The Bottom Line:
"1080P" may be all the rage these days in the box stores but you can save some $ and you won't notice the difference with this 720 set.
I have had this set for about two months now and it is working great. The on board tuner will get all of my local channels in HD over standard cable. I have read a lot about burn in but I am here to tell you that it doesn't matter these days, at least with this set. Having said that, the factory default picture settings are WAY too high/bright. Someone may think it looks good at these settings but leaving your set this way may damage it. Be sure turn the settings down to at least the %50 mark. I was told that it is already discontinued to make way for their 1080p version. 1080p may be better but this set looks very good with the right source. 2 HDMI 2 component and 2 composite/svideo inputs round out your input selection. You may want a few more but this is enough to get by. If anyone has any specific questions just email me.
UPDATE
8 months later and I can tell you burn in is not a problem at all. I have see a bit of image retention that may last for about 5 min on screens that were left static for up to 45 min. Nothing that will ruin the set. I know that 1080p is the standard now but I don't think you will notice a difference or be disappointed in this set. The main things I do miss are. 1. No front or side input jacks. If you want to hook something up you need to get to the back.
2. No cable card. If you want more than the basic hi def channels on cable you will need to use their external decoder box. This is an extra charge and a pain since the set has a perfectly fine digital tuner.
