Strengths: impressive picture quality at high resolution

Weaknesses: lack of picture in picture and low quality picture under 720P

Overall Evaluation: This is my first LCD HDTV. Overall. I am quite satisfied with the picture quality at high resolution (above 720p). This is especially more impressive when using it to watch HDTV channel and playing xbox 360 games. Though I didn?t try Blue Ray and HD DVD yet, I should say it probably gives a similar strong eye impact. The audio quality is among average, so to enjoy a theatre experience, a pair of high quality speaker is strongly recommended.

Strengths: displaying 720p+ video

Weaknesses: displaying anything below 720p

Overall Evaluation: anything beside video quality (audio, case style, etc) is average so my focus will be on the video quality. watching SD stuff on this unit will definitely give HP a bad name.
