very good connectivity, the picture quality is very rich considering the cost. Looks great against all those other glossy finished tv's.
XBox360 and hddvd is really sharp, and plugged into a good surround system does the job.

A vibrating sound has started to occur from the rear of the unit - very annoying at times. It happens when there is to much base or even if the volume is too high.

The simplistic style of the television and the unique base was one of the selling points for me, when use with a high definition dvd player or one that upscales then this item truly is on a league of its own.

Good looks, especially like the crescent shaped table top stand.
Picture quality good, as long as you reduce the amount of backlight to a low level - need to do this as part of picture setup.

Sound quality could be better. It is not as good as my Toshiba 28" widescreen CRT. The bass is a bit lacking and when boosted it causes vibration of the casing. Also the access to the HDMI connections could be better.
