This 58" TV has great viewing angles from the side. More like an IPS monitor than a TN panel...it doesn't dim much unless you are close to 90 degrees away from screen angle..

No problem , it is an incredible set, don't worry about buzzing or burn in. It's a thing of the past, it will be the best tv you've ever seen.Let me know if I can answer any other questions i did allot of homework

I've had this set for a few days, its fantastic! Only quirk is there is slight ghosting with dark objects against bright backgrounds (only during motion scenes; looks like yellow trails). I think its a drawback of the filterbright technology, but not too sure. Its not prominent enough to warrant a return though; black level is awesome, looks 'nearly' as dark as the frame around the tv in a dark environment.Coming from being a longtime 32'' LCD owner makes it even more impacting.

I ended up purchasing this display as well...and I'm very happy with it. I've owned the TV for roughly a month now...Regarding the questions that I asked previously in this post, I have yet to see any banding issues on any DVDs or Blu rays, no clouding issues, and have not experienced any hdmi hand shaking issues what so ever. I really can not comment right now on the sports issue due to the football season being over...but I will be watching the NCAA tourney! So far, the TV has performed exceptional and the picture quality is excellent. I feel the display's panel being a 10 bit panel over an 8 bit like most other LCD displays really is beneficial!by the way, Thanks for the response James :P I ended up purchasing this display as well...and I'm very happy with it.

Anyone got any other calibration settings. Ryans settings are great but I find the colors to be a little bit dead, also Netflix on PS3 does not look the best even on X-High compared to my 720p LG. Nvm problem solved they look nice its just some HD streams look worse then others. Also presume your not suppose to be standing right next to the TV while watching :o.I raised the color settings and lowered the black level to make the picture have more color.Thanks Ryan!

Angles aren't good with this TV. The picture just turns dark from the sides or up or down. You generally have to be in front of it, not much of an angle.

As far as look..the picture looks much more natural that my other lcd tvs that tend to be extra bright making the people look "too" colorful. This is most likely due to the micro dimming feature that makes the blacks more black. It gives everythign a little more depth. Cant give you info on gaming..I dont play games. It does not firefly as much as my old Samsung probably because its 240hz vs 120. Mine is the 65 inch so not sure if small models are even smoother...That would probably make gaming better if you want to play on a big screen. Good luck.

I have the 100" airbright 3d it works decent I have a great viewing angle. Every time someone comes over to watch the game or movies they all love it. I do have some sort of image imperfection on the screen. Its only noticable on a white screen projected. I did send back one screen because of it and it was the same type of imperfection on the new screen. The problem is you won't see it until the screen is fully put together. I said forget it the second time around it was not that major to have to restrech another screen..overall I would give this screen a 7.5 out of 10. Its the best you will find for the money.

During daylight hours the picture does diminish somewhat. When direct light hits the screen there is glare from the light. I am able to watch TV without a problem with natural light in the room.

I have not had any issues with this TV. We watch it a lot a night in our bedroom with lights low, as well during the morning with full sunllight in the room. Great TV!

I just got mine last night... viewing angles aren't as great as LCD's, that's for sure... left and right as well as up and down. I really didn't appreciate just how big this thing was going to be til it came in. I have it up too high and you can notice the difference pretty easily from having your eyes on level with the center of the screen and being above/below that point. I have a chair that is about 45 degrees and you can also notice the picture dim compared to sitting straight in front, but its not too bad. I wouldn't want to sit at much more of an angle than that though. I'd say its got about 90 degrees of solid viewing and then it starts noticeably degrading. You're definitely going to want to sit as close to head-on to this thing as you can get with your eye-level near the center though. I think the up/down viewing angle is worse. Very happy though overall... Kind of shocked what I got for my money. I was looking to get the biggest best TV I could for under $1k and frankly, I ended up with more than I bargained for.

I found the TV must be viewed directly in front of you. It tends to lose the picture quality if watched from the side.

We just got our UNC7000 shipped yesterday from Amazon and it truly is an amazing tv, I especially like the internet widgets. But you do notice the lights (slight dim light on black background) on the edges of the tv when you're watching movies with the black border edges. It is not a very bright and distracting light and does not take anything away from the picture quality.As a side note, we weren't looking to a buy a 3d TV but were blown away by the 3d picture.

I have heard that the brightness is really only a problem in the show rooms. Once you take it home and start watching it under more "normal" lighting conditions then it looks good. For the most part "cinema" mode and the like just lower the brightness so that it is not overwhelming when you are watching it in a darker room.

Not at all. It is a great picture and the curve in the screen eliminates any distortion when viewed from the sides. A great tv!

I share your pain. I have done many tests on this tv and also experimented trying to get the best picture. Here are the values I have found best and are currently using.Brightness 50Sharpness 3Contrast 36Black Level 55Color 50Tint 0Color Temp 0Light Sensor OffDynamic Backlight OFFNoise Reduction MiddleI am using this for Directv, PC, and PS3 all connected with hdmi cables.

The TV is edge lit with LEDs. It claims to do local dimming, but with edge lit TVs, the local dimming is very coarse (unlike full array backlights, which can dim smaller sections of the screen more effectively). In my experience with the TV, it basically dims the entire screen if it is mostly black or dark. For example, during the credits of a movie where the screen is mostly black with a little white text, the entire screen would suddenly dim. In a completely dark room the screen would not look completely black like a plasma or OLED, though. It just drops the backlight level to make the blacks look darker. I actually didn't really care for how it was implemented on this TV, though; I found the sudden drop in backlight level while watching TV jarring.
