LW6500 by J.-Hensel (Jun, 2011)Considering how thin this TV is, the sound quality produced by it is quite good.

LW6500 by cabinfever (Feb, 2012)There are so many ways to tweak this set that everyone should be able to get what they need or expect in a television set; crystal clear, crisp picture with the darkest blacks and brilliant colors.
LM6200 by Lor-Pen--Lor (Jun, 2012)The picture is so clear and sharp, and the flesh tone (which is what I base my true colors on) is realistic.
