I have had my 46D82U for a couple of months now.

Initial fears about banding were put to rest when my 705 (serial #) worked like a charm.

I use this TV to watch 1080i over the air HD channels, play Nintendo Wii and watch movies on Toshiba A35 1080p.

1080i over the air look fabulous, Wii looks ok when stretched out to fit the screen, 1080p from my A35 looks very well, but I can't recognize the difference between that and 1080i HD channels with a sitting distance of about 9 feet.

I use the TV speakers only for playing Wii and they are sufficient. Anyone who is serious about TV watching should buy decent speakers, one good choice is Onkyo 908 (1,000 watts) for about eight hundred bucks, a cheaper alternative is Logitech 5500's (505 watts of power) for about two hundred fifty.

I bought Digital Video Essentials to make sure I have the proper calibration, some values had to be changed a little, some significantly. Overall result was a darker picture than before, but my amature eyes can't tell if it looks much better or not. This supposedly how it was "meant" to be seen by directors, what would I know?

I wall mounted it a couple of days ago. Here's a tip, DO NOT do it alone. My hands are still shaking just thinking about it.

I bought the mount that handles 36-50" screens (Peerless ST650P) and it worked great. Here's a hint: use the metal spacers unless you want the screws to fall out (manual says you don't need to...but trust me, I mounted the 42" and 46" Sharp TVs and the screws would barely hold).

Cleaning the screen: I use Monster ScreenClean. Yes, it is expensive. But after you use it, you can't tell that the screen was ever used before. Perfectly glossy surface with no dust, no streaks...nothing. I have used it on my laptop, my PC screen and TV, I have seen nothing better.

If you have any further questions, you can contact me at tkacle at hotmail dot com.

Overall this is an excellent TV and well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great picture, great sound... as long as you don't use "surround.", August 13, 2007

This tv is hanging on my wall, and it's fantastic for gaming, movies and tv. The OLC feature auto-dims the screen according to ambient lighting, which is very good on the eyes. The blacks are the darkest I've seen on an LCD, and the response is more than fast enough for intense gaming.

There are more than enough HDMI and component ports, however it lacks a DVI port. Not an issue in my case, but it may be bad for some. The sound is really good, so long as you don't use the "surround" feature, which bumps up the bass farther than the speakers can handle for some reason. I have since set up a receiver and 5.1 surround, so this doesn't really affect me. I recommend doing the same if you're looking at this tv.

All in all, great deal for the money.

After reviewing and searching for weeks, this TV came to the top of the list. For the money, this is the best TV. Invest in the 120hz refresh rate, it makes a huge difference for high speed scenes.
