Excellent picture from this unit, with lots of HDMI, component, and composite video inputs. Viewing angle is excellent, and the automatic brightness adjustment works well.
This unit does a good job on handling standard (480i) inputs. The stretch mode will adjust a 480i picture to the size of the screen, maintaining the 4:3 ratio (i.e. black bars on the sides). The zoom mode is appropriate for letter-boxed DVDs and movies, and enlarges the letterbox to fill the screen, again maintaining the original aspect ratio. There are some additional stretching modes, including a "smart stretch" mode that pulls out the sides of a 4:3 image to fill the 16:9 screen without distorting the center of the image. Works fairly well, but not certain I'd use it.
For higher quality inputs, the available stretching modes are dynamically adjusted to a set appropriate for the input. I'll update further once I have more experience with them.
I've got a A/V system to handle the audio, so I have no comments there. One minor annoyance is that TV displays "No appropriate audio signal found" whenever the input or picture mode is changed. Well, duh. I haven't found a way to suppress that message yet.
