    More about Motionflow 120Hz

    • Motionflow 120Hz badge

  • Optimal Viewing Experience

    Various lighting conditions such as daylight, fluorescent lamps, or incandescent bulbs can impact your TV's picture making the images appear washed out or too bright. Ambient Sensor automatically detects the TV's color and brightness based on the room's lighting conditions, then adjusts the image accordingly so you get a natural looking picture.

    • Ambient Sensor

  • Your Presence Is Required

    If Elvis left the room, the EX710 would know. This HDTV has a Presence Sensor which detects if you've stepped away from your TV and automatically turns the picture off. If after 30 minutes, the sensor still doesn't detect movement in the room, the set turns off completely.

    • Presence Sensor

  • Flip the Switch to Save Power

    Did you know that most TVs consume power even when turned off? The EX710 is equipped with an Energy Saving Switch, which when flipped to the off position reduces power consumption of the TV to zero.

I upgraded to this model from the 46EX500 and i'm glad i did. I thought the set would have been too large for my 13 x 17 bedroom but i was wrong. i sit about 6 1/2 feet from my tv and the view is perfect. I didn't have to do much tweaking at all when i hooked it up the picture was perfect right out the box. The sound is questionable because some programs the sound is good and on other programs you have to turn it up. i would recommend getting small external speakers for that extra kick but, on a scale of 1-10 i would say the speakers are about a 7.5 This Model comes with the ambient sensor and the presence sensor, i turned both off personally because the ambient sensor makes the screen have a haze and once it is turned off it looks much clearer, and the presence sensor is not needed really because with this set you will hardly be away from it for that long.. The Appts are nice but if you really don't listen or watch the provided options now, then more than likely you won't bother to use them once you get it. Netflix is probably the only Appt that will be used to be honest and maybe one for the weather but these days your DVR can give appts and on demand movies so this is just extras really. Nice though but it wasn't the selling point for me. I have an Xbox360 for gaming and it really makes the experience much better. I always wanted a 50 inch HDTV for movies and gaming and this was a nice choice and it transfromed my room into a little mini theater because it don't look like a "tv" it looks more like a projector screen but better. I didnt get the 3D model because to be honest i don't like watching tv with glasses on. Nice feature but don't see the need for it really. This however is a nice looking model and so far i'm enjoying it very much.

great TV perfect for your home theater, seriously feels like a theater at home, backed with a bose surround system. problem with USB is that if you have the WIFI adaptor hooked up you need to remove it each time you want to connect other USB devices to view(camera,music etc) controlling volume requires a second remote, and cant figure out the TV remote with the comcast digital converter box, I need 3 remotes to operate the TV(bummer) overall very happy with TV thus far-4days old
