I expected to be bothered by it, but it's not bad at all. In fact, it's better than my old CRT (9 years old).  It, of course, can't compare to the hi-def picture, but it's completely watchable.<br/><br/>You really can't go wrong with this set--it has a 2-year warranty and the price is very competitive for a 1080p set. If you're a real stickler, simply have to have the best out there, and money is no object, then check out the high-end Pioneers. In my opinion, though, it's not worth shelling out the extra bucks for a difference......

It was half-price with free shipping so I figured I didn't have much to lose. I wasn't expecting much and was SO pleasantly surprised! It's easy to apply--the brush makes it easy to coat every lash, even the little ones in the inside corner. And it truly lengthens my lashes--more than any mascara I've ever used.  <br/><br/>I've tried those 2-step mascaras and, besides being a pain to use, I found they didn't do any more for me than other mascaras.  I've been using Loreal's Voluminous for a few years now because it made my lashes stand out the most and very thick. However, the brush gets gunky and it's difficult to reach every lash without smudging.  I find this Avon mascara lengthens much better and defines each lash with no clumping or smudging.<br/><br/>Love it!  I recommend everyone give it a try---and what a bargain!<br/>...
