Great value for money
I bought this TV a month ago and was amazed at just how good it is. It's big enough to make PS2 games like Medal Of Honour scary and the overall size isn't as big as I though so fits well in even a medium sized room.. The picture is very clear from almost any angle and the sound is excellent by itself (although I now have the home theatre unit all hooked up and the package put together makes it not worth going to the movie theatre anymore!). The remote is simple to use and the options are fantastic. All in all I am very very pleased with it and can recommend this set to anyone.

Wow. Monolithic Size, Superior Picture Quality
I bought this TV ... and as soon as it's out of the box and in place, you get happy just sitting in front of it and staring at it, as if it were a peice of art. I believe it is. It represents the wants and needs of todays tvs and the future.
It is the first projection tv I found, that made me drool. Even beside it's tube competitors. The new line of KP53HS30s are so sweet, I think that anyone would just drop their jaw, and drool, not only at it's size, but at the bonus feature package it contains.
Here are a few, just to wet your lips:
- Auto White Balance
- V-Chip Parental Control (so your kids won't see what they shouldn't)
- Express Tuning System (181 Channels)
- Easy set up button (so you can just plug it in and go)
- Dynamic Acoustic Chamber (DAC) Speaker System (20 Watts x 2 Built In)
- Flexible Twin-View™ 2-Tuner Picture-and-Picture (HD, NTSC) (so you can watch 2 different station's sports coverage of an event)

If those features aren't compelling on their own, maybe you should just go out and see it. It trully is breath taking.
