I bought this TV at Costco for $849.00. Easy to set up out of the box and easy to connect to my network. The picture is clear even though I have yet to watch HD. The Internet Apps provide instant information and still allow you to continue watching TV. Your network will automatically update the television and new apps when available. The apps act like a carousel at the bottom of the screen with the push of a button. You can even bookmark pages within apps to appear on your carousel (I have the weather for my city appear in the carousel). There are not a ton of Apps at this time…more to come. I have read that it will be an open source application…allowing people to develop their own apps, much like the IPhone.
The remote is bluetooth and has a full qwerty keyboard. The remote is universal and can sync with bluetooth devices and those with an infrared signal. The qwerty keyboard feels rubbery, but does the trick. There is even a spot on the keyboard that looks like a gamepad for future gaming apps.
You will need a High Speed internet connection in order to view streaming content on the TV. There are several different apps at this time that provide different services for streaming video, and they are all easy to access.
The requirements to stream.
SD: 1 Mbps
720p: 2.25 Mbps
1080p: 4.5 Mbps
For the price, you will not find a comparable TV with this many options. With this TV’s instant access to information, great picture quality, and bluetooth remote; this TV is the best Bang for your Buck.
Purchased this from Amazon on a preorder before it was released. It was definitely worth the wait! I set the TV up myself with the on screen step by step guide, even the wifi was very easy to setup, especially with the keypad on the remote! Great picture, even on an angle. Quite a few great apps with more to come. Very cool TV.
