For the purpose I got this it does a great job. We use it to watch DVD's, we have it hooked through the S-video connection and it looks great. Eventually we plan to upgrade to the HDMI connection and I'm sure it'll look much better. There's enough inputs in this TV to fill anyones needs.We tried hooking up our kids video games to it but it actually looked worst than our 10 year old Quasar, it sort of looked too pixelated?! So we kept our games connected to the "old box." Maybe I just need to read the manual and change some settings?Sony makes great products, but I really hate their customer service with a passion. I purposely stayed away from buying their products for over 13 years. If I could find anything comparable I would always go with the competition. With this TV I couldn't so I broke down and finally bought another Sony.Another thing, it's really heavy, I believe it weighs over 150 lbs. I was able to move it but I'm not a small guy.....
