Summary: I've been very happy with the picture quality. I can adjust the color to my taste and the high definition comes out looking absolutely amazing. If you use this right out of the box though, I don't think you will be very happy with the picture quality until you get HD picture quality, that's where this set shines. The remote control kind of looks and feels like a toy. The nice part is that since it is not too complicated, there really is no used to use it again and again other than volume and to change channels. So just set it up when you first get the TV and then be done with the remote. For those with home theatre systems, you might want to go a universal remote for all your components and replace the TV remote. I like the active scale feature where the automatically scales the picture to what they think is the best format. Sometimes, it automatically changes the picture randomly, that can get annoying but i figure its just the TV trying to find the best way to display the image. The installation the comes with the TV and the swivel stand are great. Its really simple to install and the swivel stand is such a nice feature. Once you install the swivel stand, it feels really solid so i wouldn't worry about anything falling over anytime soon. The tuner does a decent job. Once it locates all of your channels, the HD channels come in nice and sharp. My only gripe is that sometimes, it seems a bit too sharp and it almost looks blurry. I think i can eventually get rid of this if i just play with the initial install some more. This philips TV also takes a few seconds to turn itself on from the time that you hit the power button. This was something that i did not know when i saw this at bestbuy. We just looked at the TV quality and went with it. We never bothered to turn the TV on and off. If you don't mind the delay, then this isn't really a weakness. But sometimes, after a long day at work and you just want to watch TV, those 10 seconds can seem like an eternity.
