Perfect
Pros: Just amazing! I'm using it as a computer monitor and as long as you get your desktop resolution to the native resolution this looks perfect. I was afraid of having a hard time seeing text and games not playing well. But I have to say I am extremely please with my purchase of this. I was lucky enough to get this bad boy for only $549 also from newegg when it was on sale over christmas with a $50 coupon on it. I just couldnt pass up the deal and I'm so glad I didnt.
Cons: NONE
Other Thoughts: I love you newegg <3

Excellent use as a PC Monitor too!
Pros: First HDTV owned. I think this has a BETTER picture. Great picture all around. No dead pixels. VERY bright. Almost blinding :P I've noticed zero ghosting while playing everything from GTA:SA, UT2004, and 'old-system' emulation, even at high speeds! Great all around TV.
Cons: It does need another HDMI input. No DVI input. The remote is junk, I won't lie on that. It has poor, very limited 'universal' function. Optical output somewhat flakey, and it DOES NOT pipe HDMI audio out via optical. So you'll have to use the optical output on your HD Box.
Other Thoughts: The buttons ARE on the top of the unit. Not a great design in my opinion. But it doesn't bother me as I use a universal remote. It does tend to get a little warm after a couple of hours. Despite it's few shortcomings, a very good priced and quality TV. Its pros outweigh its cons tenfold.

Blows me away!
Pros: Amazing picture in a dark room and equally amazing in a lighted room. No ghosting. HD-DVD looks absolutely incredible on it. I got this to be dorm size and I wish I could've gone bigger but this is definitely fine for me. Videogames look amazing on this TV. Never seen anything so sharp. My DVI to HDMI connection looks great too. Pixel by pixel makes it a great monitor. This set has vivid color and incredible sharpness. A very low priced TV for all it has going for it. I highly recommend it to anyone!
Cons: Only 2 HDMI ports. Regular cable is just decent but this is an HDTV at 16:9 aspect ratio. I'm very audibly and visually picky and I have nothing negative to say about the HD picture.
Other Thoughts: I got this for 850 at BB through DirectTv installation rebate. I would've paid much more though since it's worth it!

Great TV, Bad NewEgg Experience
Pros: Great looking picture, stylish set. I saw this in a local store and had to have it for the Super Bowl, so I used my Preferred Account here on NewEgg to get it now since I'm still a little broke from Christmas.
Cons: I order this tuesday night, this TV has free 3 day shipping but I only had thursday off, so I paid about $140 for overnight UPS shipping. It shipped out on Wednesday and was scheduled to arrive Thursday. It never came and after speaking with tons of people at UPS, even at 10PM at night they said "Oh, well sometimes the drivers are out till 11, its coming". At 11:30 they finally admitted it wasn't coming. I took off work today to receive it since the tracking said it was rescheduled for 1/25. UPS told me it'd be here by 3, at 3 I called and said it'd be here by 5.
Long story short, package is lost, and it'll take 10 business days to receive a refund. This mean I won't have an HDTV for the Superbowl.
Other Thoughts: I know this is technically UPS' fault and not NewEgg's, but NewEgg is ultimately responsible for making sure we get what we order and when we ordered it. I never had a single problem when FedEx was the default carrier, and it was NewEgg who chose to switch, which has resulted in disgruntled customers receiving damaged packages, or in my case none at all.

Top of the Line
Pros: I really can't say enough! HD is wonderful on this baby. I got this TV for 800 bucks (not Newegg) and it was worth the extra money. 1080p was worth it and the image from my Xbox 360 in 1080p is superb. Works great as a pc monitor at 1360 by 768.
Cons: I'm finally getting used to this bizarre remote, its not that bad, but ya Sharp could have done better.
Other Thoughts: I bought a 16ft DVI-HDMI cable on Newegg for less than $20. No need for DVI input. Not sure why the GP1U is that much better. Overall this is what I decided on after a lot of research!

Amazing TV
Pros: 1080p for under a grand. Excellent picture and color when adjusted to your liking. The built-in speakers are get the job done well enough. My xbox360 looks amazing on it.
Cons: Regular broadcast television looks bad. I stretch out the picture, which helps somewhat. Definitely recommend getting HD service with the TV.
Other Thoughts: I order in the morning it was there the next with no dead pixels or other problems. Remote has a backlight.

Pros: Absolutely amazing vibrant colors, easy to setup the stand with the included tool and screws, solid construction. Perfect for standard HDTV usage as well as functioning as a monitor.
Cons: 480 upscaling is better on other brands that I've seen but I only watch HD channels so its no big deal for me.
Other Thoughts: Great price.

Very Surprised
Pros: A Top of the line T.V. for 32in After Rebate a price of 899.00 Is A steal. Aquos Does not Dissapoint
Cons: Neweggs Bulk Return Policy is th only reason I was scared at first to purchase this t.v. Electronics are fragile and so are your bank accounts. Best to go the safe route. Retail tax will cost you more than one Day Air shipping and you will get it next day all nice a neat.
Other Thoughts: Ive learned that you can truly put your trust in the reputation that Newedd has made for itself and assure your recieving the same products as retail at a fraction of the cost.

Great Picture
Pros: Full HD, very stury stand, and overall nice look. Also does 1080P through the component.
Cons: When I got the tv I looked it over and after some searching I found 1 dead pixel in the top right of the screen and there is no DVI port
Other Thoughts: Wish I hadn't found the pixel because now everytime im watching tv my eyes get drawn to the pixel.

First HDTV
Pros: Very easy to hook up. Light weight. A pleasure to install. Sound is good too. Awesome picture. Would recommend to replace any old large TV
Cons: Wish I had ordered the larger size, Which caries a much larger price.
Other Thoughts: Excellent value and quality.

I love this tv!!
Pros: THIS TV IS AMAZING! this was my first lcd hi-def tv purchase and I don't regret it at all. The HD picture is UNBELIEVABLE, when I play PS3 on this tv the graphics are out of this world. It also has all the necessary inputs and outputs to fit all your electronic needs. 10 out of 10!!
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: The remote is fine, I don't see why people are complaining.

I'M SURPRISED!
Pros: Very watchable DVD images in both 480i and 1080i conversion. Outstanding tuner using a rabbit ear antenna. HD DVD images fantastic! Lighted remote. Easy to get at connection locations.
Cons: A bit more gainy than Samsung's 40" 1080P, black levels not as good. (32" was my maximum size limit). Uneven backlighting (left side is brigher than the right side), but most wouldn't notice this.
Other Thoughts: My first HDTV, and 1st time I could afford one! I'm a bit of a video nut and decided to spend the extra $xxx through newegg and got a 1080p monitor, money well spent! I live where cable TV and Dish Network isn't, near Salt Lake City. I didn't expect much from the tuner. But I'm shocked by the performance of this set's tuner through just a rabbit ear antenna! I'm actually getting true HDTV with just a rabbit ear antenna, amazing! I felt that it was important to set my video equipment standards by getting a true 1080p, and this Sharp delivers!

Excellent for the Price
Pros: Nice design, price, 1080p, bright, nice color.
Cons: No DVI input for computer hook-up, but not a big deal with an HDMI to DVI cable.
Other Thoughts: I use it as a computer monitor, and I haven't noticed any ghosting at all so far. I would recommend at least a 8800gts for this resolution, but even then it's a little low on the fps if any aa is turned on. There's a very slight grainy appearance if you view it too closely, but from a few feet away it's beautiful. Mine came in perfect condition, no dead pixles, and very nice visually, so I have no complaints. I shopped dozens of sights for better quality/price, and it's not to be found. I could definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a smaller 1080p HDTV.

Aquos 32"
Pros: This T.V. is very bright and crisp and presents all pictures with an excellent quality. I have watched HD DVDs on this and it is amazing. I only have regular cable, no HD, and it looks so much better than my old Standard Television. The brightness of the picture is probably the reason I am so impressed. The settings can be adjusted to your room setup and this makes the television very convienent. I really love this t.v.!
Cons: There were no stuck or dead pixels for about a week and a half and then I noticed one stuck pixel on red. Then a couple of more, and now about 6 total stuck pixels, no dead ones, which is nice. You only notice if you are right up on top of the t.v. You have to look for them to notice and it does not affect the quality of the picture if you are viewing from a normal distance. (more than 5 feet) This is the only reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5. Overall though, I really do love this t.v.

One of the best TV's I have owned.
Pros: Picture clearity, design, ease of use, weight,viewing angle
Cons: remote is delicate, sound isnt as good as it could be
Other Thoughts: This is seriously one of the best investments for a TV you can find if you are in the market for something that is a nice size for a bed room or for gaming. The picutre is awesome, setup was a breeze, and not only that but viewing angles on LCD's are so amazing it shouldn't even be listed. If you are looking for something that will last you a long time and make take your tv,movie, and gaming to the next level this is the tv to get.
One thing to New Egg please get rid of UPS as a carrier then messed up my TV with a 7" gash in the box , and subsequently in the TV so I had to send it back to be RMA'd.

My first HD TV LCD experience
Pros: Amazing picture, especially HD from about 10 feet while lying in bed. Stays nice and cool. Very bright picture - all of the visual settings are easily adjusted. Once again Newegg + UPS don't disappoint, and absolutely wonderful buying experience.
Cons: Brand new, out of the box, about 8 stuck/dead pixels scattered throughout the panel. I expected better for a TV that costs this much. The good part though is that the imperfections are impossible to see unless you are about 1 foot away.
Other Thoughts: Would buy again but would probably pay the extra 40% for the 42" panel now. Built-in speakers are lame, do yourself a favor a pair this TV with a set of nice 5.1/7.1 speakers.

Excellent.
Pros: excellent picture quality, easy controls, many many a/v inputs to choose and utilize from, and best of all 1080p! I bundled this with an upscaling dvd player and its currently playing all my Simpsons in nearly crisp hd quality (you wouldnt notice unless you had your head stuck up on the tv screen)
Cons: no picture in picture and no dvi input :(
Other Thoughts: i haven't had the chance to try out my 360 yet, but it's eaten alive everything i've thrown at it so far. definitely worth the price.

The Best in its Class
Pros: This is a really good LCD TV. It has an awesome picture and can accommodate almost anything you would like to connect to it. This LCD TV replaced a 26" Samsung. One of the things that I noticed was the Sharp has a universal remote where the Samsung did not. I paid about $1200 for the Samsung and you would think you would have a good remote. The Sharp cost alot less thanks to Newegg. Other things that I noticed were the picture on the sharp shows hardly any graininess like other LCDTV's. The Sharp can also do 1080P, which I don’t think you can find in another TV this size. It was priced better and is a great buy. If you are looking for a 32" or 37" then these LCDTV should be the way to go.
Cons: I dont understand why are there no VGA or DVI inputs, and why did they put controls on the top and not the side or bottom. I hope that anyone who has this mounted on the wall doesnt lose their remote.
Other Thoughts: I wasn’t too thrilled to find that Newegg will not give rain checks. When I was interested in buying this LCD, I was supposed to get free shipping which I did, but I did not get the free DVD player that they were offering. Newegg says this is because they ran out of DVD players so they had to close the deal. They were supposed to do this until 9/15/07 and they did not say only if we don’t run out. They should give rain checks in cases like those.

Amazing
Pros: Great picture! Black finish looks awesome. I had old CRT TV's for many years and this is the first LCD I've bought. It is well worth the money I spent on newegg. Now I can see what the HDTV hype is all about. I basically only watch movies/Netflix (the TV will do the DVD upconverting, no need for a new DVD player) and my 8 HD channels. I'll never go back. HD or nothing.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: Sound is a little lacking, but not a problem at all. I was a little worried about dead pixels from some of the thousands of reviews I read when selecting a new TV, but the picture is great. Took 10 minutes to setup and receive my digital and HDTV signals. Spent 2 hours manually flipping through the upper channel ranges to find the digital and HDTV signals, but that's the price you pay for buying just Basic Cable.

Great
Pros: Great quality, much better than some other 1080p LCD's currently on the market. Great Price for a top brand.
Cons: Sound is lacking, which is easily solved with surround sound speakers. Remote feels like it is going to break in your hand.
Other Thoughts: Dark, you do not have a high understanding of this technology if you dont know that cables can be used to connect your computer to the tv. Really, research before you give a great product such a bad rating for your low knowledge.

Beautiful picture !
Pros: Absolutely beautiful,crisp,clear picture with deep,rich color. The stand is really hefty,not going to tip this set over. 6 ms response time and 1920x1080 resolution is great for gaming.
Cons: none really,except the price.
Other Thoughts: I've played alot of computer games on this thing,[ I bought it for a computer monitor,not a tv.}, and noticed VERY little to no ghosting in FEAR,BIOSHOCK,ect. All my games look great on this thing. I paid 300 more dollars for this at a local electronic store simply because I refuse to fork out over a grand on something I can't return if defective. Newegg's 'bulk item return policy' really stinks!

My new computer monitor.
Pros: HUGE! Gotta love not straining my eyes to see small fonts, not having to lean forward on my desk to see around the next corner while driving, being able to sit back and relax while I work. Some complain the dot pitch is not tight enough, their problem is they are sitting too close. This thing is beautiful! Also - ZERO DEAD PIXELS - Makes me happy!
Cons: None! So far ;)
Other Thoughts: Check out my gallery!

very sharp
Pros: PIcture is great, 2 HDMI, no dead pix *crosses fingers* so far
Cons: Price was a little high when I bought this but price has come down some since then. Other cons, which I had more cash at time to get the 37 inch....bigger is better no matter what they say
Other Thoughts: This tv is one to get in my opinion, sure you can get a vizio for alot cheaper but as they say, you get what you pay for and this tv you get more than what you pay for

Great Display
Pros: FullHD (1920x1080) in a 32" panel! Difficult to find for some reason.
1080p Blu-ray content from my PS3 looks excellent. Honestly, of all the display technologies for TVs these days, LCD is generally my least favorite, but the image quality on this thing really impressed me. Even the stretched 4:3 content looks remarkably better than I would have ever hoped.
The on-screen menus are attractive, well thought-out and easy to navigate. Tweaking backlighting, contrast, sharpness, etc. can literally be done in seconds.
Cons: Piano black finish looks great when it's perfectly clean... which is difficult to maintain. A cloth is supplied however.
I suppose that this is more of a pet peeve of mine, but the remote is unnecessarily huge. It should be more like half its size.
Other Thoughts: Even at FullHD resolution it's not that great of a display for a PC monitor. A 30" Dell, for instance, is only a few hundred more but is a 2560 x 1600 panel, which provides for much crisper-looking text.
For those interested in wall-mounting it that may occasionally want to use the power/input select controls directly on the panel, keep in mind that they're located on the top of the display, not the bottom or side, so mounting it somewhat high could make that problematic.

Nice HD TV
Pros: Good looking, bright, clear, dense 1920x1080 LCD panel. 2 HDMI inputs, easy setup, 'small' size fits in our entertainment center. Non-HD programming looks better too. I am very satisfied so far.
Cons: HDMI port setup wasn't automagic. Took me a little while to get it to recognize my Verizon FiOS supplied Motorola QIP6200 series set top box.
Other Thoughts: Watching the Eagles/Packers game in HD was amazingly enjoyable right up to the first play of the game. Not the TV's fault... really more of a special teams problem ;)

Great Value
Pros: This TV has a nice look to it, then turn it on and watch a Blu-Ray DVD it is beautiful. Sound is good enough to enjoy without having to spend extra money on a speaker system. Would recommend this TV as it is difficult to see any difference compared to a set that costs hundreds more.
Cons: If placed near a window, the glare off the black frame can be a little distracting.
Other Thoughts: I bought this TV as a second to my large screen to play PS3 and watch Blu-Ray. I have to say if it were a 40"+ it would replace the large screen. This TV is impressive and the cost is more than competitive. I don't think you could go wrong with a Sharp Aquos TV.

Should be a 4.75
Pros: TV had to fit into an existing piece of furniture and this was the only 1080P 32" LCD I could find that would fit in the space. Excellent, bright picture. Piano finish is very nice. Speakers are better than I hoped. Attached a pioneer 1080P dvd player and movies look great. No motion blur, ghosting, or blurry pixel mess. 2 HDMI inputs! High contrast. Blacks look black. Remote has a button that will illuminate the entire remote so you can use it easier in the dark. Nice overall design of unit - easy to set up. Very light.
Cons: Non HD programming is not horrible, but you notice the difference. Deep bass distorts speakers at higher volume. Each input can be labeled (ex cable or dvd) but there is no listing for Video Game! Piano finish shows dust and does reflect light/images as others have noted. Remote feels light, ok layout. Changing channels takes 2 to 4 seconds depending on if the change is HD to HD (2 sec) or analog to HD (4 sec).
Other Thoughts: My few issues with this tv won't allow me to give it anything less than a 5 star rating, .

Pros: Everything about this TV is awesome. Clear picture, easy setup, multiple imputs/outputs.
Cons: Gets a little hot, but if your room has air flow then there's nothing to worry about
Other Thoughts: I use this obviously as a TV, but also as a computer monitor. The picture is more clear on this than my old 19" CRT that also had a resolution of 1900x1080. If your looking for the lowest costing 1080p television without sacrificing quality, this is for you.

Exellent Display for HD and PC
Pros: My main purpose for this set is HD conent; over air, HD DVD, 360... and use as a PC monitor. The 1080p makes the most difference for the PC side of things. Before this set i had a older 32" sharp 720p and the increased realestate on this new one is great. Plus the dot by dot setting allows 1:1 pixel mapping for great crisp graphics and text.. i play WOW, battlefield 2..etc.. they all looked great on here.
Cons: user setting seem to be forgotten from time to time... piano black finish sucks in finger prints and dust.
Other Thoughts: Banding has said to be an issue with some of these models.. i have yet to see it. hopefully i lucked out.

Nice PC Monitor
Pros: Large PC monitor, 1920x1080, low cost. The PC looks gorgeous running 1920x1080. Works in all common resolutions (older games look great). No dead pixels. The black/silver finish also looks nice.
Cons: No cables included - need DVI to HDMI cable to hook up to PC. Getting the TV to work optimally with the PC wasn't completely intuitive - had to fiddle with View Mode, AV Mode, plus multiple Menu screens. At one point the menus stopped responding to the Enter key - then I realized I had hit the Function key and the remote was in CBL/SAT mode - very frustrating. Didn't even listen to the speakers (using Dolby Digital Live system).
Other Thoughts: Got this for my daughter’s PC. I got a 37" HDTV for my main computer and it works great, but 37" was too big to fit on my daughter’s desk.

sharp quality product delivers
Pros: high quality; well designed; 1080P legitimate; works well as monitor; display for movies nice right out of the box; i watch movies from about 5 feet and IDEAL immersive at that range; at about 9 feet or so i would consider larger; i put on coffee table ;speakers actually better than i expected; nice connectivity
Cons: none really; 32 inch too big as monitor when up close; imagine watching movie theatre screen from 10 feet away; the back is a little ugly if u put on coffee table
Other Thoughts: i own this lcd as well as the sharp 37 gamers model; this product delivers as advertised; this size wont dominate a room; get cables from hdtvsupply.com; TRUE 1080P; one of the few real true cablers

Pros: Relatively low in cost and a great resolution for the size.
Cons: Nadda.
Other Thoughts: DVI is being phased out. VGA connectors are out of fashion these days -- especially for a digital display meant for viewing TELEVISION. Get a 19 dollar DVI-D to HDMI m-m cable or do not complain, "DARK". Reading the product specifications often helps.

Pros: this sharp aquos has a nice picture quality due to its bumped up resolution. the two hdmi are nice for my pc and ps3. audio out allows my speakers to be connect to it.
Cons: the controller isn't that great but its the tv you buy it not the remote.
Other Thoughts: split screen would have been nice. dot by dot makes the picture to scale. want to get a 52 inch for the living room

No VGA or DVI
Pros: Good picture, nice look.
Cons: It has absolutely no computer hookup, something you find on the most low end lcd's. this t.v. has no real reason to support 1080P if it cant even connect to a computer. Garbage.
Other Thoughts: This T.V. sucks.

Sigh
Pros: This is a stunning television, and an exceptional monitor. The colors are vibrant and the blacks are very good for a LCD TV. The piano black finish is beautiful, but it also is a dust magnet.
Cons: Mine arrived in excellent condition, and all seemed well. After about a week I noticed a dead pixel near the exact center of the screen. It was only one pixel so I didn't think anything of it. Over the course of a week, it has grown into a clump of 4 dead, and 1 stuck green. I bought this set locally, and now I hope they will take it back.
Other Thoughts: Some people say that I'm being too picky, but after forking out over a grand for a 32" TV, I was hoping for something a bit more reliable. I bought a Sharp television hoping that I wouldn't have to deal with a defective screen, or dead pixels. I am very disappointed.

Perfect for 360
Pros: 2 HDMI inputs, a great companion for the 360 elite - looks stunning! Built in antenna - off air HD look great! This is a great TV and if you compare this to any brand it will be on your top list!
Cons: No DVI - possibly? Overall great TV! If you want to use as computer LCD just buy an HDMI-to-DVI cable.
Other Thoughts: I recommend paying extra for overnight shipping - I did that and the box arrived in excellent condition - the UPS driver said that was a smart move. I ordered a 47 Westinghouse the week before via Ground and the box came with about 10 big holes in it - I refused the package. Any TV over 32" might be better buying local.

Perfect for a smaller room
Pros: Beautiful picture. Easy setup. Lots of features. Multiple inputs. Newegg price and delivery.
Cons: -The remote is unimpressive. It is pretty useless for other equipment and has "hidden" buttons under a hinged cover, which I use quite often (sleep, av mode, audio). -"Piano" finish is beautiful, but it reflects light from windows, lighting, etc. This is slightly distracting during viewing. -Speakers are also unimpressive, but are adequate for normal TV watching. -As I am sure is the case with all 1080p TVs, standard definition television is almost hard to watch.
Other Thoughts: If you get this TV, have at least one HD source, whether it is HDTV, next gen DVD or game console, etc. I have an older model DVD player connected with component video cables, and the low quality is very noticable. I will be purchasing an upconverting DVD player and another HDMI cable within the next few weeks. I recommend having a 5.1 audio system hooked up for movie and HDTV watching, unless you are just using this as a bedroom tv.

Pros: *Good looking design - piano black finish, unobtrusive looking speakers. Matching stand that is sturdy. *Controls - ton of customizable options including variable backlight control (sensor on front of TV measures ambient light and adjusts the backlight based on the current lighting situation) *Connectivity - plenty of options including 2 HDMI ports, optical output, and cable management system for the back of the screen. *Image quality - excellent picture and full 1080p support. Very, very minimal banding. *Aspect - dot by dot an important feature if you plan to hook up a HTPC *Price - almost a bargain at this price due to feature set and full 1080p
Cons: *Piano black finish - dust shows up easily as well as fingerprints, which may be a concern if you have children. *Poor performance on fast action sequences - I attribute this to the 1080p native resolution. Standard def or 720p signals being upconverted to 1080i by the HD-DVR appears to create some distortions on fast action. Imagine on your computer watching a 640x480 mpeg full-screen on a 24" 1920x1200 monitor and you get the idea. I have not noticed this in Blu-ray movies though, which are 1080p resolution as well. *Speakers - small and lacking *Noise - the digital noise on the screen is a lot more noticeable compared to my old 26" 720p LCD. At the same time though, it is no more than what I noticed on other 1080p LCDs at Best Buy. Remote - Ugly and feels cheap
Other Thoughts: Calibrated with SpyderTV Pro. Using a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD HD-DVR connected via HDMI and PS3 connected via HDMI (no HDCP handshake or other issues of any type). Positives easily outweigh the negatives. If 32" is an adequate size for your situation I would recommend this TV to anyone. Use a universal remote. I have a Logitech Harmony at the moment and I don't know if this TV is too new or what, but Logitech does not support this TV yet. I used an older model in my setup (LC-32D40U) and the controls work perfectly. Digital noise reduction on low is a good compromise. Using the high setting causes loss of sharpness. On low setting the noise is not very noticeable from appropriate viewing distances and maintains sharpness. The reason for purchasing this TV was because I got a PS3 and it has not disappointed. Blu-ray and PS3 games look incredible on this television.

Amazing TV for the Price
Pros: Amazing picture quality, Dual HDMI, Full 1080p resolution, looks great
Cons: stand assembly was annoying, took some calibrating to get the picture just right.
Other Thoughts: With full 1080p resolution this TV has an amazing picture, especially for the price. Tons of features to calibrate with and parental controls as well. Dual HDMI are great for upgrade paths like Blu Ray/PS3 or HD-DVD device.

Amazing
Pros: Excellent TV!! 2x HDMI Inputs, 2000:1 Contrast Ratio, 6ms Response Time, Great View Angles. Capable of displaying 1080p when connected to a HD Source, Ex: PS3.
Blu-Ray Movies and PS3 Games look absolutely amazing, I also have HD Cable Service which displays most channels at 1080i which also looks incredible.
Cons: This TV arrived with 6 Dead Pixels, however only 3 are noticable that being if you are 1 to 2ft from the TV, and of course a dark scene. Most people however don't notice it.
The Optical Digit Output doesn't work too well, seems to only produce stereo, however i fixed my problem by not even using it, and using the one provided on my new HD Cable Box.
Other Thoughts: Dispite the few dead pixels, i'm overall happy with this purchase, i really couldn't be happier.
For the price & quality, this tv is an amazing buy.

WOW!
Pros: 1. Excellent Picture 2. 2 HDMI inputs 3. 2 Component inputs 4. 1080p over component (great for 360 owners) 5. As usual New Egg has excellent shipping. TV was supposed to be here tomorrow. It arrived at 10am this morning :-)
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I was floored by how good the picture looks on this set. I had seen the AQUOS line at my local Best Buy but after comparing to my old HD set in the comfort of my own home, I was even more impressed. The difference between this set and my old LCD 32" 720p set is night and day. The difference between this and set and my old HD set is just as big if not bigger than the difference between my old SDTV and my old HDTV. Stop reading my ramblings and buy this TV!!
