After doing a lot of research, budgeting and sweating for several months last year I picked up one of these from Amazon in October or so. The only part that sucked was waiting for it to arrive, though it only took a few weeks. Ever since then we have loved everything about it. The picture is great, the sound is surprisingly decent for a TV, and the piano black cabinet is pretty. I'm not an audio or videophile but I'm fairly discriminating, and pretty well educated on these things due to my line of work. I work with a lot of high end displays that I could never possibly afford, but ever since getting this Aquos I haven't felt like I've been missing anything.
I calibrated the picture using a special DVD, twice, when it was brand new. I haven't touched any of the settings since and everything looks fantastic. The viewing angles are wide enough so that it looks just as good from any of the places in our living room where you'd watch it. We use it mostly for HDTV (Verizon FiOS) but I also have a 1080i upscaling DVD player and all of our movies look so much better on this TV that it's nearly like seeing them again for the first time. Video games from 1080p sources look fantastic too. The case doesn't get as dusty as I thought it would, and the screen almost never picks up any dust at all. I can't think of a single complaint I could personally make about this TV, although if I had a lot of devices to plug into it, the lack of more HDMI inputs would be a concern.
I noticed that six people tagged this with "120 hz refresh rate." I don't know where that came from because I am fairly sure this is a 60 HZ display.
