Hold your horses, I never said this TV is bad.
I honestly believe it has the least flaws compared to all other available brands.
And I know the crackle is driving you guys nuts but that's because you paid a ridiculous amount of money for this TV, as have I.
Your frustration is understandable but I personally don't see this as being a major flaw, at least not one that would put me off from buying it again.
I'm more disappointed by the lack of applications like HBO GO and AirPlay, or the lack of support for external subtitles.
Ah ok, so much more than me
You really do watch a lot of TV!
Then again, I've been on a 2 week vacation and then traveled with work so haven't really been around to watch it.
