"A real "sleeper" in the 2007 lineup"
Pros: Great resolution, intuitive controls, variety of connections
Cons: Slow channel change response, "soft" audio output
Summary: I've been shopping HDTVs for several months and the specs for this machine seemed tailor made for what I wanted. The original listed price seemed a bit high so I waited for a couple of weeks and a "Columbus Day" special had it for exactly 1000 under the listed retail price. Glad I waited and I'm very pleased with almost everything about this purchase. Setup was a snap, for most things the quick guide is all you need. I do think some additional speakers might be nice (but not necessary) because of our den's layout and the TV is in a bit of a recessed area causing some audio muffling. Some reviews have cited the glare resulting from the super shiny screen but this has not been a problem----that said, there is quite a lot of reflection when the set is off but negligible when on. There is a couple of seconds lag when changing channels, just enough to be slightly annoying but hardly enough to warrant a complaint. The shiny black piano case may be a problem for my wife since she says it will show every fingerprint and smudge---and since the kit includes a special cloth for cleaning that may be a valid concern. All in all, I consider this to be an excellent nucleus to build a home entertainment center around. I failed to mention that I live in a marginal cable area with occasional pixelating and frequent drops on my old CRT. So far this has not happened on this set---of course I did upgrade my cable box which may have helped. For the price I think this is a very good choice.
