"Excellent Value for 1080p TV"

by moysauce on July 31, 2007

Pros: Great 1080p HD and SDTV output! Multiple HD inputs

Cons: Needs a bit darker black levels? otherwise none really
Summary: After reading all of the previous posts, i would like to skip the redundant content on them and go with my setup and thoughts on them.

Xbox 360 Connected to HD VGA cable - Output is excellent makes my upconverting DVDs seem like I don't need to make the jump to Blu Ray/HD-DVD. VGA connection supports up to 1080p.

Nintendo Wii - Connected Via aftermarket component cable - I see a huge boost in performance through the Legend of Zelda when set to 480p.

HD Cable connected via HDMI (Local Cable Provider) - My cable company outputs at 1080i and the HD content when certain channels choose to broadcast in HD looks great. Standard Definition at 480p looks good too but obviously not as good as 1080i.

Black levels could be better but that is expected with LCD technology. If one is that anal about black levels, than you should probably look for a really good plasma TV.

I did not see any blurryness that one user was talking about and i had really fast paced action movies playing (Matrix/V for Vendetta etc.)

Overall very happy as this is my first HDTV purchase. I think this is has the best price vs performance ratio on the market.

I have not tested the speakers on the TV as I have connected all devices to my AV receiver.

A great display for gaming. Gears of War looks phenomenal on this TV.
