My Experience: The unit is wall mounted and gives a very good picture, especially in HD. My son loves to play his PS2 on it. He is currently playing NCAA '07 on the set (or "The Big Field" as we call it when he and his friends are playing NCAA 07) Great picture for video. This set sits in the den and serves its purpose well. I did purchase the long term service contract to be safe.

Problems: We've had the Vizio since January, 2007. The picture does not always come on. We'll get sound, but no picture. You have to turn the set off and then back on again. Sometimes it seems the background noises/music overrides the characters speaking.
