    It was a Walmart Black Friday special. Everyone at Walmart on Thanksgiving between 6 and 7 pm could pick up a voucher. You then had until midnight to pay for the TV and it would be shipped to store no later than 12/24. They also had a few of them in stock at each store, but that is for the idiots who spent all day waiting in lines. I was in and out in 45 minutes, which included 15 minutes trying to find the guy with the vouchers, 15 minutes waiting in line to pay, and 15 minutes trying to get out of the gridlocked parking lot. This is the one I got: http://www.vizio.com/d650ib2.html

    Update for those keeping score....it's going back. When set on the 'standard' picture setting, the display would get darker and darker over a short time. If I flipped picture modes, it would brighten back up and
    start the same thing over again.

    ^ Just a bad one or a "feature"? Our Samsung TV adjust to ambient light but not like yours....

    Go in to the advanced settings. Mine was set to auto brightness out of the box, and I turned it off.

    There are some sits that have full blown setting lists done by professional installers for many TV models. When I went through the full pro settings (80+ adjustments) it made an unbelievable difference on our plasma.

    I did calibrate it according to several different sources. It's a software bug.

    Going back to my old stand-by....Sony.

    http://www.costco.com/Sony-60%22-108...100118422.html

    Same as the KDL-60W630B everyone else sells, but $100 cheaper at Costco.
