          As long as you still get the manufacturer's warranty with it.

            I'm thinking I may pick it up as an up-step to something better later...has to to be a little better than we have now and we just continue to use the XBOX One as our media center.

              All the reviews I've read say that LG LCD panels have horrible color reproduction. Samsung and Vizio are significantly better.

                Unless you have the new version of the Xbox One that supports 4K, if you don't have another source, the 4K will not be used.

                      I was being sarcastic - referencing the Samsung Phone issues...

                        well with things like the red ring of death on the Xbox, you never know. But google quickly pointed me to the phones and well I put 2 and two together... 😉

                          We have a 50" LG and a 60" Samsung. The color isn't bad on the LG, except it loses some resolution on dark shots. Nowhere near as badly as the 40" Sanyo did, but dark sections tend to get a little blotchy. The Samsung's color is better, but it's also a year or two newer.

                            I have an LG 37" 1080p hosplatility grade tv that is probably from 2010. I ordered one of these now and I'm picking it up from best buy this evening.

                              60Hz refresh rate. That you will notice if you're a sports fan. There will be a blur that follows any fast moving object. Gets annoying real fast.

                              Can't find any information about its color depth. If it's 8 bit you'll really notice it in 4k where color banding is evident (because it can't reproduce enough colors to make up the gradients). Look for a 12 bit capable TV. It's HDR which is a better color reproducing engine but HDR with low bit depth isn't good at all.

                              I also can't find any info on whether it is edge lit or if it has multi zoned LED. The multi zoned LEDs will give you much truer blacks and you won't have that washed out effect from light bleeding.

                              This looks like a nice entry level TV at this size, but emphasize entry level.

                                No shows broadcast even at 60, let alone above it. THe human eye can't see 60Hz. No issues there.

                                  At that price it's definitely edge lit.

                                  Even my $2k Samsung is edge lite, I'm pretty sure.. damn now I need to go look.

                                    I don't buy this.

                                    Back on the day I would get headaches on a 60hz monitor, bump it to 70, headaches gone.

                                      @scottalanmiller Hey Scott. When you've actually seen the visual artifacts introduced by objects on screen on a 60Hz tv then come back and tell me. Everyone who's ever owned one of these at 60Hz will tell you about it.

                                      Btw has nothing to do with the human eye seeing at 60Hz lol. Don't remember saying that in my post.

                                        My old sharp LCD I think was 60Hz and I didn't have artifacts issues that weren't on the broadcast side.

                                          I've got a 60" Visio C55-V2. They quit making that model, and I don't know what the replacement is, but it was the best price/picture quality around. I generally check www.avforums.com before buying any home entertainment equipment.

                                            those artificats are caused by interlaced video more than anything else.
