    Duration of ownership:10 Days

    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. The TV is impressive with three HDMI input on the side, also other AV and component ports, and equipped with a QAM tuner. But it lacks USB port, which I wish to use to see digital photos. I would say to watch analog signal TV is some bad with this unit, perhaps HP should give us more delicate adjustment to make it better, all in all HDTV channel is not commonly available for common users. As this TV is to be classified as the high end HDTV (1080p), I am disappointed that the TV lacks picture in picture. This skipped my eyes upon the purchase. In summary I would recommend it if the price falls under the budget of 1000 dollars.

    Duration of ownership:

    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. HP probably skipped the whole SD routine because it didn't scale well with the 1080p resolution. another joke is its video adjustment, going thru the preset show minimal changes in visual quality. this panel is only good for high def stuff, forget it if you want to watch SD.
