Full review

I purchased this television in February of 2008 from BJ's Wholesale club. It has a different model number there, but from what I see online it appears to be the exact same.

This television seems to have amazing color and backlighting compared to others on display at the store. I nearly purchased a 60 inch Sony rear projection for $800 less, but side by side the picture quality was no comparison. This TV is crisper, brighter, deeper colors (I like the black levels, but I'm not an expert by any means), and you have no glare whatsoever. I'm very impressed. HD quality is amazing, and SD quality is just fine. I find myself watching things on TV I normally wouldn't bother just because it's in HD and everything looks new again.

It has 3 HDMI inputs, and excellent connectivity. It has a PC input and plenty of component inputs. It's not too heavy either.

The only complaint I have is with the slight motion blur with fast moving scenes. I'm told even the higher end models with the 120 hz motion blur processing still struggle with this issue. Perhaps it's just an LCD thing.
