Internet and tech review sites are full of hundred / one thousand unhappy customers who have problems with both HDMI ports (caused by vertical green lines to appear on a TV screen) and very happy to be wrong stamina, which not conveniently 14 months 24 months after the purchase (after 1 year warranty is up).

I have a TV that has two HDMI ports and the power supply not 16 months after purchase.

I am sure you have heard of all the free stuff that is given away on the internet all the time and how they are all scams, yes, a lot of them are, but there are also a lot of legitimate companies that are willing to give you rewards, such as a free Best Buy Gift Card, in exchange for your opinion. They do this through the use of surveys. They can then go and sell those surveys to other companies and make the money back they paid you plus plenty to keep for themselves.

I must admit that I am not a videophile years, I have also with traditional TV, so I'm not sure if my assessment is used very much for your readers. And sometimes that becomes their first HDTV usually enjoy, regardless of who the manufacturer, so it may be better to read the reviews of those who have (or had) a series of HDTVs (particularly from different manufacturers).
