear the HUM. Probably the best set out there for the hard of hearing (seriously - great picture).

Strength:

the picture is great!! easy to hookup playstation with front jacks.

Weakness:

it is so good that watching stuff on other tvs makes everything look dull and round.

I would not buy this tv again. i would buy the 32" model. the only thing i would like is an illuminated remote. otherwise this tv is fantastic.
