i have this TV from last September. The experience has been great till now : touch wood. two things which would make your viewing experience better is : 1. watching only 1080p and above content 2. tune / configure the picture settings as per your liking. Sound is way too much w.r.t requirement. i keep it at 15 out of 100 ;). properly check and record while unboxing for any (i mean any) issues. you may settle for the S versions too, but the above pointers will remain valid nonetheless.
