Straight out of the box this television looks amazing. It doesn't need many adjustments before it displays an excellent picture although it does have a nice list of predesigned color choices for different settings. The sounds isn't amazing but if you're getting a tv like this you probably have or will have a surround sound system; why have a full HD picture and simply opt for the most basic of sound delivery. Subtracting the difficulty this LCD has with producing black levels in the range of Sharp Aquos or other higher end LCDs, it is possibly one of the best deals you can get for a 1080p television of this quality.
