Out of the box and without any kind of adjustment, there were plenty of motion problems...images would be blurred while the camera was zooming in or away from an image at a football game, for example. Once the camera (important note: not the image itself) stopped, then all would be fine. When a new camera image with images in motion, there were very jagged outlines for a fraction of a second.

Once I delved into the owners manual and on screen menu, I found that you can cure about 99% of these problems. In the Advanced Video portion of the on screen menu, for example, you use the DRC Mode which ..."Creates a high-resolution picture with 4X density, for high quality sources (i.e., DVD player, satellite receiver)". There are a few other neat tricks to apply as well.

Once you nailed these down, the picture id quite good. On a quality DVD, I mentioned Saving Private Ryan, there is a sense of depth that I was not expecting. Properly set, it takes on a film-like look. I commented to my wife, that it is much closer (in DVD) to many HDTV images than I thought it would be.

I purchased mine from Circuit City, and I doubt that chain stores will have properly set this thing up. I used Video Essentials DVD and was a little suprised by the settings I dialed in (compared to a CRT I had).

Finally, don't know how analog cable looks on it, but if you really enjoy DVDs, HDTV this is a great little set. Weighs less than 70 lbs, near impossible to burn an image into the screen and only requires a light bulb replacement (though expensive).
