We've had this TV for 2 1/2 years and last night it tried to burn our house down. It' was on most of the evening and around 10:30pm it started cracking and popping. The screen went black and blue elctrical arc and sparks shot out the back. There was a distinct smell of something burning. (Probably... Read full review »

This TV is a piece of crap. After two years green light started flashing then it would shut itself down. There's a reason GE stopped making TVs. Big disappointment. Read full review »

Cons Poor sound, one component input and component is only HD input.

I enjoy movies and television. I have a good sound system with a sunfire connected to paradigm speakers. So I was looking for a television to go along with this sound system. I was able to purchase this television for 900 dollars.
The picture quality isn't the quality of a pioneer elite but it... Read full review »

Pros Nice screen size for price paid.
Cons I'm beginning to think that it may be a fire hazard!!!!
Recommended it? No

I totally agree with Cherim224. We had our set for a little over 7 months when it started to crackle & throw sparks. The set would turn itself off and then on again, even when unplugged!! We purchased a PSP from the store we got the TV at and are still waiting to get the second part needed to... Read full review »

I purchased this GE 52inch HDTV exactly 3 years ago today. I recall about 6 months after getting it, my picture kept fading out but I figured it was the satellite dish causing problems...NOT! Now my TV has turned itself off (just like the movie Maximum Overdrive) I am not able to power it back on... Read full review »

Pros Great picture Good Hi-def Works great for gaming Has good controls
Cons Bad audio, but easily fixed with some surround sound.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a great television. Don't be fooled. I have had this set for well over 2 years. I haven't had a single problem. It's the greatest television I have. It's a bit weak on some color, but It's easily managable with the color adjustment, in the menu.

I use this to play my Xbox 360 on... Read full review »
