I am extremely satisfied with this LCD TV. I have searched for and read all I could about the flat screen TVS. I am so impressed with the picture and sound quality, even though some of the reviews I read did not give this model the best reviews on sound quality and volume. All in all, the benefits for me are: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, can be carried by one person. Would definitely recommend this to my friends.
