Great tv for the price!
I have had this 56inch DLP for about 3 weeks now, and I'm still very happy with the decision to buy it. The performance of the TV all depends on your source signal. Given a good HD signal the picture on this TV is just awesome, but analog signal looks bad due to the large size of the screen. SD signal produces ok pictures. Moving pictures in all 3 signal modes are clear with no blurring or streaking.

There is plenty of inputs for all the accessory one would need. I recommend using the component video inputs whenever possible for best picture quality. My playstation 2 works great on this TV with no delay of any sort. My buddy says the picture quality will be better if I use the component video inputs, but I haven't got around to buying the cable yet.

Most TV of this class have more than 30watts for sound, but this hasn't been an issue at all. For normal viewing I'm only using about 1/5 of max. I find the sound quality to be excellent on this TV.

I really like the antenna/cable button on the remote, since I have analog cable and use a roof top antenna for many over the air broadcast HD channels. Most of the 80 or so channels on my Comcast analog cable service is SD quality, and there are only a handful of HD channels.

The negatives of this TV so far has been the lack of a HD tuner for the PIP feature, and the lack of a PIP/main picture swap button on the remote. (PIP won't pickup HD channels, and you have to go into several layers in the menu to swap pictures with the PIP.

Speaking of menus, the transparent on screen menu on this TV is very cool, as you can see the effect of the changes or adjustment you're making as you make them.

Given my experience thusfar I would buy this TV again, and I'm sure most people will be very happy with it as well.

We love our BIG TV...
My bonus son and I love this TV. For the price and type of TV (DLP), you get a lot for your money. Crisp, clear picture, espeically on HDTV channels. Sound could be better so I recommend running it through an external receiver or dvd player.

This makes watching television or dvds so much better!

Great Purchase
I am very happy with my purchase. I am still getting used to the smaller screen size but its also a lot thinner then I imagined. Definately worth the price. Excellent colors and HDTV is great on this TV.

great TV at a great price
I got this tv for $1849 shipped. For the money you can't get a better TV. I had a set top receiver prior to getting this tv, and this tv with it's internal HD receiver gets more over the air HD channels than I was getting. With all of its capabilities, this is one great buy.

Great picture, slim form
I was in the market for a new TV after my 65inch Optoma crapped out on me. Came across this TV and after reading so many postivive reviews both here and elsewhere decided to buy it. I am very happy with my purchase. I am still getting used to the smaller screen size but its also a lot thinner then I imagined. Definately worth the price. Excellent colors and HDTV is great on this TV.
