  CCFL backlit and not LED, but still it's a very compelling price. Power consumption is good for CCFL. Unlike most other TVs in its price range it does have a proper games mode for reducing input lag. The recently posted BigW 50" LCD for $498 doesn't.

  Viewing angle on specifications tab is reported as 89 degrees which is quite shocking unless it is actually half-angle from normal to the screen plane.

  Also 50Hz only.

    "50Hz only" is that a problem?

      Not one little bit, I have an older version of this model and it is fantastic, and for the price you can't go wrong.

      Go to your nearest TV store and ask them to show you TVs with 100Hz vs 50Hz ones (I found JB Hi-Fi stuff very helpful in this regard), and decide for yourself.

      I know that personally I won't be buying any 50Hz LCD TV in the future.

        Don't they just play blue ray discs in store?
        I will mainly be watching free to air broadcasts which correct me if i am wrong the sd channels broadcasts are 50Hz.

    60Hz is for the North American ones. No doubt the local versions use 50Hz panels.
