" ... Needed a small, flat screen TV for the Man-Cave and this unit had impressive specs and was the exact size for the location that I had in mind. ... "

Seems like its gives the best picture if you view it from way below which you probably never will be, and it looks a little blurry or whatever the term is when viewing it at eye level or from above Also there is no backlight setting, had to turn brightness and contrast all the way to zero which helped some but still would like to make it less bright. ...
