1. I have not heard of the brand before, it is an off brand tv and quality and reliability are not that great. Even though the specs looks good on papers, it does not tell anything about the quality of the tv. Pioneer is the best Plasma money can buy in the market at a higher prices also, then Panasonic, Sumsang, Sony are the top rated tv in the market. Name brand tv's have better service support when you need them down the road than off brands that might not be around long. Let your own eyes and ears be the judge of any product you want to purchase.
2. Specs sound great on paper...but: 1. Price is suspiciously low for a TV of that size and capability. 2. I didn't even know Honeywell made TV's until just now! So the quality may be questionable. Not to mention I just saw that the maker of Honeywell's TV's is now filing for bankruptcy, so good luck if you have a problem with it...
