Sharp LC46E77U Competes with Sony/Samsung @ a better value

Spent time in stores before i bought this tv looking at all makes, models, brands. There are not alot of Sharp Aquos tvs in my area but plenty of the more expensive Sony and Samsungs.
Luckily for me my buddy bought the 52" 60 hz refresh of this model and I was able to see the beatiful picture.
Once I got the HD Direct tv service installed and adjusted the many picture related settings in this panel to my liking I am totally satisfied with my purchase.
The picture is, in my opinion perfect. HD programming looks so good its almost painful.
I have a PC in my living room attached to the panel via a DVI to HDMI cable. 700 MB DVD rips look flawless on this panel. No pixelation or atifacts with vivid vibrant color and lighting.
I dont use the speakers on the panel though i do use it to feed my Sony surround system with fixed output. It does not negatively impact sound quality.
I would highly reccomend this panel to anyone who wants high end features without the high end prices demanded by the bigger name manufacturers.
Most importantly image quality (once adjusted) cannot be beat.
The dynamic contrast and backlighting do a great job of changing picture settings with changing room lighting. I did find it best to limit the range of the OPC (auto backlighting feature) as I prefer a very bright picture.
The movie playback quality is unbelievable, especially considering the sometimes poor quality of video Im feeding it.
Spend some time adjusting this TV and you will be well rewarded.
