This is a great set overall. We have been using it as our main set for the past 4 months and have no issues with it. The main thing is the picture which is super; whether using our satellite, DVD or blue-ray. Sound quality is OK; not great but certainly not bad. We are amazed at how light it is for such a large screen. We have a recessed area in our den for a TV an it fits perfectly in this space - filling it completely. It is almost like it was made just for this set.
It takes a while to boot up, maybe 15 seconds or so, but once it is on the picture is fantastic. There is a bit of the "rainbow" effect that DLP's are known for but it is not a problem for us and no one who watches the set ever mentions it. This effect is none existent during the day but becomes more pronounced as the room gets darker (ie: at night). If you are not familiar with this, it only happens when you QUICKLY look away. If you are watching the set, there is no rainbow at all. We have also noted that there is a BIG difference in picture quality depending on what receiver box it is hooked up to. Our first was a DVR (non-HD) from Directv which was good and then that one failed on us, while we were waiting for a replacement we hooked up a standard box from Directv and that picture was terrible. Then the "new" DRV (non-HD) was received and it has a superior picture. You would think that the same signal would yield the same quality, but we noticed a big variance - go figure.
PROS:
- Great picture. Blue ray is unreal!
- No motion artifacts / jitter that we saw on LCD or Plasma sets. Even the 240Hz had some of this.
- Light weight.
- All screen! Almost zero boarder.
- Incredible amount of user set up options.
- 3D ready (although we have no experience with this to share).
- Fantastic color rendition. Much better than anything else we have seen.
- Great image depth.
- Cost. You will not find anything even close to this set for this price. DLP rocks!
CONS:
- Not a flat screen. You won't be hanging this on the wall.
- Some "rainbow" effect. It does not bother us at all.
- Best viewed straight on (which is how we use it). Some picture degradation to the side.
Some have stated that they hear the light wheel. Ours is dead quiet.
Some have mentioned the "blinking green led". No problem with ours.
Bottom line - if something happened to this set, we would buy it again.
