I wouldn't use one as my main television but it's perfect for a bedroom or outside.

Sounds like the old Kia deal. Buy two and replace with the second TV once the first one craps out.

My only issue so far has been the remote. The jewels fly off when I smack the battery cover.

Currently own one that is 4 years old. It is used in my son's room. No problems whatsoever.

bought the 60 last year. Been outside since then. there is a small line running down the screen now but can only be seen from close up. if i get 1 more year out of it outside, the 400 was worth it.

Had one outside for about 5 years - worked fine. Then some wasps built a nest behind it and my son sprayed wasp killer at them - Wasps AND TV went night night...

I leave it on 24 7 but i was out of town for the flood and the power flickered, with all the rain i believe some hit my back patio wall and got on the TV. not a bad line but i hope it doesnt get worse too quickly. I just want 2 years out of it.

It's a shite tv brand if you're looking for high quality picture. If you don't care about such things then ya, it's okay.

Those cheap brands are fine for putting outside or putting in rooms where the TV is rarely used, like most in this thread have said. Also, some people just aren't into TVs and tech in general, so if that's you then you wont notice the difference. More power to you. I used to not care until I bought my first Sony Bravia back in the day...then I couldn't go back. Sony and Samsung off the best picture and are the most expensive. 2nd tier is like LG, Sharp and maybe Visio (probably 3rd tier).

Yeah, I have a 50+" Panasonic plasma at home and it's incredible. Sony? I'll look into that.
