My Experience: Nice picture, sound is average. I bought it thinking that it had a sound-leveling feature ("Autosound" mentioned in the manual), but turns out that this is something quite different and useless instead. A nice feature is the presence of vertical gray bars when viewing a 4:3 aspect image via the tuner. I prefer this method of preventing burn-in to stretching the image as others do. The TV has a PC input and a nice selection of A/V inputs.

Problems: No problems so far but I have a wish-list for this model: Smart-sound leveler, RS232 port, quick-access button for blanking the picture to prevent burn-in, more zoom modes, the option to turn on the gray bars when using HDMI.
