Over the weekend i picked this tv up for $399.99 from cusa and havnt opened the box yet. This sale was only for the 8th and 9th of this past weekend. now its $699.99 ive been tryin to find info/reviews all over the net about this tv and only see it in cusa with 3 user reviews which is not enough for me to open the box. I bought this tv for my bedroom. i want to play my xbox 360 on it when the wife hogs my 37" in the living room.
I also would like to watch movies from time to time on it while in bed. ive been hearing stuff about ati chipset causing ghosting and green tint on the 5 series model. This tv does have that chipset in it. ghosting is a no no for me and if this tv suffers from it its goin back to the store pronto. has anyone on here have experience with this tv? thnx in advance.
