Going from my trusty Sony tube 32" to this magnificent beast reminds me of switching from black and white TV to color; you will never go back after watching TV on this thing. I can actually see the puck on hockey games, so that opens up a whole new sport and viewing experience. I can not see any ghosting of high speed movement, both in football and hockey. So much for this year's hype on needing the new 120 Hz. models. I have used the Digital Essentials DVD to fine tune the picture to my viewing room. I am sure there are better 52" LEDs available, but not for $1,200 less than they sell for. If shopping, pick a couple TVs that you like, then use price alert or watch for one week sales to combine with reward/discount coupons.
