Summary: GREAT HD PICTURE POOR ANALOG AND DVD
Review: I bought this TV with great expectations. The HD channels are just plain spectacular. Especially live sports.

The lower channels have a poor picture. It was far better on my old 4:3 HD CRT set.

DVD is also noticeably worse. I use quality cables, and a Denon upconverting player, with a HDMI connection.

This is not what I expected. The place where I bought said that this is generally true. That's why when you go into a store, they are connected to a preprogrammed HD connections, so you see it at it's best.

To Darren...It's not at all unfair..I didn't expect the analog and DVD's to be as good as high definition, but I did expect the picture to be at least as good as on my old conventional set.

Lastly, be aware, even the high definition channels don't always broadcast in hi def, in fact most broadcast less than 50%, leaving you with a fair picture. Again, the hi definition when broadcast is exactly what Darren says, spectacular.

Summary: Great HD TV for the price
Review: The previous review is accurate but a bit unfair. You cannot expect a High Definition TV to deliver high definition quality picture to television broadcasts or other input sources like DVD when those sources do not offer high definition resolution.

For broadcasts which are offered in high definition, the color and clarity of image produced is spectacular. Some people who have seen programs on this set assume it's a plasma and are surprised to hear that it's not. Some have even said certain programs appear to have a 3-d quality. The quality of the HD is that good.

Of course, the exterior is not as thin as a plasma set however for the size of the television, it's still thinner than most units.

Overall, this is a great HD unit for the price. If you are not willing to spend the extra cash on a plasma set but want a great HD picture, this unit will meet your needs.
