Pros: Image quality was great when it worked.

Cons: About 3 minutes after starting up it would flake out and alternate between full screens of magenta, cyan, and black while making horrible noises. Had to return it to Costco.

Review: This TV had problems from the moment I set it up. See my comments under bad points. When it worked, the HD image was perfect. I should have known when it flaked during setup. However, I thought it might be the HD cable box. I tried the firmware upgrade to no avail.
