Great set!

I picked this LCD up yesterday from a local HHGregg in Cincinnati. This is my 3rd HDTV and is a replacement for a 32" Sony KLV-32M1 LCD. I must say that so far I am very impressed. Since I just got this set I can't go into a lengthy review yet, but I'll give a quick rundown of my pros/cons.

PROS:
* Ultra-thin bezel! Because the bezel is SO thin, I was able to get this 40" into my armoire where I would normally only get a 37".
* Nice black levels for an LCD.
* Color levels are outstanding!
* Swivel stand for those that need it
* THREE HDMI 1.3 inputs
* 1080p
* Analog picture is better than I expected

CONS:
* Swivel stand has a large footprint. Not a big deal unless you are squeezing it into a limited space.
* Speakers aren't as good as the Sony I replaced.
* Issue with using 3rd party remote to control TV volume. On both my Tivo Series3 remote and my Universal Remote MX-350 the TV volume goes up/down 1-3 levels with just 1 click on either remote.
* 1080p @ 60hz instead of 120hz. (not a huge deal for me....)

So far, so good.

Pros: Great picture. Crystal clear. Automatically recognizes incoming signal type. Accurate colors after changing setting from "brilliant" to "normal." HD picture quality is amazing.

Cons: Not so good with a standard def signal. It's watchable, but not impressive at all. In HD, there's a little blur or ghosting on fast action - not a big deal. I guess 120 Hz instead of 60 is all that could be done to improve this.

This was a good buy at HH Gregg for $1500. I think the sound quality is quite good compared to my old TV and I am not having any problems with the DirecTV universal remote like the previous reviewer described.
