I love her accent. The TV? Not so much.

She looks and sounds eerily like my organic lab partner.

That is a seriously hideous bit of kit.

2 things:
1. Will the quality be similar to other Ikea products?
2. Is the company aware that you can purchase any TV stand and it will also hide the wires? So all they have done is integrate a DVD player into the TV.

5 year warranty is nice but I still think a good old Samsung or the like is all thats needed.

Reminds me of visiting my Cousins in Sweden and their utilitarian wooden ugly ways of furniture.
No thanks-Sorry Bengt!

Seems like they have joined one of their existing, but modified TV stands with their own private-label wide screen. If competitively-priced w/their 5-year warranty, they will sell a bunch to their audience (the world). Them Swedes aren't dummies, although the company is controlled by a Dutch entity.

BTW, I hide the multitude of TV/audio cables behind a large PVC pipe, cut lengthwise and screwed to the wall. Cost: $1.00. Warranty: Lifetime.

I never understood the integrated components concept. I expect my TV to last more than 5 years. Surround sound takes at least 6 speakers to sound right, and some of them need to surround you not sit in front of you. If the DVD player dies do you just throw the entire TV away?

I will pass.
