My Experience: I bought on black friday but return it next day for exchange. problem was, it will not store stereo setting in the monitor. every time you turn off the monitor, your sound setting will show stereo but sound comes from one speaker only. then if you go to menu and choose stereo, you get stereo sound. it happens every time you turn the tv off and on. this is a real problem.
second problem, if you connect sound output to your theater system, you get only one speaker sound from your theater system. I tried it to my old tv which gives very good theater sound but when you change those audio outputs to external speaker system on mx42vm11 , you only get one speaker output.
this is also a big problem because monitor itself has very lousy sound.
so, my experience with this tv not good.
I have already exchanged one time and when new repalcement of monitor came, it has same problem. exactly same, lousy stereo sound when you turn off and on the tv and then you dont get one speaker sound when connected to output for theater system.
please watch, new buyers. let me know if you have same problem. Anyway, I am going to return it and try third monitor to see if this whole lot of monitor is bad.
i bought it from best buy.

Problems: poor quality sound, sound output signal problem just give you one speaker sound on your theater system. Also, it will not store stereo sound in its memory. please watch it!
thanks
