 Terrific set |

This is really an excellent set. I have waited a long time to buy my first HDTV and I finally bought this because it had a price I liked and the right features. I haven't yet been able to test it on a high def picture (that will happen tomorrow), but it's terrific for standard definition. I have tried it on VCD, Divx, DVD and regular cable and it looks great on all of them. I do have a few suggestions on how to get the best picture from this set.
1) Some will disagree, but if your source is not 16x9 (either anamorphic DVD or widescreen HD broadcasts), you really should watch it in 4:3 mode and not have it needlessly stretch the video to 16:9 mode. You can change the viewing mode with the remote control. If you don't like black sidebars on 4:3 viewing and only want to see full screen for everything, don't complain if the stretching makes the imperfections in the original source more apparent.
2) Use a component (NOT composite!) output or HDMI output from your DVD player to the TV and set the output on the DVD player to progressive (if it supports it). My DVD player is a cheap Philips DVP-642 and the output of everything I have tried looks great. Even low resolution VCD looks really good on this TV. My DVD player is too old and cheap to support HDMI output, but component output looks great. I compared S-Video output with component output and component is the way to go.
3) Don't sit too close. My viewing distance is 9 feet and the TV looks great at this distance. If you sit only 2-3 feet away, imperfections are somewhat more noticeable. If you are going to sit very close to your TV, you need a smaller screen unless you can live with being able to see every minute imperfection in everything you watch. |

| Had it up and running in one hour. Unbelievable picture. Only using S-video input and its great. Haven't got the HDTV yet. Using Directv standard input. With standard DVD receiver put into A/V inputs on side of set. Controls are very easy to use and understand. I can't wait unitl I get HDTV Sat. I am waiting until Directv puts up its next 5 birds so more content will be available. Very, very happy with unit. Recommend it highly. Easy-Mount wall mount from Amazon worked easily and looks good... |
