I've owned this model for over three years and never had a single complaint until recently, after moving, started having trouble getting it to power up. It wasn't jostled in the move, at all, but it was the first time in those three years when its power was interupted - that is, unplugged.It took five minutes of listening to it go "click ... click ... click" while trying to fully power up. Then, it was fine for two weeks until it was again unplugged. Since then, it usually comes right online, but other times can take anywhere from 5-20 minutes for the picture to come up.I would recommend this TV for people who are looking for a bargain on something decent, until HD prices come down more.Although the picture is great, its strength is in the audio. It delivers a much fuller sound than competitors in its class.
