Rated 100% by by Marty-Cloran (Dec, 2011)The setup was easy and quick using HDMI cables only and it interfaced seamlessly with the Panasonic sound bar that we had also ordered using only the HDMI cable and connecting it to the ARC compatible connection on the TV.
Rated 100% by by Miguel-Zaera (Mar, 2012)If you are looking for the best TV market definitely should get one of these, the image is as close to perfect there, vivid colors and 3D very exquisite, certainly value for money is incomparable.
