After only one week, I can say this is the most awesome tv I have ever bought. The picture is crystal clear with my HD programming from DISH network and the HDMI picture from my cheap Sony 'Upscaling' DVD player is equally impressive. Regular 480i is really good too. Adjust the picture settings a little out of the box and this is as beautiful a picture as I have seen from Pioneer, Sony or anything else in it's class. I can't wait to get a Blu-Ray player after I pay this off in a couple of months. After waiting 2 weeks for it to ship from TVCity, I struggled with my local Best Buy and they sold it for the same 'out the door' price as long as I bought their extended warranty - which I wanted with a plasma screen tv anyway - and paid $50 more for delivery. But WOW It was worth it!
