The Bottom Line:
Would bay again.
I had been eying this TV for a few months and finally bought it last week.
Out of the box it needs adjustment (but any TV would) to make it look the best it can be. When you do dial in the settings, the picture is gorgeous. It comes with a few burn-in reduction features that work very well. I have so far only had a tiny bit if image retention (not burn in) do to user error and it was remedied within 30 seconds of using the TV's "wipe" feature. I have watched a number of 2.35:1 DVD's and there is absolutely no problem with the black bars, so I would say don't use any sort of zoom and compromise the movie's framing!
HD looks stellar on this set, and it's obviously what it is made for. SD looks OK, better then most flat panels but not great my any means. My DVD player is not up-converting but it produces a very nice picture when hooked up through component cables. The Nintendo Wii looks pretty bad (component cables too). There is a lot of "stair-stepping" around edges, but the game play still far outweighs this drawback. Computer input is phenomenal as well. There is no ghosting anywhere and no "clay face" happening either.
The sound is pretty bad and I am in a small room. For any serious watching, get an external sound system. The TV is heavy too, but has a nice swivel stand that allows 30-ish degrees of rotation both ways. The TV's exterior looks stellar as well.
