"I have to admit I agonized over this purchase for an entire day this past weekend. On the left I had this Dynex tv (unadvertised special price $779) and on the right the Westinghouse and Insignia 42" 1080p's (sale and clearance priced at $949).

I was very concerned about how washed out the Dynex picture looked, but I knew I was looking at an analog signal, and had a hunch that the HDMI signal would be much improved based on earlier reviews here.

The Westinghouse and Insignia sets looked very good but not an extra $250 good.

In the end I went with my gut and grabbed the Dynex since I am using an xbox 360 as a media extender/dvd/hddvd/gaming system via HDMI, and WOW all I can say is SLEEPER DEAL OF THE CENTURY!

After a 12% off coupon I somehow managed to get away with using my final price was $685 O_o.

BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! This is a cheap set so I am counting on it breaking at some point. Warranty = new TV, so it's worth it to me.

However, if you are not using HDMI, I HIGHLY recommend the Insignia or Westinghouse sets since they looked great with an analog signal.

Westinghouse = smooth picture, Insignia = bright picture with better colors. If I could somehow combine the Westinghouse and Insignia pictures with the Dynex price I would buy 5 of those :-)"

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
