"would be excellent.. but"
Pros: Great picture quality, 1080p on component inputs
Cons: HDMI doesn't work with hd-dvd player (HD-A20), requires unplugging once per week
Summary: I picked this tv up the day it came out and was happy for a while. I soon realized that the Toshiba HD-A20 does not work with this tv's HDMI inputs, which forces you to use component video, which is limited to 1080i, which defeats part of the purpose of getting a 1080p tv. I also found that this set will 'lock up' about once a week and require me to pull the power cable to get it to become responsive again.
The video quality is great however. If only there was a firmware update to fix the hdmi and power/lockup issues I could highly recommend it to others.

My Westinghouse has also experienced this issue. In fact, it's happened twice today.
The monitor is only 2 weeks old. I will be exchanging through Best Buy.
I paid $1099 and purchased the extended warranty.
The HD signal provided by Comcast is outstanding. The Standard Definition will always be just that and you should never expect a stellar image in SD.
I would recommend this purchase unless you can afford the extra 1K+ for the SONY. -
I also have this tv and dont have any lock up issues. I have not used the hdmi on this tv however so I cant comment on that, But I believe your Tv might be faulty and I think you should try to exchange it or call customer support.
