 Low cost, great quality. June 2, 2010

My brother just bought one of these, we hooked it up to my Blu-Ray player, it looks fantastic. Deep blacks and bright whites, with quick 120 Hz refresh. I am mostly writing this to counteract the other review left on this product that is not actually related to this producty, but rather one consumer's beef with Proscan. (look at the comments on Bob's Review) I called Proscan's customer support to ask about their warranty (wanted to ensure that it started the day my Bro bought it, not the manufacture date). Anyway, I think i might get one also, great value.
Excellent, best value I have found June 24, 2010

Purchased this unit in spite of Bob Gilbert's asinine "review"
Pros:
- VERY slim
- Unbelievably light for a 47" TV
- Easy to wall-mount
- Fantastic picture quality
- 120Hz refresh makes shows and movies come alive, it really does feel like you're watching it in the studio live
- 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio (i know, they kind of make up their own ways to measure that, but this TV has unparalleled color vibrance and good deep smooth blacks)
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Speakers are well above-par if you turn on the virtual surround in the menus. Still not comparable to a real surround sound system, but they are some of the best integrated speakers I have ever heard
- PRICE, oh god the price, it's incredible, I feel like I'm getting away with something naughty at this price
Cons:
- There is a bit of a delay from input device to screen output (about 1/2 of a second), so games kind of suck on this. I was really unable to play my xbox on this due to the lag
HOWEVER, this does not detract from the overall quality of the unit, for TV and movies, this thing is beyond incredible
- It would be nice if the capacitive buttons on it had a dim glow or something, I have to put my face about 3" away from them to see which is which and where to press
- It would also be nice if the buttons had some kind of tactile bump or something so you know when your finger is on it.. if it's dark in the room, it's impossible to use the buttons without a flashlight. Usually I use the remote though, so it's really not a deal breaker or anything
Other notes:
- I would recommend finding HDMI cables with very flat/slim connectors, as there is not much clearance back there where you plug them in. My "normal" HDMI cables had to have their connector kind of wiggled in there for them to plug in all the way, as the connector will press up against the back of the TV. Not really a CON, just something to be aware of
- If you wall mount this, you will either need longer VESA screws, or a mounting bracket that has recessed screw holes, as the mounting holes on the back of this are recessed, and the included screws will not be long enough for most standard VESA mounting kits with flat brackets.
Overall:
TV and Movies: Buy this NOW
Video games: Would not recommend for gaming, too much processing lag between signal and output
Robert Gilbert's review is moronic. This is an amazing set. June 19, 2010

This is the greatest bargain on a proper LED-LCD TV that can be found anywhere. I ordered my 42" for $650 from Walmart and the picture is beyond amazing. My only two gripes are the lousy speakers -although they sound slightly better in surround mode, but not much. My other gripe is that the hue/tint can not be adjusted when using the HDMI so things like the THX optimizer on certain blue ray disks cannot be adjust during the color/tint tint portion. But these are only minor gripes considering the unbeatable value that this TV represents.
Robert Gilbert's review is colossally stupid. He did not, nor has he ever owned this particular TV. There is no way he purchased this TV "a few years ago" because IT WASN'T EVEN AROUND FOR SALE "A FEW YEARS AGO". Please ignore this idiot's review.
Beautiful June 25, 2010

Short and sweet. Bought this for $756. Amazing picture for this price. Way brighter than the 40 and 42 inch lcd's I have. The 120hz makes a huge difference vs. the 60hz. It's like a liquid oil painting in 3d. I don't notice bad sound at all. Depends I guess how loud you turn it up. If you can nab one at this price grab do it.
 GREAT LED TV FOR THE MONEY July 2, 2010

WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THE TV THAT ARE ON THE MARKET FROM NAME BRANDS TO THE ALL SO RANS, THIS TV COMPETES WTIH THE BEST OF THEM! ALSO, YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE $649 FOR A LED TV WOW!!!
LIKE ALL THE OTHER REVIEWS THE SOUND QUIALTY IS ALL RIGHT, BUT USE A SOUND BAR AND YOU WILL BE FINE.
GREAT PICTURE AND IF AND WHEN I CAN SELL MY 42 INCH PROJECTOR TV I WILL BUY THE 47INCH FROM THE COMPANY (PROSCAN), I EVEN RECOMMENED THIS ONE TO A CO-WORKER WHO IS ALL SO BRAND SPICFIC.
