3.0 out of 5 stars a mixed bag, August 31, 2005

The LCD looks good. In the store it was next to a Sony at 1" smaller and 3x the price and I couldn't tell the difference. I've noticed no blurring or anything like that with fast action. Colors will have to be toned down from the default settings, but can be adjusted to look good.

Make sure you look over the settings, balance was set almost all the way to the right on my unit out of the box which seems like an odd default. Perhaps it was left there by the testing crew.

DVDs over YCrCb look great, DVDs played on an xbox over YPrPb have rainbox interference pattern, but I don't know if that's from the Xbox or a cable. Xbox games and especially ones that support 720p over the same YPrPb cable look amazing so I'm not sure what the problem is there. Satellite through the Super VHS recorder over SVideo also has the same pattern, but Satellite straight via svideo cable does not so that may be something external to the TV.

Zoom looks like it just doubles the picture size instead of making a 4x3 broadcast fill the screen as is described in the manual and most other HD monitors so it's not very useful.

There is a nice button on the remote to change input, but you often have to change aspect ratio at the same time so of course that is buried in a menu.

Sound is not bad for built in speakers.

Emails to support and customer service have gone unanswered.

I just resently got this product and so far it has been great. It was less expencive than a smaller name brand product and its picture looks the same. It is slightly pixlated on T.V. but for watching moives it looks like it could have come from a high quality name brand T.V. I think that this is a worrthy buy.
