The Bottom Line:
Excellent picture, excellent built-in sound, component video input and progressive scan input, HDTV support...what more could you ask for?
Combine this wonderful HDTV with a progressive scan capable DVD player and a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround System and you'll have yourself a mind-blowing home theatre system that will bring you no end of enjoyment if you're a movie buff like me.
Like most HDTVs currently on the market, this one doesn't come with a tuner built in, but that's a good thing. HDTV tuner standards haven't been nailed down yet, so you wouldn't want to buy a big expensive TV like this only to find out months later that the built-in tuner is obsolete. In any case, you can get an external tuner for a few hundred bucks and hook it right up, and you'll be set. Ideally, though, you should wait a year or two until they finalize the specs, then buy the tuner. In the meantime, you can enjoy watching mind-blowingly high-quality DVDs on this TV.
Picture quality is excellent on this thing, and I can't stress enough the necessity of getting a DVD player capable of true progressive scan output. Not just component output -- be sure the DVD player supports progressive scan. Remember those key words: "progressive scan". You'll be much happier despite the slightly higher cost, I guarantee you.
Sound quality is right up there with picture quality, even on the built-in speakers. If you'd rather not spring for a receiver and external speakers right now, don't worry; the built-in speakers are excellent, and the TV even has a built-in "Virtual Surround-Sound" option which, while not as realistic as an actual surround sound system, does an admirable job of simulating one with the two built-in speakers. A word of advice: For premium sound reproduction, go to the onscreen audio menu, specify Virtual Surround-Sound, and then jack the treble up all the way and bring the bass up to about 75% (more if you prefer...but too much can be annoying at times). Action sequences and sweeping soundtracks will sound amazing.
The onscreen menu system in this television is very easy to use and extremely professional-looking. The manual isn't really necessary at all, although it is well-written and helpful if you need it.
All in all, I'm extremely happy with this television. It's made my movie-watching experience more wonderful than ever, and I've never had a single complaint.
