"Serious design flaw in S5086W / S5686W / S6186W"
Pros: Good features & ergonomics
Cons: serious video design flaw
Summary: Got this set home and put it through its paces. Found that component input (R-G-B) input (supposedly highest quality analog in), has serious design issue causing misalignment of the three colors. Problem not evident with lower quality inputs (AV1/AV2/S-Video). Reproduced problem in sets at dealer as well. A test pattern input from component in, will make this issue obvious on vertical borders between red and green bars. Can also be seen by looking at the lettering on the far right of the default opening screen of 'Nemo' DVD, among others. It shows up as a green shadow of the letters to the left of where the letters should be. A very competant tech from Samsung confirmed this design flaw and said he will feed the info back to the factory. Will update this review if/when Samsung addresses the issue and issues a fix.

Did you try the HDMI input, was it better? I am currently using the component input connecting my digital cable box and see no problems with the picture. I have, however, ordered a DVI/HDMI cable to connect the cable box (DVI) to the HDMI input on the TV. This should provide me with the best picture.
