I spent about 3 months researching before buying the 46V2500. It's a manageable size and weight for a 46" set. It has 2 HDMI inputs and it would be nice at times to have 3.The color balance right out the box was good, it only required a little fine tuning. Everything looks good on it, regular cable, standard DVD's and BluRay 1080p discs. I have it hooked up to a TIVO 3 HDDVR and a BluRay player. Everything looks sharp and there is no blurring with action scenes as is the case with some LCDs.The built in speakers are better than average, but I would recommend a 5.1 external system, it makes a big difference.
