I'm completely happy with this purchase. The picture is absolutely stunning and incredible. I dont know how some of these peeps hear the "noise" cause I have never heard it. Most of my friends have Plasmas or LCD's and they love mine better. Remember this TV has 2 MILLION pixels. NOTHING on the market comes close, and for the money and size of the screen, you cant beat it. I purchased an extended warranty so I am covered. LOVE THIS TV!!
