Hey all ... I just finished my hooking up and setting up and working all the menus and setting all the preferences and all that.It is easy, just make sure you read the manual that goes along with it as you do it and you'll be fine.Picture is absolutely killer !!! I have it hooked up to a Comcast HD receiver and an older VCR and my SONY old standard DVD player, and everything is great and tested out fine.MY shipment was fine, and was fast with no damage whatsoever.The digital channels look waaaaaaaaay better than a standard tv, and the HD channels will blow you away.There are also LOTS of preferences and "tweaking" you can do with both audio and video preferences, and yes it came out #1 in the March 2008 Consumer Reports (I checked)...you won't be disappointed.UPDATE 8 april 2011still working great, there are no problems ever encountered, zero issues, excellent tv
