"Great TV, some issues"
Pros: Beautiful blacks, good number of adjustments, HDMI 1.3, thin frame
Cons: No VGA input, no optical input
Summary: Ordered this TV from Vanns.com. Very good service with free shipping and excellent price.
Performance - startup time took about 30 seconds, so a little slow, but once turned on, it was definitely worth the wait. Right from the box, picture quality was very good with vibrant colors and very little blooming. Once I got to the adjustment menu, it was fairly easy to navigate, just not straightforward. Adjustments include Tint, brightness, contrast which were also specific to each input, meaning it would remember the settings for that particular input. A nice feature was Perfect Tint, which lets you adjust each color: yellow, green, magenta, red, and blue. If your device is connected through hdmi, sound can be output from the TV via a digital coaxial connection. The blacks really impressed, probably due to the Dark Detailer, almost looked like a LCD type of black. Rainbow effects were minimal and can only be viewed by me when looking at a still picture and moving my eye very quickly to the side. Color was very vibrant and whites were decent.
Cons - A little distortion with the sides curving up on the right and left, only noticeable when viewing a straight line that went accross the top of the screen. No adjustment in the menu for this, otherwise the adjustment options would have been perfect.
Overall a very nice TV with alot of bang for the buck.
