This is a pretty good TV. Image quality is excellent, but keep in mind that as with all LCD’s a little distortion in signal quality causes a lot of problems. I believe that is normal. It is edge-lit, therefore it’s very slim and relatively light. It has a sleek design. HX700 looks more charming but that’s only if you are willing to pay a few more hundred dollars for the looks and a few non-essential stuff. One problem is that it takes some time to power up. During that time you can’t use the menu which sometimes causes inconvenience. But nothing serious. Another issue is that sometimes if you turn the TV off completely(-not standby-) then you lose time and date information and next time you turn it on you have to reenter that information. I don’t know why that is the case, but I think that is the main issue that bothers me. Presence sensor is not essential but awesome. When you leave the room it turns of the screen but not the audio so that you can continue to listen what is being said. When you return it automatically turns on the screen. I also connect my laptop to the TV -the desktop looks huge- to watch movies. I use a simple VGA cable and it works very well. Overall this is a good product.
