However, it does offer its consumer two characteristics that aren’t normally found in other sets. One is the LCD screen, which is quickly becoming formidable competition for the much celebrated Plasma Tvs. The other is the two customizable fluorescent lights that light up the wall behind the set. These two characteristics may not seem like a great addition, but they can definitely add a lot of depth to your viewing experience.
