My Experience: I can't believe how amazing the picture is! I am running Monster Cable component cables from my DVD player and everything is plugged into a Monster Cable PowerCenter HTS 2000 MKII.
The menu gives you plenty of options to fine tune your TV, so if the picture is only so-so out of the box (like mine) then just take the time to go through the menu and adjust to your liking. Grab a DVD that doesn't have tons of action and will give you long scenes (I had to put in Field of Dreams to get the greens and blues just right). Check out Monster Cable's HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD for a walk-thru calibration anyone can do.
I have NOT noticed any ghosting, lag or pixelation with this TV. The screen is bright (adjustable) and crisp.
The remote is as barebones as it gets, but then again, you are building a home theater, so why not get a nice universal remote?
Problems: My TV was dropped down a flight of stairs AND IT STILL WORKS! No other problems at this time.
