"Standard DVD viewers beware"
Pros: Great picture overall
Cons: BAD DVD quality
Summary: Not being a noobie to this type of technology, I can say that this TV is great overall...Please read the reviews on the 50 inch version (TH-50PZ800U) for how this TV will do. HOWEVER, that being said, anyone wishing to watch standard DVD's on this set...no matter what type of player you use, upscaling or not....will be sorely disappointed. Standard Def DVD's look so bad I would rather watch them on a 7 inch portable player...yeah its that bad. One of the tradeoffs of having a big screen. Just a warning. Blu-Ray and High def content of course look great.
Updated on Mar 4, 2009As an update - I wished to add that I did not stop trying to figure out what was going on with the DVD quality...It was the particular DVD's I had. Two purchased DVD's I had were apparently bad transfers, or at the least partly compressed somehow. After borrowing a friends DVD of the same title it looked just fine....as did several other premium titles in my collection. It seems that I got a mass produced DVD that was shrunk and resized somehow and looked terrible. All is good now....wish I could chnage the title of my review....but hey...thats what updates are for.
