5ms panel @ 60Hz, 30,000:1 dynamic contrast (looks like about 2,000:1 true to me)...

It's a very nice TV... and at this size, I can noticeably discern between 720p and 1080p ... and I gotta say.. 1080p sources are amazing.

The saddest part right now is that I'm waiting for my Rogers HD box to arrive, and standard def sources are pretty chunky looking.

Where this TV shines is playing games... true digital sources look amazing on this thing... and if you're a PS3 owner, playing Super Startdust HD, or the Pixel Junk games from the PSN are true examples of sharp looking games.

I would group Gran Tourismo in there as well, but they have some poorly rendered shadows that become too evident at those resolutions...

And then when you hit 720p... I've found new love for Warhawk.  though I got my ass handed to me lastnight (taking a month off doesn't help hone one's skills apparently).

I wish cellphone pics could do this thing justice...

That was going to be one of my questions? Can you tell the difference between 720p and 1080p? How much did that set you back?

So is surround next?
