My Experience: Received this HDTV on 1/12/08. We have been using it daily for an average of 4+ hours per day. We only use an outdoors antenna that points to the signal source (Empire State building). The signal goes through the DVD/VCR and then to the TV. Its level with most stations is about 80. The image quality is great in 720 formats and 1080i. Never tried it with 1080p.

Problems: Three HD channels 5 (FOX), 7 (ABC) and 9 (WOR) present lip-sync problems. Other HD channels 2 (CBS, 4 (NBC), 11 , 13 (PBS) present no lip-sync problems. The Costco tech support person indicated that the problem is most likely with the transmitted signal since some channels are OK while others are not. Since I had no experience with other HD TVs, I was not sure whether this claim was correct or not. I think now that the TV most likely has the problem.
