My Experience: Enjoyed for about 50 hours now. Very impressive, very limited setup needed, calibrated with DVD Essentials, awaiting opportunity to get a blu ray version. Nice blacks, even brights. Smooth motion works nicely. Compared to Panasonic Viera x14 42", this picture, yes its 1080 vs 720, was quite superior especially for only 150$ difference @ Costco. Tons of inputs and HDMI connections. Variable audio RCA out, digital connections. Removal from the box was a breeze, this thing barely weighs anything, compared to the Samsung 42 it was replaceing, which weighed about 90 lbs, this is only 40 ish! Remote is basic, slippery and useless for additional programming. Albeit, easy to navigate, they kept buttons minimalized. DVD upconverted shows some flaws, BD is flawless. No pixelation noticed yet, hopefully it remains such! Stickers on front panel remove nicely to remove the word distractions! Overall impression: Great Value

Problems: Basic remote, no programming other remotes to it. Light weight, feels like there is nothing in it! Wobbly base allows top of TV to move quite a bit, could be sturdier and more firm. No other complains as of yet..
