    Pros: Incredible Picture

    Cons: More features

    Summary: Recently purchased this TV after noticing the incredible picture vs the other LCDs/plasmas at Best Buy. Replaced a 10 yr old rear projection Sony table top with this TV. Never had a problem with my other Sony. I was dumbfounded at the unbelievable picture. I hooked the cable directly to the built in HD TV tuner with a splitter running the other cable to the HD cable box and then used the HDMI output back to the TV. The Adelphia tech who installed the HD cable box could not believe the picture; he stated that it was one of the best he has ever seen!!! This config allows better cable signal strength for local HD cable channels. Once again, I was extremely impressed. Tweaked the color settings (preset settings are too bold) for video, HD-cable box and HD-DVD; making the results even more amazing. Bought the TV online for $2795 making it very affordable for a large LCD. The bottom line is that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this television; I cannot imagine a better picture out there!!!
