There is a terrible problem with the green rendering on my set, both from digital cable, and fed from the Toshiba A35 HD-DVD player. There's an overall green cast and very bright green artifacts in shadows that is so annoying the TV's barely watchable.

On the other hand, the motion rendering is fantastic. 1080P at 24 frames/second looks really smooth as does 720P sports broadcasts.

Note Added Dec 2007: I finally had the set professionally color calibrated. Turns out both green and red are way off in this set's color space as shipped from the factory. The good news is that a combination of service menu settings and the excellent color/gamma controls in this set got it back in line and it's now amazing. I'd actually recommend getting any TV calibrated because the factory settings for all sets are way too bright and contrasty, which makes it basically impossible to do a side-by-side in a showroom.

My first HD TV. Hooking it up to a media PC is easy. Sound quality out of the built in speakers meets my needs. It has more than enough inputs. Picture quality from cable (non HD) has some noticeable pixelation when enlarged. The playback of DVDs is sharp. My only real complaint is its a little slow to turn on. Takes about 30 seconds from hitting the power button until it actually starts showing picture.

The color on this set is fantastic. CNET has their version of set-up
with the various menu settings. I tried this and found the color
muted. Using a solid blue screen on an info channel, I went thur
each menu item using my own preferences. I ended up with a vibrant
3D looking picture on HighDef channels (some 720i and some really
knockout 1080i). The standard def 420i look standard. Also bought
a Toshiba DVD recorder with 1080 upconvert. This unit makes standard
DVD's look quite good. I think the menu settings have no magic formula;
each has to set their own. I did not have the green problem mentioned in other reviews.

This fit my budget and made me happy. My PS3 games / bluray and cable hd content are astounding! I'm soo happy.
