My Experience: I bought this TV in April 2007 for a great price and it has served me well. I use it for HDTV signals and my xbox 360. I find the picture to be amazing and is on par with any of the more well-known television brands. The audio is great and the vertical speakers combined with horizontally placed BOSE speakers via tuner really saturate the room well. It is pretty resistant to burn-in though I was careful in its first 100-200 hours of life to not crank the colour and to not view too many stationary images. I've played many, many hours of Halo 2, COD 3 and Halo 3 on this thing and none of the HUD images had a lasting impression on the screen. A few moments of EquatorHD or Oasis HD and it's gone. Though it is a 1080i, the jaggies you may get with high-motion like sports or video games are not something that I've noticed. When playing a Halo 3 launch party and put next to my buddy's 40 inch Samsung LCD, the Samsung was blown away. The ghosting and frequently blurred and soft images of my friend's TV were very apparent next to the much sharper and faster-refreshing HP of mine. Overall: great, great TV. The handles on the back of this behemoth also make transporting it much much easier.
Problems: Screwing the speakers on to the frame was a pain. Getting the screws aligned in the deep sockets was hard and you can't use screwdrivers with interchangeable bits because the shafts are too big.
